SALIONG, JAMES BRENT T. APRIL 2012. Preliminary Study on the
Management of Cabbage Clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) Using Organic Foliar
Fertilizer. Benguet State University, La Trinidad, Benguet.

Adviser: Janet S. Luis, Ph. D.

ABSTRACT

The study was conducted to manage clubroot using organic foliar fertilizer on
cabbage. Results showed that the initial soil pH (5.42) was favorable for the growth and
multiplication of Plasmodiophora brassicae to cause infection on cabbage. There were
insignificant increases in the final soil pH of 0.15 for the control, 0.44 for Mokusaku( 10
ml/L water), 0.32 for D.I. GROW GREEN (5ml/L water), 0.22 for D.I. GROW
GREEN(6.25ml/L water) and 0.32 for D.I. GROW GREEN (7.8125 ml/L water).
Results revealed that with the use of organic foliar fertilizer, more number of leaves
have emerged and had darker green color compared to the control plants which were given
plain water.
In terms of clubroot severity, the foliar fertilizer did not control the clubbing but
promoted the development of secondary roots that enabled the cabbage to recover and start
to develop small heads which would have fully developed when given longer duration of
time. Cabbages treated with foliar fertilizer were taller than the control plants given plain
water.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION


Plant Height

Plants treated with D.I. GROW in all concentrations were taller than control plants.
This could be attributed to the nutritional contents of the foliar fertilizer.

Plant Color

The D.I. GROW GEEN treatments had dark green color of leaves because of its
nitrogen content. On the other hand Mokusaku at 10 ml/L water had a light green leaves.
Plants given plain water had a pale green leaves.

Number of Leaves
Results showed that plants treated with D.I. GROW GREEN at 6.25 ml/L had the
most number of leaves with a mean of 12.89. Plants given plain water had the least number
of leaves with a mean of 7.33. Statistical analysis revealed that all treatments are highly
significant.

Clubroot Severity

The clubroot severity ratings of plants given different treatments are shown in Table
4. All plants were uprooted at harvest had slight clubbing on the minor to major lateral
roots of the cabbage. Enlargement of the root system are visible.
The root system of the sample plants showed clubbing ranging from 2.11 to 4.11.
Plants treated with D.I. GROW GREEN had the highest mean of 4.11 whereas plants
treated with Mokusaku had the lowest mean of 2.11. This indicates that Mokusaku

controlled the maturation by P. brassicae while D.I. GROW at the high concentrations
promoted P. brassicae growth. At the least concentration, D.I. GROW controlled infection.

Soil pH

There was uniform initial soil pH in all the soil used. The highest soil pH was
recorded with Mokusaku with a mean of 5.86. Plants with plain water had the lowest mean
of 5.57. Nevertheless the final soil pH was insignificant.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Summary
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of foliar fertilizers in controlling
cabbage clubroot at Benguet State University, La Trinidad, Benguet from November 2011
to March 2012.
Results showed that the application of different treatments namely Mokusaku (10
ml/L water) served as protection for the root clubbing of the plants, D.I. GROW GREEN
at high concentration (7.8125 ml/L water) promoted P. brassicae growth. Based on the
number of leaves emerged the highest number was obtained in plants treated with D.I.
GROW GREEN at 6.25 ml/L water. The D.I. GROW GREEN of different rate of (5, 6.25
and 7.8125) had a dark leaves because of its nitrogen content.

Conclusion
The use of organic foliar fertilizer in different rates of application did not control
the clubbing but was observed to help in the enhancement of secondary roots. The
secondary roots helped the plant in the uptake of nutrients as way of coping up for the galls.
At long time duration the cabbage plants would develop heads.

Recommendation

In the conduct of future studies, the following shall be considered:

1. Mokusaku combined with D.I. GROW GREEN for the protection of the roots of
the plant and supply of nutrients as well.
2. The increase in the amount of mokusaku for protection can be evaluated.
3. The addition of lime to balance soil pH is a must.
