Background of the Study
Bokashi is an organic soil amendment originally formulated in japan ,where it is

widely us ed.it is a fermented organic fertilizer containing indigenous microorganisms
and nutrients which are beneficial to soil and plants. Practical advantages associated
with the use of bokashi include the rapid preparation time (oly2-4 weeks) relative to
traditional compost (6 months) and the reduced cost compared to commercial fertilizer
because it is manufactured from low-cost, locally available materials. Moreover, it is
easily substituted for appropriate chemical fertilizers with out requiring much additional
training. As such, it is an appropriate tool for farmers who are in the process of making
the transition from conventional to organic agriculture .The use of bokashi fertilizer can
became a stepping a stone as a basic fertilizer during soil preparation and also as a
supplementary fertilizer during the fruinting stage. Research with peanut crops has
shown that crops treated with bokashi fertilizer had higher growth rates, increased
nodulation and higher yield than crops treated with bokashi fertilizer (Yan and Xu,
2002).
Organic compost easily made using waste biomass materials and small amount
of manure available on the farm. The benefits of making compost include returning
waste organic matter and nutrients to the soil. Compost can replace the use of pure
animal manure in the production of bokashi, if manure is not available in suffiecient

quantities. Compost produced by the layering different organic materials in a pile and
allowing them to composed.
There is limited amount of scientific research which has directly investigated the
impact of bokashi fertilizer of indigenous microorganism on crop(Yan, 2002). There is
however ,a significant body of literature published in journals associated with the
discipline of agronomy , phytopatholog and evolutionary biology which investigates the
interaction between crop plants, crop pest and diseases, and beneficial microorganism
in the soil. There are a number of potentially beneficial interactions between soil
microorganism and crop plant which can be enhanced by the use of IMO. In bio-
control of applications, a number of microorganism having identified which are
reference to us “antagonist”. This are generally fungi which have the ability to hinder
the growth of a numbe fungal and bacterial pathogens of crop plants (weeden et. al).
The continous application of synthetic fertilizer, insecticides, fungicides and
herbicides and detrimental impact on the community of soil microorganism. Applications
of bokashi fermented organic fertilizer couple with FFJ, FPJ, IMO, OHN and FAA allowed
a significance increase in beneficial microbial activity.
This study will fill the gap of inorganic agriculture by conversion to organic
agriculture and can help poor farmers who lack financial resources because the cause of
producing bokashi fertilizer is minimal.
Conceptual Framework of the Study

This study conceptualized the researchers deemed to determined if the
bokashi fermented fertilizer in the fruit yield will have varied effect in the yield
performance of lacatan. The paradigm below shows the researchers' perception of the
relationship between the independent and dependent variables of the study.

Statement of the problem
This study aimed to find out the effect of using bokashi fermented fertilizer in the
growth performance of lacatan.
Specifically, this study sought answers to the following questions:
1. What is the initial height of the plants in the various treatment?
2. What is the average height of the plants in various treatment?
3. Are there significant differences in the average growth performance of lacatan
in the various treatments?
Based on the foregoing questions, the null hyphotheses below were
formulated:
1. There are no significant differences in the average heights of lacatan in the
various treatment.
2. There are no significant differences in the average growth performance of
lacatan in the various treatment.
Significance of the Study
The findings of this investigation may prove beneficial to the following individuals
and/or groups of individuals:
The Department of Agriculture. The personnel of the department may find the
results useful their extension and impormation discimanation compaign, especially on
growing lacatan.
The Agriculture Teachers/ Instructors/Professors. They may use the findings of
this investigations to substantiate their lessons on crop production specially the lacatan
production. They may also find the result useful in extension and research activities .
Agriculture Student. This study may provide them with more insight in their
chosen career especially growing lacatan.
Lacatan Growers. They may find the results useful in growing lacatan a more
profitable endeavour.
Farmers/Vegetable Raisers. The findings of this study may given them useful
information specically by using organic fertilizer in growing vegetables .
The Researchers. These researches have gained a valuable learning experience in their
chosen career through conducting this study.
Other Researcher. Data generated from this research may provide future researchers a
rich source of baseline information, especially in the field of raising vegetables .
Future Researchers. This study will serve as a basis for conducting further investigation
related to the current study.
Definition of Terms
For clarity and precision, the key terms used in this study were given their
conceptual and operational meaning.
Functional. The term refers to something designed to have a practical use
(Merriam –Webster, 2015).
In this study, the terms “ functional” refers to the leaves of the lacatan that is
marketable and eible.
Growth . this refers to a stage in the process of growing(Merriam- Webster
Online Dictionary, 2015).

In this study, this refers to the increase in height of lacatan taken from 1 DAT until 30
DAT.
Inorganic fertilizes. This is also known as a chemical fertilizer or synthetic fertilizer
which is artificially made in laboratories and contains all vital nutrients such as nitrogen,
phosphorus and potassium (Buzzle.com,2014).
