To evaluate the efficacy of seaweeds emulsion (Carrageenan) as nutrient supplement to organic fertilizer on glutinous corn production, a study was conducted at the Cagayan State University-Lal-lo, Cagayan from July 17 to September 25, 2016 with the following treatments: T1-Control, T2-3 tons Organic Fertilizer (OF), T3-1.5 liters Seaweeds Emulsion/ha; T4-3 liters Seaweeds Emulsion/ha, T5-4.5 liters Seaweeds Emulsion/ha, and T6-6 liters Seaweeds Emulsion/ha arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The treatments have no significant effect on plant height. Application of seaweed emulsion affected the grain development as manifested by longer and heavier corn ear. Higher rates (3-6 L/ha) proved to more efficient as indicated by the bigger ear, highest yield and ROI of 909.62 percent. The study revealed that 3 tons OF with liters of seaweed emulsion improved glutinous corn production. Further study is recommended to validate the result and come up with a more reliable conclusion.
