| Brief Description | The project will address the WS production of solanaceous vegetables, on the premise that there exist problems, gaps, and constraints on the current practices adopted by growers which result to very low yield that highly discourage farmers. Some of these gaps can be addressed technically and these technical interventions are necessary to improve the production system during the WS. The development of appropriate production technology during the WS is expected to boost production which in effect assures a source of income for the farmers during the lean months. Test crops will be eggplant, tomato, and pepper. Each experiment will be established on or before the end of August to make sure that the growth period of the crop falls during the wet seasons. The project will be implemented with the following research studies: Study 1: Evaluation of Different Mulching Materials for the Control of Weeds and Major Pests in Solanaceous Vegetables During the Wet Season Study 2: Performance of Solanaceous Vegetables as Affected by Organic and Inorganic Fertilizer Application During the Wet Season Study 3: Enhancing Productivity in Wet Season Vegetable Production Through Intercropping Major activities include:
