Appropriate Time of Applying Green Leaf Foliar Fertilizer on French Bean under La Trinidad, Benguet Condition

Abstract

This study was conducted at Balili Organic Farm of Benguet State University La Trinidad, Benguet from October to December 2014 to determine the appropriate time of applying green leaf foliar fertilizer to French bean under La Trinidad condition, to evaluate the growth and yield of French bean applied with Green Leaf foliar fertilizer at different time of the day, and to determine the profitability of French bean applied with Green Leaf foliar fertilizer at different time of application. Results of the study did not show any significant differences among the different time of applying green leaf foliar fertilizer in terms of length of pods, weight of non-marketable pods and in plant height. Applying green leaf foliar fertilizer on French bean at 12:00 o’clock in the afternoon is the best time to apply this fertilizer for it produced higher yield, higher return on investment, higher number of lateral branches and higher marketable pods.
