Response of bottlegourd (Lagenaria Siceraria Standley) to the application of inorganic fertilizer and spraying with sargassum tea
Abstract
Nowadays, most cultivated farms for crop production are already depleted with soil nutrients due to intensive planting with various crops to sustain the demand of food of the fast-increasing population. It was observed that the depletion of soil nutrients had great effect to the productivity of the farm that resulted to low crop yield and inferior quality of produce. The most intensively planted crop that contributed much to the depletion of the soil nutrients are cereals and vegetables. In vegetable production, one of the most intensively cultivated vegetable is the bottlegourd (Lagenaria siceraria Standley). It belongs to the Cucurbitaceae’s family that can be planted year-round. To enhance the growth and yield of the bottlegourd, the application of inorganic fertilizer and spraying with Sargassum tea was done. Hence, this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the application of different rates of inorganic fertilizer and spraying with different concentrations of Sargassum tea on the growth and yield of the bottlegourd. The experiment was laid out in three blocks and the treatments were arranged following the 4 x 5 Factorial Randomized Complete Block Design. Result revealed complementary effects of the application of inorganic fertilizer and spraying with Sargassum tea that the bottlegourd applied with 100% Recommended Rate Inorganic Fertilizer and Sprayed with 1 Part Sargassum Tea: 15 Parts Water (I3S3) was the earliest to have harvestable fruits at 54.17 days after transplanting, highest fruit yield (27.47 tha-1) and net income (PhP240,562.36).
