Abstract
A trial generally aimed to generate information on the agronomic effectiveness of 10 bags per hectare AGROFER to mm. Specifically, the objectives of the study was to evaluate the marketable yield response of com to different rates and combination of AGROFER and inorganic fertilizers and to determine the effects of AGROFER on the biomass production of com. This was laid-out in Randomize Complete Block Design at Catalunan Pequefio, Davao City, during the period July to October, 2000. The combination of full inorganic fertilizer (2 bags per ha Ammophos + 1 bag/ha Muriate of potash + Urea 1 1/2 bags/ha) plus 10 bags/ha AGROFER (T6) gave the highest biomass yield of com (20.050 t/ha). Marketable yield of com (5,950 kg/ha) treated with 10 bags/ha AGROFER alone (T5) was comparable with the marketable yield of corn applied with one half recommended rate of inorganic fertilizer (1 bag/ha Ammophos + 1/2 bag/ha Muriate of potash + % bag/ha Urea) (T3) (5,550 kg/ha). Yield in T5 was higher than the yield of com in Tl (no fertilizer applied) (5,000 kg/ha). Much better economic yield was observed when 10 bags/ha AGROFER was mixed with 2 bags/ha Ammophos + bag/ha Muriate of potash + 1 1/4 bags/ha Urea (T6) and applied to com (7,050 kg/ha).
