Effect Of Method Of Placement And Rate Of Leucaena Leaves Application On Taro

Joselito A. Payot | Sergio E. Abit | Luvimin A. Evangelio

Abstract:

Depth of placement of ipil-ipil herbage failed to give significant effect on all agronomic and yield characters of upland taro. However, rates of fertilizer application significantly influenced the parameters tested. In general, the agronomic and yield parameters increased with an increase in ipil-ipil herbage application except for non-marketable corms. Notable differences were observed between the unfertilized and ipil-ipil treated plants.
