THE EFFECTS OF FULL HARVEST MICROBIAL SOIL INOCULANT AND VERMICAST ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF RADISH (Raphanus sativus L.)

The expirement was conducted at Mindanao State University, College of Agriculture, Fatima, General Santos City from November 18 to December 28 year of 2017 in order to determine the growth and yield of radish as affected by full harvest mircrobial soil inoculants and vermicast. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used in this study with five treatments replicated three times. The treatments used were as follows T1 -control (60-30-30 NPK/ha); T2 -vermicast 8t/ha; T3 -full harvest mircobial inoculants + 30-30-30 NPK/ha; T4 -full harvest mircobial inoculants + vermicast 4t/ha; and T5- full harvest mircobial inoculants alone at 3kg/ha. Results of the study disclosed that the plant height, root length and root yield were all significant by affected treatments. Against the control, the application and combination of Full Harvest microbial inoculants and vermicast showed better results. However, the combination of Full Harvest microbial inoculants and synthetic fertilizer did not show the same results along with other treatments.
