Reproduction performance of sows inseminated with stress gene-free semen given probiotic- supplemented feed

Julius V. Abela1* ABSTRACT This study generally aimed to assess the effect of supplementation with various levels of a novel product containing probiotic and yeast cells, a feed enzyme, short-chain oligosaccharides, and herbal extracts (Farmer Peck’s Performance Booster®) and the use of halothane free gene semen on two successive parities in sows in selected farms …

Effect of Azolla as Source of Nitrogen on the Growth and Yield of Pechay (Brassica napus L. var. chinensis)

Zenaida M. Cuevas, Rebecco M. Santiago and Elizabeth D. Briones ABSTRACT Plants applied with either azolla or inorganic fertilizer performed better than the unfertilized ones. Increasing the rate of azolla application from 120 to 210 kg N/ha correspondingly increased all the parameters measured and the net income during the first cropping. However in the second …

Phenolics Involvement in Sweet Potato Resistance to Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica

Ruben M. Gapasin, Rodrigo B. Valdez and Evelyn Mae T. Mendoza ABSTRACT The possible involvement of phenols in sweet potato resistance to root-knot nematode was shown by the reduced number of eggs hatched and high larval mortality of Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica exposed to root extracts of the resistant cultivars even as low as …

Host Influences on Epidemic Development of Peanut Leaf Spot Caused by Cercosporidium personatum (Berk. And Curt) Deighton

Rodolfo A. Paningbatan and Linda B. Mabesa ABSTRACT Based on one cycle of pathogenesis due to peanut leaf spot fungus, Cercosporidium personatum (Berk. and Curt) Deighton, resistant cultivars PI 259747 and EC 76446 (292) significantly prolonged the latent period of the disease by almost two times that of susceptible cultivar CES 101. This indicates 50% …

Note: Proctor Density of Uminan clay loam, Maasin clay and Malitbog clay

Tomas D. Cardona and Alan L. Presbitero ABSTRACT The proctor densities of Umingan clay loam, Maasin clay and Malitbog clay were 1,489.48, 1,444.61 and 1,527.49 kg/m3, respectively at the optimum soil moisture content of 25%, dry basis. These values are statistically different at 1% level based on Scheffe’s test. Keywords: Proctor density. Optimum moisture content. …

Characterization of charcoal produced from different Pyrolyzing techniques

Ma. Grace Curay1*, Abigail Joy Ching1, Kazel Duran1, Regine Mary Talingting1 and Sheila Balladares ABSTRACT Different pyrolyzing techniques are assumed to yield products with different content and adsorption rate. This study aimed to characterize five coconut charcoal samples from different pyrolyzing techniques such as Drum Kiln, Pit Method, Top Lift Updraft Method for TLUD – …

Economic Analysis of Ipil-Ipil Feed Supplementation of native Caracows, Gandara, Samar

Leonila S. Parilla, Oscar B. Posas and Rowena M. Ampong ABSTRACT The average mild and cheese production was significantly higher in treated caracows than in untreated ones due to the increase in the protein intake of the treated animals thus increasing the solid content of the milk. Gathering and feedling ipil-ipil leaves to caracows, milking …

Effect of Time and Frequency of Topping of Storage Root and Cutting Production of a Bushy Sweet Potato Cultivar

Federico G. Villamayor, Jr. and Rudy D. Perez ABSTRACT The effect of topping on storage root and apical stem cutting production of a bush sweet potato cultivar (VSP-2) was studied. In the first experiment, all terminal cuttings at least 16 cm long were cut either at 38, 45, 52, or 59 days after planting (DAP). …
