PERFORMANCE OF PECHAY Bronka rom L) UNDER DXPERENT CONCENTRATION OF FERMENTED SEAWERS SW) SOLUTION IN HYDROPONIC CULTURE

Hydroponics offers many advantages for commercial agriculture. Cultivating plants without soil eliminates the need for vast farmland and allows crops to be produced in greenhouses or even in the desert sands. Hydroponic techniques also allow for precise water and nutrient application directly to the roots of each plant. Plants may be grown directly in the nutrient solution or in any medium; such as sand, gravel, perlite, rock wool, and coco coir to which the solution has been added. This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of Pechay (Brassica rapa L.) under different concentrations of Fermented Seaweeds (FSW) Solution in Hydroponic Culture from December 2018 to February 2019. The Experiment was carried out using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 60" x 40” styro box which was replicated three times. Different levels of Fermented Seaweeds Solution were used in this study such as; Ti - Control (Pure Water), T2 - 20ml, T3 - 40ml and T4 - 60ml respectively. The result of the study revealed no significant effect of FSW solution on the performance of Pechay (Brassica rapa L.) under different concentrations. The result suggests that FSW solution for hydroponic culture of pechay is not appropriate to promote optimum yield.
