Abstract:
The study entitled Growth Performance of Sweet Pepper (Capsicum annum Linn) As affected by the application of biogrow and levels of sheep manure was conducted from October 20, 2008 to February 3, 2009 at the experimental area of JRMSC- Katipunan Campus, Sanao Extension, Sanao, Katipunan Zamboanga del Norte. It aimed to determine the effects of biogrow and different levels of sheep manure on the growth performance of sweet pepper as well as the suitability during off season. 250 sq. m was used in the study which is divided into 3 blocks and futher subdivided into subplots with a dimention of 2 m x 2 m . The experimental treatment are control (T1), inorganic fertilizer (T2), biogrow (T3), 2 tons/ha to 6 tons/ha of sheep manure (T4, T5, T6) and 2 tons/ha to 6 tons/ha of sheep manure + biogrow (T7, T8, T9).??
Objectives:
It aimed to determine the effects of biogrow and different levels of sheep manure on the growth performance of sweet pepper as well as the suitability during off season.
Methods:
Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD)
Findings and Results:
1. Sweet pepper was significantly affected by the levels of sheep manure particularly the height 45 days after transplanting, 60 days after transplanting and the number of branches. On the other hand, levels of sheep manure, biogrow and inorganic fertilizer did not show significantly affect on the number of days to flower and the height of seedling 15 days after transplanting and 45 days after planting. 2. Unfavorable wether condition such as frequent rain during the entire conduct of the study posed problems particularly on the growth performance of sweet pepper.
Conclusion:
The result of the study shows that the sheep manure, inorganic and biogrow significantly affect the number of branches and height of sweet pepper 45 DAT and 60 DAT. Among the levels of sheep manure, only T5 and T6 gave a very significant effect over other treatment. Almost the same result was observed as to the number of branches on all treatments except biogrow could enhance the growth performance of sweet pepper.
