This experiment following the Analysis of Variance in Randomized Complete Block Design was conducted to determine the effects of varying amounts of fermented golden apple snail on tomato. This field experiment was conducted in OMSC-Murtha [Occidental Mindoro State Coll.]- Murtha, San Jose, and Occidental Mindoro [Philippines] from December 2009-January 2010. Seventy two plants of tomato were used in the study. Tomato seedlings were randomly distributed for each treatment of 4 plants per replication. All the plants were subjected to same care and management except for the kinds and amount of fertilizer used. These are follows: Treatment 1, Control no fertilizer was applied. Treatment 2, RR of complete fertilizer, 1 L per hectare, 2 L per hectare, 3 L per hectare and 4 L per hectare of fermented golden apple snail was used for Treatment 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively. Based on the findings, fermented golden apple snail has a significant effect on the yield of tomato as revealed by t he increase in number and weight of fruits as compared to the use of chemical fertilizer. The application of 30 L per hectare of the experimental liquid fertilizer gives highest yield of tomato.
