Abstract: ROSEL, MA. LEA G. Growth and Yield Performance of Tomato and Three Leafy Vegetables in the Intercrop and Monocrop Systems. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in Farming Systems. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2003. Adviser: Dr Simeon S. Crucido. The growth and yield performance of tomato and three leafy vegetables in the intercrop and monocrop systems was evaluated at Sitio Calo, Kaylaway, Nasugbu, Batangas from October 2002 to February 2003. The study aimed to determine the growth and yield performance of tomato, pechay, mustard, and lettuce in the intercrop and monocrop systems. Four treatments were used for tomato while six treatments were used for leafy vegetables. Each of the treatments for all crops was replicated three times. Transplanting of tomato and the three leafy vegetables (pechay, mustard, and lettuce) was done October 19, 2002, at a distance of 50 cm x 50 cm for intercropped and monocropped, 10 cm x 10 cm for leafy vegetables in the monocrop and 15 cm x 15 cm as intercrop with tomato. Based on the results of the study, rapid growth was observed in the treatment where tomato was planted alone (T1) and stunted growth and yellowing of leaves was observed in the treatment where tomato was intercropped with the leafy vegetables. During the early vegetative phase, the three leafy vegetables (pechay, mustard and lettuce), were uniform in growth and vigor. However, five days after transplanting, marked differences were noticed in all treatments. The results revealed that tomato intercropped with different leafy vegetables produced more fruits. It was noted that intercropping tomato with leafy vegetables did not affect the yield as to the tomato fruits produced per plant and harvested leafy vegetables. No significant differences was observed on the number of days from transplanting to flowering, flowering to fruit setting, fruit setting to maturity, plant height, number of branches per plant, number of fruits per plant, weight of non- marketable fruits, in all cropping combinations. A significant difference on the average weight of marketable fruits per plant was noted. Average weight per plant, number of plants per kilogram and average of plant per plot of leafy vegetables was likewise significantly different. vii

The study aimed to determine the growth and yield performance of tomato, pechay, mustard, and lettuce in the intercrop and monocrop systems. Four treatments were used for tomato while six treatments were used for leafy vegetables.

Each of the treatments for all crops was replicated three times. Transplanting of tomato and the three leafy vegetables (pechay, mustard, and lettuce) was done October 19, 2002, at a distance of 50 cm x 50 cm for intercropped and monocropped, 10 cm x 10 cm for leafy vegetables in the monocrop and 15 cm x 15 cm as intercrop with tomato. Based on the results of the study, rapid growth was observed in the treatment where tomato was planted alone (T1) and stunted growth and yellowing of leaves was observed in the treatment where tomato was intercropped with the leafy vegetables. During the early vegetative phase, the three leafy vegetables (pechay, mustard and lettuce), were uniform in growth and vigor.

However, five days after transplanting, marked differences were noticed in all treatments. The results revealed that tomato intercropped with different leafy vegetables produced more fruits.
