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 …

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 …

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 …
Algerico M. Mariscal and Azucena L. Carpena ABSTRACT Design I mating system was used to estimate the components of genetic variation of sweet potato base population. Characters studied were total root yield, weight and number of marketable roots, total number of roots, fresh weight of wines, harvest index, scab rating and dry matter content of …
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 …
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% …
