| Brief Description | The study will be conducted in staggered planting. The treatments will be monthly planting as follows: T1 - January planting T2 - February planting T3 - March planting T4 - April planting T5 - May planting T6 - June planting T7 - July planting T8 - August planting T9 - September planting T10 - October planting T11 - November planting T12 - December planting Propagation of cuttings will be done every month so that planting materials will have the same age/maturity during the establishments of the monthly planting. Plant will be spaced at 1 meter distances, 5 plants per treatment replicated 3 times in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Cultural management shall be employed like providing trellis, use of 2 kg organic fertilizer per plant, irrigation and weeding as needed. Data to be gathered will be vine length at 3, 6 and 9 months after transplanting. Likewise, number of branches shall also be monitored, days to flower, yield and yield components. |
| Expected Output | Best time (month) to plant Telosma procumbens (Kapas-kapas) |
