    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).

    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.
