Aims: The study focused on growth performance and survival of Malabar Spinach (Basella alba) applied with different volume of seawater, in Brgy. Bolila, Malita, Davao Occidental. Study Design: A experimental research design was employed in the study to determine indicators that were formulated to know the survival, number leaves and growth performance of the Malabar Spinach (Basella alba). Completely randomized design technique was employed for data gathering. (ANOVA) for analyzing. Mean, percentage and average frequency used in analyzing the findings of the data. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted between April 14, 2021 and May 31, 2021. Methodology: The experiment was arranged completely randomized design with three replicates for each treatment. There was one plant in each pot and five treatments in each replicate. CRD (Complete Random Design) with (5) treatments and replicates of three (3). The treatment was the following: Treatment 1 – tap water, Treatment 2 – 5ml seawater, Treatment 3 – 10ml seawater and 10ml tap water, Treatment 4 – 15ml seawater and 15 tap water, Treatment 5 – 20 ml seawater and 20 ml tap water. Results: Overall growth performance of Malabar Spinach showed that treatment 5 gained the highest value of mean, with 150 pots in terms of final increment on the Growth (height). In terms of number of leaves on the Growth of Malabar Spinach vegetable, treatment 5 obtained the highest value of mean in replicate 3, and treatment 1 which exhibited lowest value of mean. In terms of Survival Rate of Malabar Spinach (Basella alba), treatment 5 obtained the highest value of mean in sampling period with the corresponding final growth of effect with different ratio treatment of sea H2O samples and common water samples. Based on the results on the effect of seawater on the survival rate of Malabar Spinach, the result showed that treatments obtained the highest value of mean in terms of growth. In terms of number of leaves, Treatment 1 (tap water) obtained the highest value of mean. In terms of Survival, Treatment 1 obtained the highest value of mean Conclusion: The result showed that treatments obtained the highest value of mean in terms of growth. In terms of number of leaves, Treatment 1 (tap water) obtained the highest value of mean. In terms of Survival, Treatment 1 obtained the highest value of mean. Based on the statistical One Way ANOVA, the results revealed that there is a statistically significant difference of growth performance of Malabar Spinach from the six treatments. The result showed that treatment 5 was the highest value of mean from the sampling period given. The results also revealed that there is no significant difference on the number of leaves, length and survival of Malabar Spinach vegetable as applied with different volume of seawater in six sampling of the study.
