| Summary, etc. | ABSTRACT<br/><br/>GANIRON, BEA S. 2019. Growth and Yield Response of Cowpea (Vigna<br/>unguiculata L. Walp) to Different Biostimulants under Minimum and<br/>Conventional Tillage Systems. Undergraduate Thesis. College of Agriculture, Food<br/>and Sustainable Development. Mariano Marcos State University, City of Batac 2906<br/>Ilocos Norte. 80 pp.<br/>Adviser: Ms. Joanna P. Crosby<br/>Co-adviser: Dr. Dionisio S. Bucao<br/> <br/> A field experiment was conducted at Brgy. Lataag, Laoag City, Ilocos Norte<br/>from November 2018 to February 2019 to: (a) compare the growth and yield response<br/>of cowpea under minimum and conventional tillage systems; (b) determine the effect<br/>of different biostimulants on the growth and yield performance of cowpea; (c)<br/>evaluate the response of cowpea to different biostimulants as affected by tillage<br/>systems, and (d) assess the profitability and productivity of cowpea production<br/>applied with different biostimulants under minimum and conventional tillage systems.<br/>The study was laid out in a Strip-plot in RCBD with three replications using<br/>20 m² experimental plots. Two tillage systems were compared, minimum and<br/>conventional while three biostimulants, CPGR, Bio-N and VAM, were evaluated<br/>together with no application.<br/> The result of the study revealed significant interaction between tillage system<br/>and biostimulant in terms of days to flowering and maturity. No significant<br/>interaction between the two factors was revealed on the growth and yield parameters<br/>used. On the other hand, significant difference was revealed between the two tillage system in terms of plant height, number of seeds per pod, seed yield, above-ground<br/>biomass and harvest index. Plants under minimum tillage significantly produced<br/>higher number of seeds per pod, seed yield, above-ground biomass and harvest index<br/>compared with plants under conventional tillage. Among the biostimulant treatments,<br/>significant differences were noted in plant height and seed yield. Seed yield was<br/>generally higher in plants applied with biostimulants as compared with no<br/>biostimulant application. The highest seed yield was obtained from Bio-N application<br/>although it was found comparable with CPGR application.<br/>The growth and yield response of cowpea differ with tillage system. Better<br/>crop growth and productivity and higher profitability can be obtained from cowpea<br/>when established under minimum tillage. Cowpea when established under<br/>conventional tillage should be supplemented with Bio-N for higher yield and<br/>profitability.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/> |
