Abstract: CAISIP, JHON VINCENT C. and MARES, EZER B. Effects of Organic Liquid Fertilizers on the Performance of Coffee Seedlings. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (Major in Crop Science).Cavite State University, Indang Cavite. April 2015 Adviser: Ruel M. Mojica, PhD. The experiment was conducted at the National Coffee Research Development and Extension Center (NCRDEC) coffee nursery of the Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite to determine the effects of organic liquid fertilizers on the performance coffee seedlings. Specifically, the study aimed to evaluate the performance of coffee seedlings applied with different liquid fertilizers in terms of height, number of leaves, diameter of stem, number of days to form new leaves, initial and final root length and percentage survival; to determine the production cost of each liquid fertilizer; and to determine the chemical properties of each organic liquid fertilizer. The experiment was a single factor experiment in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with coffee species (Robusta and liberica) as the blocking factor. The treatments tested, T1 - water, T2 — urea, T3 — vermicomposting tea, T4 - Fermented Plant Juice, and T5 "Living Soil" tea, were replicated ten times. The data were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Treatment means which produce significant results were compared using Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Significant differences were observed in terms of height increment of coffee seedlings applied with different organic liquid fertilizers on the third mouth of the study. Application of water gave the highest mean of 2.14 cm white the application of urea gave the lowest mean of 1.22 cm. However, non-significant differences among the application of different organic liquid fertilizers were observed in terms of plant height, number of leaves, diameter of stein, and number of days to form new leaves, root length, percentage survival, and diameter increment. Application of organic liquid fertilizers such as vermicomposting tea, Fermented Plant Juice and" Living Soil" tea does not significantly enhance the height, number of leaves, diameter of stem, number of days to form new leaves, root length, percentage survival and diameter increment of coffee seedlings. Organic liquid fertilizers have higher production cost compared to farmer's practice of applying urea as liquid fertilizer for coffee seedlings. Organic liquid fertilizers have low N, P, K. and other nutrient contents. In addition, they have low pH.
