Abstract: The study, "Response of Sweet Potato to Different Hill Preparations", was conducted at _ the experimental field of the Research Project, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite from April 1984 to October 1984, with the main objective of determining the effect of different hill preparations on the production of sweet potato and on the incidence of pests and diseases. The 150 square meter land was plowed and harrowed two times at weekly interval to provide the plants a condition favorable for their growth and development. The area was divided into three equal blocks for the replications. Each block was further subdivided into five plots to constitute the different treatments. There were five treatments distributed at random following a Randomized Complete Block Design. Plants which gave the longest and heaviest vines were observed in Treatments 2 and 4, respectively. But statistics showed non-significant result. The treatments gave highly significant results in terms of the number and weight of marketable tubers produced by the plants. It further revealed that of all the treatments used, treatment 3 (planting in ridge) produced the highest number of tubers, the heaviest tubers, and the highest computed yield of sweet potato in kilograms per hectare. It also revealed that excess water supply made the plant more susceptible to pests particularly weevil. But only slight damage was observed from plants in all treatments. There were no diseases observed in all treated plants.

There were five treatments distributed at random following a Randomized Complete Block Design.

Plants which gave the longest and heaviest vines were observed in Treatments 2 and 4, respectively. But statistics showed non-significant result.

The treatments gave highly significant results in terms of the number and weight of marketable tubers produced by the plants.

It further revealed that of all the treatments used, treatment 3 (planting in ridge) produced the highest number of tubers, the heaviest tubers, and the highest computed yield of sweet potato in kilograms per hectare.

It also revealed that excess water supply made the plant more susceptible to pests particularly weevil. But only slight damage was observed from plants in all treatments.
