INTRODUCTION
According to Natasha Gilani, "synthetic fertilizers have long-term negative effects." With this situation, the used of organic fertilizer has been recommended. Ajmal and. et.al (2018) confirmed that, "Bio-fertilizer as an Alternative for Chemical Fertilizers" , plays a vital role in the survival of nations, therefore maintaining its quantity and quality is essential for feeding the population and economic exports. This study was conducted to development a "COESBROVECIN HOMEMADE BIO-FOLIAR FERTILIZER”, to provide sustainable fertilizers from renewable energy waste. An alternative environmentally friendly soil conditioner and crop fertilizer that could reduce costs to farmers andpotentially help with the economic price rise of food and commercial production.
METHODS
Experimental Research Design was used in the study. The COESBROVECIN homemade bio-foliar fertilizer was development. To test the effectiveness of the homemade fertilizer, the researchers prepared three set-ups labeled as alternative fertilizer, commercial fertilizer and without fertilizer. The researchers planted a pechay and prepared twenty (20) sample in each set-up. The researchers monitored the height, weight, andnumber of leaves of the pechay.
RESULTS
The COESBROVECIN homemade bio-foliar fertilizer, chemical fertilizer, and non-treated specimens were compared in terms of height, weight and number of leaves. The COESBROVECIN bio-foliar fertilizer had the highest means in height, weight and number of leaves with 4.4, 14.87 and 6.1 respectively. This is followed by the means of the height, weight, and number of leaves with 4.36, 14.61 and 5.85 respectively. The non-treated specimens had the lowest means in height, weight and number of leaves with 4.17, 13.88 and 5.20 respectively.
DISCUSSIONS
The COESBROVECIN homemade bio-foliar fertilizer made from ground coffee, eggshells, rotten vegetable extract, and wood cinder is highly recommendable in terms of effectivity, practically and performance against the inorganic foliar fertilizer.
