Pagluanan, E.R., Abra State Inst. of Sciences and Technology, Lagangilang, Abra (Philippines)
The study was conducted at ASIST [Abra State Inst. of Science and Technology, Lagangilang, Abra, Philippines] experimental area of the Research Department from April 2009 to April 2010 to determine the effect of planting distance of best rate of carbonated rice hull to Malatayum and to find out the interaction effect between planting distance and CRH application on biomass production. Based on the findings of the study, the different distance of planting evaluated has significant effects on the final height, canopy of the plants, number of branches, yield per plot and the computed yield per plot. Malatayum plants spaced at 1.0 m x 1.5 m registered the widest canopy, produced more number of branches, obtained the highest yield per plot and the computed yield/ha. With regards to the rate of carbonated rice hull applied to the plants, the application of 25 tons/ha of carbonated rice hull manifested the tallest height, widest canopy, produce more number of branches, highest yield per plot and the computed yield/ha. There was a significant interaction effect between the distance of planting and CRH application on the yield per plot.
