EFFECT OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF FERMENTED BANANA PEELS EGGSHELLS AND COFFEE AS FOLIAR FERTILIZER ON GREEN ONION (Allium fistulosum L)

The field study was conducted at Mindanao State University. General Santos City, Agronomy Thesis Area, from November to January, 2019, to investigate the effect of different levels of fermented banana peels, eggshells and coffee as a foliar fertilizer on the growth and yield performance of green onion Specifically. It aims to determine which are the most effective levels of concentration on growth and yield performance of green onion. This study used a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with five (5) treatments and replicated three (3) times, The treatments were as follows TI - Control (No application); T2-5% concentration of foliar application, T3- 10% concentration of foliar application: T4-15% levels of foliar application, T5- Synthetic fertilizer (450-0) (30-0-0 kg of NPK/ha). The study was conducted from November to January 2019. Results disclosed that application of Fermented banana peels, ce shells and coffee had no significant effect across treatment on the plant Weight number of leaves, number of tillers, and yield (tons/ha) of green onion but highly significant effect in the height of green onion. However, T5 (30-0-0 kpha of NPK of Urea fertilizer) showed comparable result with the T4 (15% concentration of fermented foliar) and T2 (5% concentration of fermented foliar) in all the parameters tested
