Height of Pechay
Table 1 shows that pechay treated with Organic IMO5 yielded the highest mean in
terms of height (26.3), followed by pechay treated with Inorganic (24.33) and the lowest was
yielded by pechay that received no treatment at all. The results reveal that at α = 0.05, there
are no significant differences on the mean height of pechay with no treatment, treated by
IMO5 and those treated by Inorganic Fertilizer (computed F = 2.19 < tab. F = 3.29). The
height of the pechay did not differ when treatment (Organic, Inorganic Fertilizer) were given
as well as when treatment was controlled. The hypothesis stating that there are no significant

Weight of Pechay
The data show that pechay treated with Organic IMO5 yielded the highest mean for
weight (64.60) and pechay which received no treatment (Control -) produced the lowest
mean in terms of weight (Table 2). The Analysis of Variance for Randomized Complete
Block Design (ANOVA for RCBD) reveals that at α = 0.05, there are significant differences
on the mean weight of pechay when given the treatments (computed value of F=3.74 is
greater than tabular value of F=3.29 ). Furthermore, Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT)
reveals that there is significant difference between the mean weight of pechay treated with
Organic IMO5 and pechay treated with Inorganic fertilizer (xC-xB > Rp). Differences
among weights of pechay treated with Organic IMO5 and mean weight of pechay that
received no treatment at all was also significant. Organic IMO5, applied to pechay had the
best yield in terms of weight. The hypothesis that there are no significant differences in the

Number of Pechay Leaves
The same number of leaves (9) were produced by the pechay under both treatments
(Organic, Inorganic) as well as the control (no treatment)(Table 3). At 5% margin of error,
there are no significant differences in the mean number of pechay leaves when treated with
organic and inorganic fertilizer (computed value of F = 2.86 less than the tabular value of F
= 3.29). This implies that IMO5 and Inorganic fertilizer did not affect the yielded number of
pechay leaves. The hypothesis that there are no significant differences in the mean number

Width of Pechay Leaves
The results indicates that Organic IMO5 and Inorganic fertilizer did not affect the
width of pechay leaves. The hypothesis that there are no significant difference in the mean
width of pechay leaves after treatment is accepted. The data show that the pechay treated
with Organic IMO5 yielded the highest mean in terms of width (11.84) while the pechay
fertilized with Inorganic and pechay without treatment yielded almost the same mean width.
