— This research aimed to know the influence of rice water on the growth performance of
snow-white radish across varying soil types. The study utilized the Soil Texture Triangle by the
U.S Department of Agriculture that served as the basis for measuring the soil composition of each
soil type used in the study. The researchers utilized the Randomized Complete Block Design
(RCBD) to eliminate the variation of all the possible factors upon conducting the study. There was
a total of two groups observed in the study, with four blocks each. Each block is randomized by
factorial combination of soil types and water treatments. A total of 16 snow white radish plants
are manifested in the study. In each block, two plants are observed (n=2). The criteria in
determining the growth performance of the radish plants are replicated by the study outlined by
Umar (2019) namely: leaf count, leaf area, plant height, tuber length, tuber diameter, and tuber
weight. Statistical treatment was applied using two-way ANOVA in Analysis Tool pack software
to determine the significant differences of two water treatments under control (tap water) and
experimental group (rice water). It was found that plants that are grown in clay loam soil applied
with rice water produced the highest performance of snow-white radish crops with a mean of
22.53. The study also found out that rice water (Mean=19) is more influential to the growth
performance of snow-white radish than tap water (Mean=16.27) across all soil types. The ANOVA
revealed that there is a significant difference in between the tap water and rice water in affecting
the growth performance of the plants (p
