Luvimin A. Evangelio and Elpidio L. Rosario ABSTRACT Sweet corn and sweet potato were grown under 13 different cropping treatments. Double rows spaced at 0.3 m with interval row spacing of 1.0 m appeared to be the optimum treatment combination with a mean yield of 21.99 t/ha. Under this scheme, yield increases of 75% and …
Myrna M. Avila ABSTRACT A total of 175 corn farmers in the three provinces of Region XI were personally interviewed with the use of an interview schedule. Of the nine recommended corn production practices, the farmers had high adoption rate in six, namely: seed treatment, weed control, thinning, distancing of plants, insect control, and application …
E.A. Lopez, R.M. Gapasin and M.K Palomar ABSTRACT Low population density of Helicotylenchus stimulated plant growth. Weights of tops, roots and tubers at a population of approximately 1,000 nematodes per plant were higher than those of the control. Plant growth was not retarded at low levels of nematode population. However, as the population was increased …
R.P Bales, R.N. Santiago and N.M Gloria ABSTRACT The 10 abaca varieties significantly differed in almost all of the parameters considered. Lawaan x Tangongon had the heaviest weight of fresh stalk and tuxies in the outer and middle groups of leafsheaths, produced the highest weight of dry fiber recovered, and ranked second in terms of …

Ruth Otaza Escasinas, R.G Escalada and Raymundo M. Trenuela ABSTRACT Increasing the population density decreased the panicle length, number of grains per panicle, and weight of grains per panicle although it increased the leaf area index. Population density of 200,000 plants/ha gave the highest grain yield of 2.07 t/ha, followed by 300,000 plants/ha at 2.01 …
Monina M. Escalada ABSTRACT All station managers or program directors of radio stations serving the Eastern Visayas were interviewed to determine the rural development (RD) information coverage of their stations. A purposive random sample of 600 radio-listening farmers from 12 municipalities in the Eastern Visayas provided additional data on listenership to RD information. All the …

Jejoma G. Armachuelo and Fernando A. Bernardo ABSTRACT Mutation and other effects of Co60 gamma radiation and ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) in winged bean were determined at the M1 generation. Seed germination was significantly reduced by irradiation at all levels used but only at 0.15% and above for EMS. Delayed seedling emergence, high lethality and …

Emilia N Bernardo and Nelson M. Esguerra ABSTRACT A satisfactory technique for evaluating cassava accessions/varieties for resisitance to the red spider mites in the field or screenhouse was developed. Of the 295 entries tested, 50 showed varying levels of tolerance to the pest when tested in the field. At a much higher mite population in …
