GUEVARRA, JINKY F., Applied Research IV (Agri- Science Curriculum) Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, “ Growth and Flowering Response of Potted Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) as Affected by Pinching of Lateral Buds and Different Fertilizers Under Greenhouse Conditions”. Adviser: Prof. Estrellita E. Morena
This research study entitled “ Growth and Flowering Response of Potted Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) as Affected by Pinching of Lateral Buds and Different Fertilizers Under Greenhouse Conditions” was conducted at the Crop Science Department of Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite from May 1, 1996 to November 1, 1995. This study was conducted to: 1) evaluate the growth and flowering response of potted chrysanthemum as affected by pinching of lateral buds under the greenhouse conditions; 2) determine which degree of pinching is best to apply on potted chrysanthemum in inducing its growth and flowering development; 3) evaluate the growth and flowering response of potted chrysanthemum as affected by the application of fertilizer under greenhouse conditions; and 4) determine which form of fertilizer is best suited in the production of good quality chrysanthemum.
A total of one hundred twenty (120) chrysanthemum rooted stem cuttings of Taiwan Yellow Variety purchased from the Crop Science Department of the Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite were arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) for a two factor -factorial experiment composed of four replications. The treatments used in the study were: Factor A - degrees of pinching of lateral buds - P1- where three lateral buds where unpinched and P2- where 5 lateral buds unpinched. Factor B - application of different fertilizers TO Control ( Granular Complete Fertilizer 14-14-14), T 4. Chicken Manure Tea, T2 Hog manure Tea, T3 Horse manure Tea and T4 - Albatros Foliar Fertilizer (18- 18-18).
The study revealed that Albatros Foliar Fertilizer (18-18-18) was the best treatment for chrysanthemum plants with respect to the number of flower produced per plant, number of days from planting to flower bud formation, diameter of flowers and lengthof stalks. On the other hand, granular complete fertilizer (14-14-14) revealed to be the poorest.
Significant results were obtained from the application of fertilizer with regards to average number of flower produced per plant, and average number of flowers. A highly significant result was obtained from the average length of stalk.
A significant result was also obtained from the pinching of the lateral bud with regard to the average length of stalk. However, insignificant results were obtained from other parameters included in the study.
The interaction effect between the two factors - pinching of lateral buds and application of different fertilizers - showed significant results in all the parameters used.
