Penales, Benjamin Do, Applied Research IV (Agri— cultural Science Curriculum), School of Education, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, March, 199u, "Growth of Asparagus as Affected by Different Soil Media." Adviser: Mrs. Elma Alcantara
The study "Growth of Asparagus as Affected by Different Soil Median was conducted at Buna Cerca, Indang, Cavite from June to December 1993 to know the effect of different soil media in the growth of asparagus and to determine which soil medium will give better effect on the growth of asparagus 0
A total of 60 asparagus seedlings were used in the experiment and were arranged in an experimental lot using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with five treatments and three I applications The treatments were T (1/3 garden soil + 1/3 sand + 1/3 chicken manure); TI ( 1/3 gar— den soil + 1/3 sand + 1/3 rice hull); T2 (1/3 garden soil + 1/3 coffee pulp + 1/3 sand); T3 (IE garden soil + rice hull); and Tu garden soil + coffee pulp)
Highly significant results were obtained on the number of leaves per treatment and number of days from planting to shoot formation but insignificant results Were obtained in the diameter of the stem, height, and number of shoots of the plant. In general, plants grown in 1/3 garden soil + 1/3 sand + 1/3 coffee pulp gave better performance 0 T (2E garden soil + rice hull) had the highest number of shoots
