RESULTS AND
DISCUSSIONS:
Mean
yield components at maximum tillering stage or 60 days:
(See Table 1.)
Mean
plant height, in cms:
T2 (m099) plants surpassed all other treatments in terms
of average plant height at 72.36 cms. This was, however,
not significantly taller than T8 (M-99 + CB-RSG) with
attained a height of 70.16 cms. In combination with
wither full (T8), 1/3 (T4) or ½ (T6) amount of inorganic
fertilizer CB -RSG did not significantly induce higher
plants. Compared to that of the untreated plants, T7
(CB-RSG) indicated that CB-RSG has a fertilizing value.
Tiller
count, per m2:
Statistical results reveal that when applied with full
inorganic fertilizer (M-99 + CB-RSG), the highest number
of tillers (579) was produced. However, there were no
significant differences among those treatments that were
likewise sprayed with CB-RSG organic liquid/foliar
fertilizer. Again, the fertilizing value of CB-RSG was
evidently shown when T7 (CB-RSG alone) significantly
produced 219 more tillers that the untreated plants.
