Abstract:

In this study, the tuber yield of Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) was explored under lahar-laden soil conditions treated with hydroponic waste nutrient solution at a different frequency. The experiment was arranged in a ran- domized complete block design (RCBD) with 4 treatments and 3 replica- tions at Lahar-laden Technology Demonstration Area, President Ramon Magsaysay State University, San Marcelino Zambales. T1 (no application; control), T2 (once a week), T3 (twice a week) and T4 (thrice a week). Traits such as tuber length, tuber diameter, tuber weight (per plant), and tuber yield (per m2) were measured; means of treatments were then sub- jected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by mean comparison test with Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference Test. Rank in root tuber yield in all variables brevity of similar treatments had a P ? 0.001 signifi- cant effect on root tuber yield. The first rank in maximum tuber length (21.40 cm), tuber diameter (45.03 mm), tuber weight per plant (132.09 g) and yield (6.60 kg/m2) recorded at T4 level remained higher than other treatment units however the difference was found statistically sig- nificant up to 0.05% level of significance. T3 the next highest, and control had the lowest. Mean tuber weight per plant and yield (kg/m2) showed an obvious dose-response relationship with significant differences among means between all treatments. Based on the results, the applica- tion of hydroponic waste nutrient solution more frequently can signifi- cantly improve radish production, and applying hydroponic waste nutri- ent solution three times a week was the best treatment from this study. The results indicate that the nutrient-solution can be reused and that it is an efficient growth parameter for the cultivation of radish.
