COCHING, CAESAR LOUIS ZION O., MARASIGAN, GABRIELLE ANGELO C. and NAPILA, KARLO JAMES S. Cultivation of Sweet Corn (Zea Mays var. Saccharata) Using Urine as Mineral Fertilizer. Research Study. Cavite State University — Science High School (General Science Curriculum), College of Education, April 2015 Adviser: Dr. Arnulfo C. Pascual.
The growth of sweet corn using different treatments was evaluated after transplanting the plants to a soil-mix of fine sand, compost and ordinary garden soil placed in polyethylene plastic bags. The study was conducted in Cavite State University’s greenhouse in Indang, Cavite from October 2014 to January 2015. It aimed to determine the effects of urine as mineral fertilizer to the growth of the sweet complant in terms of height, stem diameter, and total biomass weight. Determine the effects of urine as mineral fertilizer to the fruit of the sweet corn plants in terms of weight and number of marketable com ears, and; to compare the yield of the sweet corn plants treated with urine as mineral fertilizer to the number of fruits harvested following farmers’ traditional practice.
Using a randomized complete block design (RCBD), a simple pot experiment with five treatments replicated five times was used in the study. Treatment 0 contained pure water and was labelled as the benchmark. Treatment 1 contained Sml urine and 100m! water, Treatment 2 had 10ml urine and 100ml water, and Treatment 3 had 15ml urine and 100m! water. Lastly, Treatment 4 (labelled as Farmer’s Practice), held 15g complete fertilizer (14-14-14). Plant height, stem diameter, total biomass weight, weight of corn ears, and number of marketable goods were the parameters evaluated.
The core plants grown in T, grew highest (x=70.24 inches) while plants grown in T3 registered the widest stem diameter (20.90mm). Meanwhile, T, and T2 produced the
heaviest biomass at 30 kilograms. Again, T3 performed better in terms of weight of com ears with 105 grams and with the most number in marketable goods of eight pieces.
