PERFORMANCE OF PECHAY (Brassica rapa, L.) REGROWTH UNDER DIFFERENT SOIL MEDIA COMBINATION

The study was entitled “Performance of Pechay (Brassica rap, L.) Regrowth Under Different Soil Media Combination'' was conducted at Asuncion Village Cannery Site, Polomolok, South Cotabato from January 12 to March 3 of the year 2019 where the weather and the location site of the experiment was favorable for experimentation. The study was a potted experiment and carried out on a two-factor factorial experiment in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments and five replications. The study used different soil media combination as follows: T1 Control (Garden Soil), T2 Clay Loam + Vermicast + Compost, T3 Silty Loam + Vermicast + Compost, T4 Sandy Loam + Vermicast + Compost and T5 Garden Soil + Vermicast + Compost. The study disclosed a result of highly significant difference in the plant's height, length of the petioles, total number of leaves and yield for the regrowth of the pechay as affected by the different soil media combination. For the first growth of pechay, it showed that it was not significant for the plant's height, length of petioles, number of leaves and yield. However, pechay plants have the ability to regrow at different soil media combinations. It also revealed that there was no interaction effect for the plant's height, length of the petioles, number of leaves and yield as affected by the different soil media combination. Thus, It also showed that the pechay (Brassica rapa. L.) has the ability to regrowth and perform well in its regrowth under different soil media combinations even though subjected to the so called injury which is cutting.
