The study entitled "Growth of Vanda Orchid as Affected by Tea from Trichoderma-Treated Compost and Different Manure Tea" was conducted to find out the effect of the different liquid organic fertilizers or tea to vanda orchid; and to determine which among the liquid organic fertilizers or tea will best enhance the growth of vanda orchid,
The study made use of the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with the different kinds of liquid organic fertilizers or tea as the experimental plot. There were four treatments including the control, replicated threes times, The orchid were fertilized with the different treatments namely: (a) Ti - Control; (b) T= - Chicken Tea Manure; Cc) T= - Horse Tea Manure; and (d) T, - Tea from Trichoderma - Treated Compost.
Results showed that T4 (Tea from Trichoderma Treated Compost) is the best treatment in fertilizing vanda orchids because taller plants with more roots and leaves, and more elongated leaves were obtained from this treatment. This can be attributed to the substantial amount of nutrients it contains. It was followed by Tz (Chicken Tea Manure), then Tx (Horse Tea Manure). The least effective treatment is T: (Control) because it produces Plants with poor growth.
