Abstract

This study aimed to determine the performance of Adlai Varieties grown in Caniangan, Tangub City. This experimental study was conducted at a total area of 286 sq. meters including canals. The area was divided into nine (9) plots. Each plot measured 3 meters by 6 meters. The study was laid in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 treatments replicated 3 times. The experimental treatments were: T1-Gulian Variety, T2- Pulot Variety, and T3- Ginampay Variety. The data were analyzed through the Analysis of Variance. The results of the study revealed that the 3 varieties have no significant difference in terms of plant height, the circumference of the stalk and an average number of leaves. Gulian and Ginampay were harvested at 162nd day while the Pulot was delayed in maturity and it was harvested at exactly 6 months or 184 days. Ginampay Variety produced the highest yield of 3,413 kilograms per hectare.  Gulian, on the other hand, registered a yield of 2,631 kilograms per hectare. Pulot had the lowest production with only 1,796 kilograms per hectare. All of the varieties were suitable in the area. Ginampay was the most profitable and had the highest return on investment.
