Performance of green onion leaves (Allium fistulosum L.) as affected by fermented kuhol

Abstract

This study was conducted at the residence of the researcher at San Antonio, Pilar, Capiz, from February to May 2023 to evaluate the Performance of Green Onion Leaves (Allium fistulosum L.) As Affected by Fermented Kuhol. This study was conducted with the following objectives: 1.) To Evaluate the Growth performance in terms of plant height, number of leaves, number of tillers at 20, 30, 40, and 50 days after planting. 2.) To determine the yield performance of green onion as affected by Fermented Kuhol in terms of the following: Number of marketable and non-marketable leaves of green onion per sample plot, and weight of green onion leaves per sample plot and to determine the return on investment. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) and replicated three times. The treatment as follows: Treatment A – Control, Treatment B – 25 ml FK+ 2LH₂O, Treatment C – 35ml FK+2LH₂O Treatment D – 45 ml FK+2LH₂O. The data were statistically analyzed using Analysis of Variance at 5% and 1% alpha level of significance. The result of the experiment revealed that the number of tillers was significantly different terms of number of tillers at 30 days after planting. This study also revealed that organic fertilizer, nutrients, varietal selection, soil quality, water, and weather condition are the other factors that affected the growth and yield performance of green onions.
