A study, "Productivity of Watermelon After Rice as Affected by Compost from Sugarcane Bagasse", was conducted from November 3, 1997 to February 1, 1998 at a 400 square meter field in Haba, Nasugbu, Batangas. It aimed to determine the productivity of watermelon after rice as affected by compost from sugarcane bagasse, to determine the yield responses of watermelon variety Sugar Baby to different levels of compost from sugarcane bagasse and to analyze the cost and return for one hectare watermelon production as affected by compost from sugarcane bagasse.
Results showed that watermelon, variety Sugar Baby, supplied with different levels of compost from sugarcane bagasse had similar performance with the Control 1, Treatment 0 (no compost from sugarcane bagasse, no complete fertilizer) and Control 2, Treatment I (no compost from sugarcane bagasse but with complete fertilizer) in terms of time to flowering, time to fruit set, fruit diameter and weight of fruits.
The levels of compost from sugarcane bagasse, Treatments 2 to 5 and Treatment I (no compost from sugarcane bagasse but with complete fertilizer) had comparable affects on the number of fruits per plant but were found significantly higher than that of Control l , Treatment 0 (P < 0.05).
The computed gross income were similar among the treatments involving the use of compost from sugarcane bagasse (Treatments 2 to 5) and that of Control 2,

Treatment 1 but were significantly different from the gross income derive from the Control I, Treatment 0. Control 1, Treatment 0 had a gross income of P208,333.00 while Treatment 2 and Treatment 5 had P375,000.00 and P416,667.00, respectively. The pattern for computed net income was similar to the gross income with Control 1, Treatment 0 giving P85,458.00 which was significantly lower than P 246,818.00 for Control 2, Treatment I and P287,316.00 for treatment 5 (4 tons of compost from sugarcane bagasse).
The return on investment (ROI - %) followed a pattern to gross income and net income.
