    Effect of GREENTEC organic fertilizer on the yield of pechay (Brassica chinensis)
    Macarayan, Olympio B.; Campaner, Alexander M. (Southern Philippines Agri-business and Marine and Aquatic School of Technology, 2004-01)
    This study was conducted in the farmer's field of Barrio Pampanga, Lanang, Davao City from the period February to April 2001. It aimed to generate information on the agronomic effectiveness of 20 bags per hectare GREENTEC organic fertilizer and to evaluate the growth and yield response of pechay to different rates and combinations of GREENTEC organic and inorganic fertilizers. Results showed that growth of pechay in T5 (20 bags per hectare of GREENTEC organic fertilizer alone) was comparable to that in T2 (Ammophous - 3 bags/ha + Ammosul -12 bags/ha + Muriate of Potash-0.5 bags/ha), T3 (Amorphous -11/2 bags/ha + Ammosul - 6 bags/ha + Muriate of Potash - 0.5 bag/ha; T4 (T3 + T5) and T6 (T2 + T5) but much higher compared to T1 (no fertilizer). The yield of pechay in T5 was comparable to that of T2 and T3 but significantly higher compared to the yield of pechay in T1. By mixing 20 bags GREENTEC organic fertilizer per hectare with inorganic fertilizer rates in T2 and T3, highly significant increase in yield of pechay was observed (T6 and T4).

    Seaweed culture as a livelihood source: A case in Barangay Bato, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur
    Bacaltos, Della Grace G.; Revilla, Nila Nanette S.; Noel, Helen W.; Antonio, Emily S.; Gultiano, Joven O.; Besas, Jesebel (Southern Philippines Agri-Business and Marine and Aquatic School of Technology, 2004)
    As an offshoot of the Technology Innovation, Promotion, and Commercialization Program (TIPCP) initiated by Land Bank of the Philippines and DOST-XI, this study was conducted to feature actual seaweed culture practices in barangay Bato, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur. This initiative may be a way to provide inputs for the development of strategies for greater seaweed production. Specifically, the study aims to identify variations in culture practices, determine production, and provide venue for extending assistance to seaweed growers. Purposive sampling was done and 73% of the actual seaweed growers in the site were interviewed. Results show that most culture practices of seaweed growers in the study site vary from the recommended ones. Volume of seaweed production, as declared by the respondents, is slightly low but not quite far from the values recorded for the seaweed farms in Western Mindanao. It was worth note taking that more than half of the seaweed growers in barangay Bato finance the farms they operate and the rest are assisted by buyers. This may call for a need of a sound financing scheme by funding institutions. Similarly, the low production, in terms of volume and income, may also be an important concern wherein interventions for technical assistance and marketing strategy have to be pursued.

    Cardaba production
    Campaner, Alexander M.; Estimada, Geronima M.; Bayaron, Teresita B.; Labasano, Susana T.; Bontia, Lynette A.; Salibay, Ma. Asuncion L.; Melencion, Ralf O. (Southern Philippines Agribusiness and Marine and Aquatic School of Technology, 2008)
    PREFACE There is a general recognition in the Philippines and in Region XI of the importance of an appropriate cardaba banana farming for better yield and higher farm income. Appropriate production practices for cardaba crop is a basic requirement in sustaining cardaba farming. The important criteria of good, sound and appropriate cardaba production practices include good irrigation and drainage, maintained farm hygiene and soil fertility, timeliness of pest, diseases control, proper fruit care and handling and population control. Cardaba production is an important component in a coconut farming system as an intercrop. Also, it is grown in backyard/small scale, yet, its agribusiness potential is enormous. Good, sound and appropriate management for better production and higher farm income is the framework provided in the pamphlet. The authors wish to express their appreciation to the Commis[s]ion on Higher Education for funding the reproduction of this pamphlet as an important contribution towards the development and sustenance of cardaba in the country's agribusiness sector.
