“Foliar Spraying of Urea" (45-0-0) on Mustard" was conducted at the experimental field of the Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite from January to February 1883 to determine the optimum rate of foliar fertilizer that would give the best result.
A 200 square meter field was plowed and harrowed two times at an interval of one week. Chinese variety of mustard was used in the study.
A randomized complete block design was used in the experiment with different concentration of urea fertilizer as spray. The following treatments used were :
T-1( no fertilizer applied), t-2 (2 tablespoonfuls of urea fertilizer per gallon of water}, T-3 (4 tablespoonfuls of urea fertilizer per gallon of water), T-4 (6 tablespoonfuls of urea fertilizer per gallon of water) and T-5 (8 tablespoonfuls of urea per gallon of water).
Plants sprayed with 2 tablespoonfuls of urea fertilizer per gallon of water (Treatment 2) produced the highest average height, weight, number of leaves per plant and computed yield per hectare. However, Treatments 3,4 and 5 also produced good results.
Aphids and cutworms were the pests observed attacking the leaves of fleshy parts of mustard plants; however, damage to crops was insignificant.
