    Evaluation of corporate social responsibility programs among small-scale sugarcane farmers in Davao del Sur
    Comilang, Michelle M. (Davao del Sur State College, 2025-06)
    The study aimed to assess which corporate social responsibility program is effective in improving the sugarcane production among small-scale farmers in Davao del Sur. The study utilized a descriptive-qualitative survey research design and conducted in the province of Davao del Sur. The study administered survey questionnaires to the selected 182 sugarcane farmers and 8 representatives (chairpersons/general managers) from organization with the help of stratified random sampling techniques. The study also utilized descriptive statistics, frequency distribution, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) as the statistical tools of the study. The result showed that small-scale sugarcane farmers and the organizations are typically informed about and satisfied with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Nonetheless, insufficient financial resources impede their ability to fully benefit. The farming organizations exhibit a democratic leadership approach and equitable gender representation, perhaps enhancing marketing initiatives. Although both farmers and organizations convey contentment, organizations exhibit a greater degree of satisfaction due to their increased involvement in program implementation. Effective corporate social responsibility programs include livelihood support, skills development, improved agricultural methods, and market accessibility. Based on the findings, the Sugar Regulatory Administration could enhance its monitoring and evaluation to ensure that growers derive maximum benefit from these programs. Enhancing awareness and increasing the accessibility of financial support could alleviate the resource limitations encountered by both farmers and organizations.

    Cost-efficacy of seaweed-based liquid biostimulant as pre-treatment prior to outplanting of Kappaphycus alvarezii
    Marquez, Kathleen Jane Z. (Davao del Sur State College, 2024-05)
    This experimental study determined the cost-efficacy of using seaweed-based liquid biostimulant (SLB) as a pre-treatment prior to outplanting Kappaphycus alvarazii and it was conducted at Sitio Biao, Barangay Cogon, Digos City, Province of Davao del Sur, Philippines. Five different levels of treatments were used; control farmers practices (T1), 9g of Urea Inorganic Fertilizer (T2), 10 ml seaweed-based liquid biostimulant (T3), 20 ml seaweed-based liquid biostimulant (T4), and 30 ml seaweed-based liquid biostimulant (T5). Four replications were done in each treatment and all were places randomly in farming site. The yield and specific growth rate (SGR) were recorded and the cost-efficacy of each treatment was analyzed. After 30 days of cultivation, a significant increase in the yield and growth rate were observed in all the treatments. Result also shows that as SLB increases its dosage, the yield and SGR of the Kappaphycus alvarezii after 30 days also increases. The cost-benefit ratios (CBR) of the five treatments in this study was also calculated. T3, T4 and T5 stood out as both portrayed a positive return on investment, at 1.01, 1.27 and 1.42 respectively.
