Antonio V. Veloso and Tung Ly ABSTRACT Fertilizer requirements of coconut seedlings belonging to Baybay Tall variety grown on four most Important “coconut soil” types (Palo clay loam, Maasin clay, Gulnbala-on clay and Fara-on clay) in the Island of Leyte were studied. Four fertilizer rates were tried, namely: 30 g (NH4),SO4 + 35 g KCI, …
Dennis C. Varron and E.C. Sison ABSTRACT The effects of antioxidants butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and propyl gallate (PG) and fungistatic agents potassium sorbate, sodium propionate and sodium benzoate on the stability of dried bisugo against oxidative rancidity were evaluated using sensory and chemical analyses as indices. Each of the antioxidants and fungistatic …
Lorenza B. de Pedro, Dely P. Gapasin and Lucia M. Maramara ABSTRACT The biology of the greater spike moth Tirathaba rufivena Walker, an important insect pest of coconut, was studied in the laboratory. The Insect underwent 5 larval festers and Its developmental period from egg hatching to adult emergence varied slightly between sexes, the males …

Rolinda L. Talatala ABSTRACT A greenhouse experiment was conducted to determine thiobencarb (S-4-chlorobenzyl diethylthiocarbamate) toxicity to IR-36 and RD-19 rice cultivars as affected by the time of NA (1,8-naphthalic anhydride) application. Both cultivars responded similarly to time and sequence of NA and thiobencarb application. Application of both NA and thiobencarb at planting was the least …
Jesusito L. Lim and William L. Fernandez ABSTRACT Tuba and lambanog toddy were sampled for identification of acetic acid and lactic acid bacteria using tryptone glucose yeast extract brom-cresol green actidione agar, Beijerinck agar with Andrade’s indicator plus actidione and tomato juice agar plus actidione. Acetic acid bacteria isolated from tuba and lambanog toddy were …
Anita M. Maureal, Ma. Flerida A. Carino, Lualhati M. Noriel and Nelson M. Esguerra ABSTRACT The life history and behavior of the eggplant fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee, were studied in the laboratory with pieces of eggplant fruit as food. The insect had five larval instars, with a total developmental period of 23.45 days for …

M.C. Escalante, H.P. Johnson and C. Anderson ABSTRACT A computer simulation model developed using the concept of rotation irrigation was used to estimate the optimal irrigation time interval, determine the effects of subdividing the irrigable area into rotation area on the yield of rice, estimate the maximum area that would give the highest yield and …

J. R. Pardales Jr., M. R. Villanueva and F. R. Cotejo Jr. ABSTRACT The local taro variety Kalpao performed better than the Introduced variety Big Lehua. Kalpao had higher yield, shorter growing period and was relatively resistant to adverse growing conditions than Big Lehua. Nitrogen was a more Important nutrient than P and K for …
M. Satish Chandra Prabhu, P. Venkatasubbaiah, K.M. Safeeulla and H.S. Shettv ABSTRACT Seed health analysis was conducted on 5 different cultivars of Leucaena leucocephala, Twenty-seven different fungal species of both field pathogenic and storage importance were recorded. Fusarium moniliforme, F. oxysporum, F. solani, Verticillium sp., Trichoderma viridae and T. harzianum were among the most important …
