Effect of Indigenous Microorganisms and Fish Amino Acids on the Yield Potential of Eggplant (Solanum Melongena) through Foliar Application

This research was conducted at the experimental area of SSC School of Agriculture, Gandasuli, Patikul, Sulu, from June 17, 2024, to September 08, 2024. It especially sought to answer the following queries: What is the reaction of eggplant in terms of fruit length (inches) produced per treatment of the study? How many marketable sizes of eggplant fruit are produced per treatment of the study? What is the total average weight (kilogram) of eggplant fruit produced per treatment of the study? The area of the study consists of 100 square meters. It was analyzed using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), which was divided into three replications, and each replication was subdivided into three treatments: treatment 1—Indigenous Microorganism (IMO), treatment 2—Fish Amino Acid (FAA), and treatment 3—Control (no fertilizer). As the results were analyzed, the researchers found out that there was significant variation in terms of fruit length, total number of marketable sizes, and the general average weight of eggplant applied with these two organic fertilizers. Moreover, applying indigenous microorganisms (IMO) and fish amino acids (FAA) has a positive impact on the yield potential of eggplant. In addition, using these two organic fertilizers can help to improve the number of marketable sizes of eggplants and eventually increase income.
