Abstract: SESE, JEFERSON L., APPLIED RESEARCH IV (Agricultural Science Curriculum); Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, March, 1994. “Influence of Varying Levels of Coffee Pulp and Coconut Husk in the Growth of Anthurium (Anthurium andreanum)”. Adviser: Prof. C. A. Capalad This study, “Influence of Varying Levels of Coffee Pulp and Coconut Husk in the Growth of Anthurium (Anthurium andreanum)” was conducted from May 18, 1993 to October 20, 1993 at Indang, Cavite to determine the influence of varying levels of coffee pulp and coconut husk on the growth of anthurium. This study also aimed to determine the level of coffee pulp best suited for the growth of anthurium. Sixty pots planted with anthurium suckers were arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with five treatments replicated three times. The following are the treatments used: Treatment 1 - 100% coconut husk, Treatment 2 - 75% coconut husk and 25% coffee pulp, Treatment 3 - 50% coconut husk and 50% coffee pulp, Treatment 4 - 25% coconut husk and 75% coffee pulp, Treatment 5 100% coffee pulp. The ratio of coconut husk to coffee pulp was measured by weight. Varying levels of coffee pulp have a significant effect on the length of leaf and the diameter of leaf stalk of the anthurium plants. Treatment 3 (50% coconut husk and 50% coffee pulp) obtained longer and more leaves, bigger diameter of leaf stalk and more suckers. Treatment 2 (752% coconut husk and 25% coffee pulp) obtained the number of days from planting to shoot formation, while Treatment 1 (100% coconut husk) produced higher plants. Treatment 3 (50% coconut husk and 50% coffee pulp) dave the most number of flowers. Best results were obtained from Treatment 3 (50% coconut husk and 50% coffee pulp) in terms of the number of leaves, length of leaves, diameter of leaf stalk and number of suckers produced. This level of coffee pulp is recommended by the author in growing anthurium. A study concerning the combination of the coffee pulp with other medium for growing anthurium was further recommended.

The ratio of coconut husk to coffee pulp was measured by weight.

Varying levels of coffee pulp have a significant effect on the length of leaf and the diameter of leaf stalk of the anthurium plants. Treatment 3 (50% coconut husk and 50% coffee pulp) obtained longer and more leaves, bigger diameter of leaf stalk and more suckers. Treatment 2 (752% coconut husk and 25% coffee pulp) obtained the number of days from planting to shoot formation, while Treatment 1 (100% coconut husk) produced higher plants. Treatment 3 (50% coconut husk and 50% coffee pulp) dave the most number of flowers.

Best results were obtained from Treatment 3 (50% coconut husk and 50% coffee pulp) in terms of the number of leaves, length of leaves, diameter of leaf stalk and number of suckers produced. This level of coffee pulp is recommended by the author in growing anthurium. A study concerning the combination of the coffee pulp with other medium for growing anthurium was further recommended.
