EFFECT OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF FERMENTED FISH AMINO ACID ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF OKRA (Abelmoschus esculentus L.)

This field experiment was conducted at the College of Agriculture, Mindanao State University Campus, Fatima, General Santos City from September to November 2018, This was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of fermented fish amino acid as a foliar fertilizer on the growth and yield of okra, Specifically, it aims to determine which is the most effective level of FFAA on growth and yield of okra. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was used in the study with four treatments replicated three times. The treatments consisted of the following: TI Control (90-60-60 NPK): T2-5% of FFAA 130-30-30 NPK: T3 - 10% of FFMA 30-30-30 NPK; T4 - 15% of FFAA 30-30-30 NPK. Result disclosed that application of Fermented Fish Amino Acid had no significant effect across treatment on the growth and yield of okra. However T. (10% FFAA+30-30-30) showed comparable results with the control (T, 90-60-60 NPK) in all the parameters tested. This seemed to imply that Fermented Fish Amino Acid can be a good substitute for inorganic fertilizer in this particular study.
