Item Performance of corn (Zea may Linn.) to the application of mudpress-based organic fertilizerMacarayan, Olympio B.; Campaner, Alexander M.; Mercado, Marcelina Fe G.; Fuentes, Augie E.; Revilla, Nila Nanette S. (Davao del Sur State College (Formerly SPAMAST Digos Campus), 2013)The developed mudpress-based organic fertilizer (MBOF) had been tested to corn following the Fertilizer and Pesticide (FPA) protocol. The trial was conducted in Brgy. Dulangan, Digos City. Corn ear length and number of corn ears per plant were not affected by the fertilizer application. However, plant height, ear diameter, fresh weight of corn ear, dried weight of corn ear, weight of kernel after drying and computed yield were significantly improved by the application of inorganic and MBOF or their combinations. Positive response of corn was noted among these variables, thus, MBOF can be utilized as an ideal organic fertilizer.Item Kappaphycus dripping enhance seed germination and production of hybrid rice (PSBRc72H – Mestizo 1)Agudera, Juan P., Jr.; Caballero, Graciela L.; Revilla, Nila Nanette S.; Gliocam, Mariz (Southern Philippines Agri-Business and Marine and Aquatic School of Technology, 2013)This study was conducted in SPAMAST-CAS, Matti, Digos City and at New Ilocos, Magsaysay, Davao del Sur. The general objective of the study was to evaluate the germination, growth and yield of PSBRc72H as influenced by different levels of Kappaphycus Drippings (KD). Findings of the study revealed that hybrid rice seeds soaked for 12 hours with 20 ml of KD per liter of water enhanced germination to 86.67%. KD as foliar fertilizer improved the agronomic characteristics such as plant height in cm (45 DAT), number of tillers per hill (60 DAT) and number of productive tiller per hill; and yield components such as number of filled spikelets per panicle and 1,000 seed weight (g) thereby increasing the grain yield (t/ha) of hybrid rice. KD did not influence the length of panicle (cm).
