| dc.description.abstract | A field study was conducted to determine the influence of organic fertilizer with and without supplement of organic foliar fertilizer in the production of organic finger pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.). The treatments used were: Factor A- Levels of organic fertilizer (0 kg OF/4 m2 and 6 kg OF/4 m2 plot) and Factor B- Organic foliar fertilizer (OFF) supplement (with and without). The study was arranged in a 4 x 2 factorial experiment in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Results of the study revealed that finger pepper plants fertilized with 6 kg OF /4 m2 plot with and without supplement of OFF significantly produced higher number of fruiting branches (11.00) at last harvesting with more number of fruits per plant resulted to higher marketable fruit yield per plot (205.84 g) and per hectare (0.52 t ha-1) with higher total soluble solid (TSS). However, finger pepper plants supplemented with OFF regardless of the amount of OF applied significantly produce more number of fruits per plant with higher marketable fruit yield per plot (207.29 g) which was 133% higher than 155.84 g obtained from plants without OFF suplement. On the other hand, the number of days to flower and first harvesting, height of plant at flowering as well as the length and diameter of fruit, leaf chlorophyll content and shelf life of harvested fruits. | |
