Abstract :
The experiment was conducted at the College
of Agriculture- Laboratory, Mindanao State UniversityMarawi City. Objective of the study is to determine the
effects of Oriental Herbal Nutrients (OHN) on the
growth and yield performance of lettuce. Treatments
are: T1 (Garlic), T2 (Ginger), T3 (Black Pepper), T4
(Onion), and T5 (Control) with a dilution rate of
concoction of 1 tbsp. OHN: 1 liter of water. The
experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete
Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Plant
height, number of leaves developed, pest incidence,
insect damage rate, weight per plant, and yield per plot
were measured. Result showed that the highest
treatment mean (6.32 cm.) was recorded in T4 and the
lowest (4.03 cm.) was in T5 which revealed a highly
significant effect. The highest treatment mean (5.17) for
the number of leaves was found in T4 and the lowest
(3.89) was observed in T5. In the case of insect damage
rate, the highest treatment mean scale of 1.98 was
obtained in T5 and the lowest (1.31) was observed in T3.
In addition, the highest treatment mean (4.91) for pest
incidence was observed in T5 and the lowest (2.08) was
found in T1 which showed a highly significant result as
well. In addition, the weight per plant revealed the
highest treatment mean (49.25) in T4 and the lowest
(29.41) was observed in T5. Study revealed that the
highest and lowest yield per plot with 4.15 and 2.57
treatment mean were observed in T4 and T5,
respectively. In this experiment, the application of OHN
significantly influences the growth and yield
performance of lettuce.
