Corazon B. Batoy, Bernardita C. Pilapil and Josephine F. Sarmago ABSTRACT Female blue crabs were relatively smaller than males. More smaller crabs (carapace lengths <50 mm) were observed in January, April and July in consonance with reported intense spawning periods. Most crabs (males and females) were generally between 60 to 70 mm long. Spatial distribution …
Selvano S. Dalion, Jose R. Pardales, Jr. and Mario E. Baliad ABSTRACT Size of planting material greatly affected the growth and development of taro. Most of the vegetative characters and man corm yield increased in values as sett size increased. A very strong positive correlation was observed between sett size, and fresh and dry weights …

Erlinda A. Vasquez*, Precila D. Contero and Dilberto O. Ferraren ABSTRACT Corms of five taro varieties namely two NSIC-registered varieties, VG-1 (Kalpao) and VG-2 (Iniito), and three farmer’s variety, PRG 322 (Chowking), PRG 381 (Pandaga), and PRG 380 (Salot), were evaluated for antioxidant activity using 1, 1-diphenyl-2 picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay before and after cooking. The …
Valerio C. Tanguilig ABSTRACT The efficiency of the Shardakov or dye mothod in measuring the leaf water potentials of cassava (Manihot esculent Crantz var. Hawaiian 4) and soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. var. Clark 63) was evaluated and compared with that of the pressure chamber measurements were made on whole leaves while Shardakov method measurements …
Patrick Michael1* ABSTRACT In acid sulfate soils (ASS), it is well established that sulfuric soil acidity is managed by application of a neutralising agent and sulfidic soil oxidation is prevented by water table management. This review summarizes recent studies using organic matter in amelioration of sulfuric soil acidity and curtailing of sulfidic soil oxidation by …
