Masicap, Marlene D. Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, April 1989, "Response of IR-64 to Different Foliar Fertilizer." Mr. Celso Nuestro (Thesis Adviser).
The study was conducted in a 372 square meter field in Palangue II, Male, Cavite from July to October 1988. The study aims to investigate the growth and yield of IR-64 with the application of foliar fertilizer and to identify which foliar spray fertilizer increase grain yield. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was used in the study. It was composed of four treatments and four replications. The treatments used were as follows: Treat-ment I (untreated), Treatment 2 (albatros, 1 tablespoonful per liter of water), Treatment 3 (Miracle booster, 2-3 tablespoonful per gallon of water) and Treatment 4 (ethrel, 2-3 tablespoonful per 16 liters of water), respectively. The findings showed that application of miracle booster (Treatment 3) differ significantly from other treat-ments in terms of number of filled grains per panicle, grain yield, hundred-grain weight and computed yield per hectare. However, Treatment 4 (ethrel) produced the highest number of panicles per hill. The high panicle is a desirable parameter since this could compensate for missing hills, although excessive number of panicles may cause lodging and poor filling of grains because of intensive mutual shading.
