The study on the effect of complete fertilizer on the growth and yield of mongo was conducted from August 25 to November 4, 1976 at Calumpang Cerca, Indang, Cavite.

‘The study aimed to determine the right amount of complete fertilizer to apply on mongo. Land preparation was done by plowing and harrowing the field three times at an interval of one to two weeks to allow weedseeds to germinate and other trashes to decay.

The last plowing was followed by harrowing to ensure the” The area was divided into five blocks and further subdivided into 25 plots. There were five replications; one control and four treatments which were distributed at random throughout the entire field.

Planting was done on August 25 by broadcasting tho basal fertilizer throughout the plantation with different amounts of complete fertilizer (14—14—14) ranging from one hundred to four hundred kilograms on four treatments, The | control has no fertiliser application. The seeds were broadcasted evenly throughout the field at the rate of 20 kilograms per hectare and covered with fine soil. Seeds. started to germinate four to six days after planting.

Occasional weeding was done to kill the weeds as they appeared on the plantation and at the same time to | provide aeration to the crops. Subsequent handpulling of the weeds was also done to lessen competition of plant food elements.

There were pests and diseases observed in the plantation. Aphids-and-leaf blight were noticed in the experimental farm but the damage done was negligible.

Harvesting was done on November 1, 1976, sixty seven days after planting. a

Based on the result of the study, with the increase in fertilizer the percentage yield also increased but the fertilizer applied should not exceed the amount of 400 kilograms per hectare.
