Growth performance of bani (pongamia pinnata) seedlings using different organic fertilizers - Bulanadi, Carol A.; Galicia, Leana S. (Magalang, Pampanga : Pampanga State Agricultural University, 2021)
This experiment was conducted from May to July 2021 at the experimental area of San Roque Bitas, Arayat, Pampanga. In this study, Bani (Pongamia pinnata) seedlings was used as an experimental plant. The age of the seedlings that were used is two (2) months old. Treatments were arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). There are 5 Treatments that were used for the experiment with three replications. Three hundred seedlings were used in the study and twenty seedlings per treatment. Treatments are as follows: TOControl, T1= 15 grams of vermicast, T2= 15 grams of Cow manure. T315 grams of chicken manure, T415 grams of coco peat. Plant height revealed in the measurement that plants in control measures the highest mean with 12.15cm and followed by the T3 measures 12.00cm, T1 with 11.69em, T4 with 10.44cm while plants with no treatment mean 9.25cm measures the lowest mean. Plant diameter recorded that plants T2 obtained a highest mean of 1.96mm and followed by the Ti with 1.92mm, T3 with 1.82mm, T4 with 1.76mm while plants with no treatment with 1.51mm obtained the lowest mean. Number of leaves showed that there is no significant difference among treatments applied, T1 is the highest mean with 22.51 followed by the T2 with 21.47, Number of leaves showed that there is no significant difference among treatments applied, T1 is the highest mean with 22.51 followed by the T2 with 21.47, T4 with 20.83, T3 with 18.41 and TO with 17.36 is the lowest mean. Percent survival did not show significant difference among all treatments. All parameters are similar to all treatments applied. It was concluded that all treatments do not show variance in all parameters applies and treated. It can be revealed that 15 grams organic fertilizers application do not have significant effect on plants height, plant diameter, number of leaves and percentage survival. Based on the output of this study, it recommends the following: The researcher recommends further study on the higher 15 grams used of different organic fertilizers application on the Bani seedlings. The researcher also recommends the use of other fertilizers in studying the fertilizer's effects on plant.
