The purpose of this study is to determine the growth performance of pechay (Brassica rapa) with variety of Pavito using fermented kuhol fertilizer using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCDB) with three treatments and three replications.

The experiment was conducted for 96 days. The 32 days of fermentation of fermented kuhol fertilizer processed from collecting kuhol in the rice to harvesting fermented kuhol fertilizer with the ratio of one-kilogram kuhol and one-kilogram molasses that been harvested at 500 ml fermented kuhol fertilizer. The site is located at Block 19 lot 5 Phase 3 Amityville, Barangay San Jose, Rodriguez Rizal for 64 days rearing period from October 2, 2022 to December 3, 2022 in pechay production. The study experiment used 450 pechay in nine plots with three-meters by one-meter as experimental crops wherein in every plot has 50 pechay experimental crops.

The subject was fertilized with fermented kuhol fertilizer twice a week after seven days being transplanted November 9, 2022. The first treatment was pure water, while the second treatment was 10 ml dosage of fermented kuhol fertilizer in every two liters and the third treatment was 20 ml dosage of water of fermented kuhol fertilizer in every two liters of water.

The results of the study showed that the growth performance of pechay (Brassica rapa) using water and varying different levels fermented kuhol fertilizer has a grand mean in terms of height is 9.95 cm, in terms of width is 14.71 cm, in terms of number of leaves 6.51, and in terms of weight is 1.65 kilograms.
