The nutrients coming from Fermented Fruit Juice (FFJ) and rice water are known for improving the growth and characteristics of the plant. The objective of the study was to ascertain the impact of various FFJ concentrations in rice water on sunflower growth, flowering efficiency, and seed yield. Complete Randomized Design (CRD) was used to plan the experiment, which consisted of five treatments and six replications. The treatments were as follows: T1 -Chemical fertilizer (Control); T2 -15 mL FFJ; T3 -30 mL FFJ; T4 -60 mL FFJ and T5 -90 mL FFJ. All of the FFJ treatments were diluted in 1 liter of rice water. The data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Findings showed that there are significant differences in the sunflower's height among 5 treatments in which 30 ml of FFJ with rice water produced the tallest crop, biggest flower head (11 cm), the highest number (370.17pcs) and weight (22.67g) of sunflower seeds that led to higher Return on Investment (95.84%). While, in terms of flowering activity, sunflower applied with 60 mL of FFJ with rice water was the fastest to bear flowers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
