Abstract: NAPILA, KARIS JIREH S., MATEL, MARK RUZZEL S., and CORTEZ, JOHN LESTER D. Growth of Green Pak Choi (Brassica chinensis) in Vermicast Enriched Growing Media. Cavite State University - Science High School. April 2009. Adviser: Dr. Adolfo C. Manuel, Jr. The growth of green pak choi (Brassica chinensis) in vermicast enriched growing media was evaluated at 699 De Ocampo St., Brgy. IV, Indang, Cavite from January to February 2009. Specifically, the study aimed to determine the growth of green pak choi in varying levels of vermicast; identify the vermicast level that can best enhance the growth of green pak choi; and compute the cost and return of growing green pak choi in varying levels of vermicast. The study evaluated four treatments with five replications in each: Treatment 0 (pure barren/infertile soil); Treatment 1 (25% vermicast and 75% ban-en/infertile soil); Treatment 2 (50% vermicast and 50% barren/infertile soil); Treatment 3 (75% vermicast and 25% barren/infertile soil). The experimental design used was the Complete Randomized Design (CRD). The infertile soil used in this study was analyzed at the Bureau of Soils and Water Management in Diliman, Quezon City. After a month of planting, harvesting was done. The number of leaves, number of roots, plant height from the soil and from the tip of the longest root, length of the longest leaf, and the length of the longest root were measured every week while the final weight and percentage of survival were obtained during harvest. Pak choi grown in T3 (75% vermicast and 25% pure infertile soil) produced the highest marketable yield. It also produced the highest number of roots, longest length of the plant from the soil, longest length of the plant from the tip of the longest root, longest length of the leaf, longest length of the root, and the heaviest weight of the crops. T3 produced the heaviest mean weight of the harvested green pak choi with 3.2 kg, followed by T1, T2 and having means of 2.8, 2.5, and 1.25 kg, respectively. The total mean weight of the products is 9.75 kg, which was sold for Php 40/kg. Therefore, TO, T1, T2 and T3 produced the gross return of Php50, Php112, Php100, and Php114, respectively. But the expenses on each treatment were as follows Php30, Php55, Php80, and Php105. Therefore, the treatments produce the net return of Php20, Php57, Php20, and Php9, respectively. The cost and return analysis indicated that T1 had the highest return on investment (ROI).
