The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the two organic concoctions namely Indigenous Microorganism (IMO) and Oriental Herbal Nutrient (OHN), vermicast and inorganic fertilizer on the growth performance of Bakan (Litsea philippinensis Merr.) seedlings. The study was conducted at the Forest Resource Development Division (FRDD) Nursery using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with six (6) treatments replicated three (3) times. The variables evaluated include root collar diameter, seedling height, number of leaves, percent survival, and disease severity. Results show that the application of complete fertilizer and organic concoctions (IMO and OHN) demonstrated a significant increase in height, root collar diameter, and percent survival of Bakan seedlings compared to the control. However, the effects on the number of leaves, percent survival, and disease severity of leaf spot and leaf blight were statistically not significant. Moreover, the results also show that the two organic concoctions outperformed the inorganic fertilizer in terms of the height of the seedlings. Indeed, it is concluded that the two concoctions used could be good substitutes or alternatives to inorganic fertilizer. Hence, the use of these concoctions may set an as good example to indicate that organically-based products will yield relatively comparable results with inorganic fertilizers.

Wastepaper as substrates for African night Crawler (Eudrilus eugeniae Kinberg)

The study assessed the different wastepaper as substrates for Eudrilus eugeniae. The study was carried out at the Center for Environmental Resources Management and Sustainable Development (CERMSD), College of Forestry, Environment and Resources Management (CFERM), Nueva Vizcaya State University (NVSU), Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya. A Complete Randomized Design (CRD) was used with six treatments and four replications. A study used different wastepaper such as bond, notebook, carton, newsprint mixed with goat manure in 1:2 ratio. Results revealed that different wastepaper like bond paper, notebook, carton, newsprint can be successfully used as substrate for African night crawler. However, the different wastepaper had a substantial effect on the weight of vermicompost produced and the percent recovery, newsprint and goat manure in 2:1 ratio gave significantly highest weight of the vermicompost produced and highest percent recovery. Hence, this substrate is recommended for vermicomposting using goat manure. Laboratory analysis of vermicompost as to its NPK content, nitrogen gave 0. 87% to 1.05%, for phosphorus amounted to 0.57135% to 1.06027%, and potassium measured 0.001471% to 0.001639%. From the result the NPK content of the different treatments is low. Regardless of the amount of nutrients contained in these substrates, these can help in enhancing soil fertility and is vital for plant growth and development. At the same time, through this process, the paper waste problem can be addressed while producing vermicompost that can be used as an organic fertilizer.

The study investigates the growth performance of Dillenia philippinensis Rolfe under various levels of vermicast combined with regular soil. The study was conducted at the nursery of the College of Forestry and Environmental Resources Management (CFERM), Nueva Vizcaya State University (NVSU), Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method was used with five (5) treatments and replicated three (3) times. Collected data were tabulated and analyzed with the used of Statistical Tool for Agricultural Research (STAR). The findings of the study revealed that there is no significant difference among the used treatments. However, treatment 5 (pure vermicast) observed with the highest height and diameter while treatment 1 (garden soil) is associated for leaf development. The survival rate of the D. philippinensis is manifested to treatment 1 (garden soil). The study gives an insight on the suitable media for the growth performance and survival rate of Dillenia philippinensis under various vermicast concentrations.

Weighing up the agronomic characteristics of tomato applied with vermicast as soil amendment :

Organic agriculture takes pro-active approach as opposed to treating problems after they emerged. The experiment was laid out in a 500m2 area divided into five treatments with 3 blocks following the Randomized Complete Block (RCBD) design. Each block was subdivided into equal plots measuring 5m x 4m each for the treatments. The study was conducted at the Nature Farm of Cagayan State University, Piat Campus. Findings show that the tallest plants, most number of fruits, heaviest fruits, highest fruits, and highest return of investment were obtained by the plants applied with combined inorganic fertilizer and vermicast. Moreover, the soil pH has a slight decrease from 6.52 to 5.25 while organic matter (N) content of the soils has slightly increased from 0.72 – 1.03. Conclusively, application of combined 90-0-0kg N ha-1 and 10 bags of vermicast contributes significant impact on the growth and development of the test plant and improved its agronomic characteristics.
