GROWTH AND YIELD PERFORMANCE OF HOT PEPPER (Capsicum frutescens) FERTILIZED WITH FERMENTED PLANT MATERIALS
Modern Agriculture
• largely depends on chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides resulted in increased production but adversely affected soil productivity and
environmental quality
• continuous application of the chemical fertilizer cause soil acidity
• the applied nutrients just adhere on the soil and thus could not be absorbed by
the roots of the plants
• these fertilizers are also expensive which resulted to higher cost of production
that could not compensate by the crop yield
Fermented plant juice as foliar fertilizers
Locally available plant sources
Madre cacao
(Gliricidia sepium) Wedelia
(Wedelia trilobata) Acacia
(Acacia seyal) Santing
(Colopogonium muconoides)
Independent Variable Dependent Variable
Pinatubo variety (59.21cm) is much taller than the height of Red Hot variety (58.92cm) at 90 days after transplanting.

earlier than red hot variety.

Red Hot variety had a higher number of days from fruiting to harvesting compared to
Pinatubo variety. Plants fertilized with Banana Pseudo Stem + Santing Leaves took
longer time on fruits to become matured resulting in late harvest.

The yield performance showed no significant difference on varieties and fertilizer in terms of number of fruits per plant, weight of fruits per plant, yield per hectare in kilograms, and net income in pesos per hectare.
No significant difference on variety in terms of number of branches but noted its significant difference on fertilizer. Unlike the length of fruits that revealed a significant difference on variety but not in fertilizer.
There is an interaction effect in terms of number of branches, number of fruits per plant, weight of fruits per plant, and computed yield per hectare in kilograms compared than the rest of the parameters that showed no interaction effect.
Pinatubo variety showed better growth and yield performance compared to Red Hot variety. Banana Pseudo Stem + Wedelia Leaves as fermented foliar fertilizer was noted in high performance than the rest of all treatments.
Conclusions
There are no significant differences among the growth and yield performance of
two varieties of hot pepper.
The growth performance of hot pepper was not affected by varieties and fertilizer in
terms of plant height, number of days from flowering to fruiting, and number of days
from fruiting to harvesting. These parameters also showed no interaction effect.
Number of days from transplanting to flowering and stem girth per plant revealed
significant difference on varieties and fertilizer.
Recommendations
Given that growth and yield performance of hot pepper were
significantly affected by varieties and fertilizer in terms of the number of
days from transplanting to flowering and stem girth per plant, the use of
Pinatubo variety and application of Banana Pseudo Stem + Madre
Cacao Leaves is being recommended.
The use of Madre Cacao (Gliricidia sepium) Leaves as fermented foliar
fertilizer has a long term effect thus its utilization should be continually
evaluated.
Since the study was done in the dry season, it is suggested to undertake
the experiment during the rainy season.
Replication of the same study in other areas and field is also recommended
to the following: to future researchers as their guide in doing research; to
students of related courses as reference and source of information; and to
educators and others with concern on this study.
