Abstract
Results showed that the application of swine manure tea gave better effects on the growth (P<0.05) and yield performance of tomatoes (P<0.01). The swine manure tea produced taller plants, shorter number of days from transplanting to flowering and produced the heaviest and highest number of harvested tomato fruits (P<0.01). Correlation coefficient (r) revealed a moderate to high positive correlation (0.503 – 0.976) on the plant height, number of fruits, and yield when applied with swine manure tea due to its high content of soluble potassium (K2O). Economically, the application of swine manure tea obtained the highest net income at ₱298, 200.00 ha-1, and a return of investment of 244.50% as compared to the rest of the farm manure
