This study shows improved tuber survival rates in sweetpotato using organic fertilizer from Philippine tree fern, suggesting potential for sustainable farming.
Key Points
Organic fertilizer from C. contaminans improved sweetpotato tuber survival rates significantly.
Treated plants had 11 ridges with survived tubers versus 5 in the control group and 6 with synthetic fertilizer.
The randomized complete block design method compared three treatments for effectiveness in enhancing tuber performance.
Results suggest this eco-friendly alternative could support sustainable agriculture, but further research for large-scale use is needed.
