Abstract
The study was conducted at SPAMAST, Buhangin, Malita, Davao Occidental Philippines from April to June 2022. It was conducted to evaluate the growth and yield performance of Pechay (Brassica rapa L.) using Vermitea and Nutrient Solution Under Non-Circulating Hydroponic System.
Complete Randomized Design (CRD) was laid out with four (4) treatments and replicated three (3) times as follows: Treatment 1 – 25 mL Simple Nutrient Addition Program (SNAP) per 10 Liters of water; Treatment 2 – 100 mL Vermitea per 10 Liters of water; Treatment 3 – 25 mL SNAP per 10 Liters of water +100 mL Vermitea per 10 Liters of water; and Treatment 4 – 12.5 mL SNAP per 10 Liters of water +50 ml Vermitea per 10 Liters of water.
The following parameter was gathered: Plant Height at 15 and 30 Days after Transplanting, Length of Leaves at 15 and 30 Days after Transplanting, Width of Leaves at 15 and 30 Days after Transplanting and Average Weight per Plant.
Result showed that the application of vermitea and nutrient solution under non circulating hydroponic system has significant effects on the Plant height at 15 and 30 Days after Transplanting, Length of Leaves at 15 and 30 Days after Transplanting, Width of Leaves at 30 Days after Transplanting and Average weight per Plant while there was no significant effect on the Width of leaves ast 15 Days after Transplanting
