Brief Description
The study is proposed because Telosma procumbens (Kapas-kapas) was observed to only flower after a year of planting. In other crops, vegetatively propagated cuttings or branches flower earlier and thus, bear fruit early, hence this study. It will be set-up infront of NTA to determine seed and vegetatively propagated Telosma procumbens (Kapas-kapas) as planting material in terms of earliness to flower, agronomic and yield performances. In some plants, vegetatively propagated plants flower earlier because it by-passes the juvenile phase. Plants will be spaced at 1 meter distances with four replications. Treatments will be:
T1 - Seed propagated
T2 - Vegetatively propagated (cuttings)
