The horticultural characteristics assessment of Pechay (Brassica rapa) using fish and fish waste based-organic fertilizer fermented with molasses
Abstract
Nowadays, great amount of waste is being produce in the fish markets and processing industries. This study aims to find out the effect of using fish and fish waste as organic fertilizer on the growth of pechay. The study was arranged in a randomized setup with three (3) treatments and three (3) replications, each treatment has 30 samples. Among the treatments are T1– 50g/5g, T2-150g/10g and T3– 200 g/15 g). The study uses the one-way ANOVA. Results showed that T3 has the highest total mean growth of 16.4 cm and 15.77 cm in length compared to T2 and T1. The size of the leaves recorded with 14.37 cm and 7.96 cm wide. A 100% survival rate was obtained in all treatments. Significant difference was observed in the size of the leaves, other showed not significant results. The result is a good potential for adoption, especially it would benefit to the local farmers.
