    Performance of corn (Zea may Linn.) to the application of mudpress-based organic fertilizer
    Macarayan, 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.

    Severity of bacterial leaf blight disease and yield of PSBRc72H (Mestizo1) as influenced by cultural practices
    Agudera, Juan P., Jr.; Capili, Lolito N. (Southern Philippines Agri-Business and Marine and Aquatic School of Technology, 2013)
    A study on the severity of bacterial leaf blight disease (Xanthomonas oryzaepv. oryzae) and yield of PSBRc72H (Mestizo 1) as influenced by cultural practices was conducted at the Central Mindanao University Agricultural Experiment Station (AES), University Town, Musuan, Bukidnon from July- November 2006 to identify combinations of different cultural practices that could provide conditions unfavorable to bacterial leaf blight disease, their effects on the yield and agronomic characteristics; and correlate the different cultural practices, agronomic characteristics, yield components, severity of bacterial leaf blight the yield. The applications of controlled irrigation practices such as applied once a week, saturated and intermittent, any of the four NPK rates (80- 60-120, 100-60-120, 80-80-140 and 100-80-140) and planting at wider distances (20 cm x 30 cm and 30 cm x 30 cm) provided conditions unfavorable to bacterial leaf blight disease. Yield was higher if applied with continuous irrigation and planted 20 cm x 20 cm and 20 cm x 30 cm than applied with controlled irrigation which was intermittent, saturated and once a week and planted at wider distance (30 x 30 cm). Applications of any of the four NPK rates (80-60-120, 100-60-120, 80-80-140 and 100-80-140) did not affect the yield. Bacterial leaf blight disease accounted 33.49%; cultural practices 10.29 %; the agronomic characteristics 40.87%; and the yield components 8.78% respectively, on the variation in yield.

    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.
