ABSTRACT
Growth and Yield Performance of Pechay (Brassica chinensis L.)
as Affected by the Different Rates
of Organic Fertilizer

The study was conducted to evaluate the growth and yield performance of petchay
as affected by the diferent application rates of organic fertilizer. The experiments aimed
to find out the effects of different application rates of organic fertilizer on different
commercial Petchay varieties. Factor A, the commercial varieties, represented three
treatments: Al (East-West Variety), A2 (Kaneko Variety), A3 (Ramgo Variety), and
Factor B was the application of different rates of organic fertilizer which were
represented with four treatments: B1 (Recommended Rate), B2 (Recommended Rate plus
5 tons Organic), B3 (Recommended Rate plus 10 tons Organic) B4 (Recommended rate
plus 15 tons Onganic).
The result of the study shows that plant height, number of leaves, leaf length and
yield per hectare were highly afected by the different rates of organic fertilizer
application while leaf width failed to show a significant difference with respect to the
application of different rates of organic fertilizer.
The result shows that using Kaneko Variety applied with the different level of
organic fertilizer gives the highest yield of 23,819,46 kg/ha and the lowest yield was
observed in East-West Variety of 20,625.003 kg/ha. Furthermore, the application of
inorganic fertilizer (RR) with 10 tons/ha of chicken manure gave the highest yield
regardless of variety used and the lowest yield was observed in treatment l or application
of inorganic fertilizer alone. On the other hand, highest ROI was observed in Ramgo
Variety regardless of rates of fertilizer and application of inorganic fertilizer alone also
exhibits the highest ROI.
