This study sought to determine the effect of different levels of EM-Compost on the growth and yield of broccoli. This study was undertaken from November 2004 to February 2005 at J. Dimabiling, Barangay IV, Indang, Cavite.
A total of sixty-three square meter land was used in the study, which was divided into 4 treatments which were subdivided in 3 replications. The treatments were as follows: TO-no application of EM-Compost, Tl-l kg. of EM-Compost, t2-2kg. of EM Compost, T3-3kg. of EM-Compost per square meter.
After 3 months of planting, harvesting was done and the average number of leaves per treatment, average height of plant per treatment, number of marketable broccoli curd per treatment, number of non-marketable broccoli curd per treatment, average weight of marketable broccoli curd per treatment, average weight of non marketable broccoli curd per treatment.
The experimental design employed was randomized complete block design, replicated 3 times.
On the result of the study, the researcher revealed that T2 (2kg. of EM-Compost per square meter) produced firm and good quality of broccoli curd and it gave the highest number of marketable broccoli curd per treatment. It also produces the highest number of leaves, average increase in height, and yield. Based on the results of the study, the following recommendations are herewith made: First, 2kgs. of EM-Compost per square meter should be used by farmers to produce firm and good quality of broccoli curd; Second, the use of EM-Compost should be further commercialized in the local market; Third, further study should be conducted using the same organic fertilizer but on other crops; Fourth, further investigation should be done using the same organic fertilizer, on the same crop, but on a different location
