Growth and yield performance of lettuce (Lactuca Sativa L.) fertilized with varying levels of compost

AbstractThis study was conducted to determine the growth and yield performance of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) with varying levels of compost. This was conducted inside the campus of Tacloban National Agricultural School, Basper, Tacloban City. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) for a single factor experiment with six (6) treatments and three (3) replications were set in this study. These are as follows: T0 (complete check), T1 (100% chicken manure) T2 (75% chicken manure and 25% compost), T3 (50% chicken manure and 50% compost), T4 (25% chicken manure and 75% compost) and T5 (100% compost). Results showed that significant deviations in the plant height of lettuce was significantly affected at 10, 20 and 30 days from transplanting. On the other hand, significant differences were noted on the width of leaves as well as length of leaves after 20 and 30 days from transplanting. Further, a significant difference in the number of leaves was detected only after 30 days from transplanting. Yield was significantly affected due to variations in the amount of chicken manure and compost. It is interesting to note that yield of lettuce with 100% compost was comparable to the plots receiving 100% chicken manure. Keywordslettuce; growth and yield; randomized complete; block design
