C. General procedures and treatment
I. Preparation of the Talisay (Tarminalia catappa) fruit extract.
Three kilograms of Talisay (Tarminalia catappa) was gathered from Brgy. Cabangtalan,
Sinait, Ilocos Sur. The Talisay(Tarminalia catappa) fruit was soaked in a 3L water for one
week. Then it was strained to extract the juice and the juice obtained was placed in a
container.
II. Preparation of Treatments
Six treatments was prepared based from the following concentrations of
Talisay(Tarminalia catappa) fruit extract
TREATMENT 1: 100% Concentration of Talisay (Tarminalia catappa) fruit extract
TREATMENT 2: 75% Concentration of Talisay (Tarminalia catappa) fruit extract and 25%
water
TREATMENT 3: 50 % Concentration of Talisay (Tarminalia catappa) fruit extract and 50%
water
TREATMENT 4: 25% Concentration of Talisay (Tarminalia catappa) fruit extract and 75%
water
TREATMENT 5: 100% water
TREATMENT 6: Positive Control Organic Fertilizer
III. Preparation of test plants
Twenty-one (21) eggplant (Solanum melongena) was bought from Brgy. Macabiag Sinait,
Ilocos Sur. This Eggplants (Solanum melongena) was planted in eighteen(18) garden pots
with four(4) kilograms of soil each.
IV. Treatment Application
The extracted Talisay (Tarminalia catappa) fruit extract was tested to eggplants
(Solanum melongena) divided into six (6) treatments with three(3) replicates. This was
done by pouring the extract in each treatment{(Treatment 1- 10 ml of
Talisay(Tarminalia catappa) fruit extract)(Treatment 2- 7.5 ml of Talisay(Tarminalia
catappa) fruit extract and 2.5 ml of water)(Treatment 3- 5 ml of Talisay(Tarminalia
catappa) fruit extract and 5 ml of water)(Treatment 4- 2.5 ml of Talisay(Tarminalia
catappa) fruit extract and 7.5 ml of water)} twice a week in the morning. Observation
was done for 30 days to determine if the extracted Talisay(Tarminalia catappa) was
effective as a fertilizer for eggplants (Solanum memelongena).
