Abstract

The study sought to determine the effects of different levels of concentrations of bio-stimulant solution (BSS) in inducing the growth, flower, and yield of mung bean. The study was conducted at UNO-R School of Agriculture, Philippines last February to April 2022. Pag-asa 3 variety was used as planting material. The study was laid out in RCBD) with four treatments and replicated 4 times. The BSS was diluted in water and applied 6 inches from the base of the plant as per research protocol. Statistical analysis revealed highly significant differences among treatments in growth parameters such as plant height and leaf area index (LAI) at 35DAS. Likewise, there was high significant difference among treatments on the days to 50% flowering of the plant. Furthermore, results showed highly significant differences among treatments in the number of pods per plant, pod weight per plant, number of seeds per pod, 100 seed weight, and yield of mung bean. For the highest plant height, LAI, and period of flowering they were obtained from plants applied with 150ml BSS, followed by 100ml BSS, and 50ml BSS. On the other hand, untreated plants have the shortest height, narrower leaves, and late in flower initiation. Mung bean pods per plant were great in number, heavier in weight from plants treated with 150ml BSS among the other treatments, the most number of seeds per pod, and the heaviest per 100-seed weight as well as the highest seed yield per hectare. This study recommends the use of 150ml BSS in inducing the growth and higher yield of mung bean plant production.

Abstract

The study aims to determine the response of sugarcane setts to the different level of concentrations bio-stimulant solutions (BSS) that can accelerate the rooting and tillering. The study was conducted at UNO-R School of Agriculture, Philippines from October 15, 2023 -January 15, 2024. Phil 99-1793 variety is used. It was laid out in Completely Randomized Design with 4 treatments, replicated 4 times. The treatments were; no BSS (control), 200ml, 300ml, and 400ml BSS. Cane setts were prepared a day before planting. Leaf sheaths were remove and viable eye buds was selected. Setts were soaked in water for 24 hours and air-dried for 30 minutes before planting. The BSS were diluted in water before application. It was applied at plant base 15, 45, and 75 days after planting (DAP). Statistical analysis revealed highly significant on root weight and length with 110grams and 100.33cm for 400ml BSS, respectively. Great significant result also was observe for the tiller height at 30DAP and 60DAP with 26.10cm and 43.08cm respectively for 400ml BSS treatment. On tiller weight at 90DAP, number of tillers at 30DAP and number nodes at 90DAP statistics indicates a significant result with 752grams, 1.75tillers and 8.10nodes for 400ml BSS treatment. Application of 400ml BSS shorten the germination to only 5.30days while control treatment germinated at 8.03days. Application of 400ml BSS also increases the biomass with 4,310,00kg/hectare higher than the control with 2,242.50 kg/hectare. The study recommends the application of 400ml of BSS to accelerate the rooting and tillering of sugarcane setts up to 90DAP.

Abstract

The study aims to determine the effect of the application of bio-stimulant to one-eyed and two-eyed sugarcane setts as planting materials in enhancing the rooting and biomass. The study was conducted at UNO-R School of Agriculture, Philippines from November to December 2023. Phil 2006-2289 variety was used as planting materials. The study was laid out in a two-way factorial Completely Randomized Design with the kind of materials as the main plot and the four (4) levels of concentration of bio-stimulant solutions (BSS) plus the control as the sub-plots replicated 4 times. Cane setts preparation was done a day before the planting operations. Leaf sheaths were remove and only those setts with good and viable eye buds were selected for planting. Soaking was done for 24 hours. Bio-stimulants (BSS) were diluted in water and used as a soaking solution and succeeding application was done 15 days after planting. Statistical analysis revealed highly significant differences among treatments on the germination, biomass accumulation, weight and length of roots, number, weight, and height of tillers applied with 500ml of BSS. There was a high significant difference on the root length and biomass as influence by type of cane setts and the levels of concentration of BSS. Two-eyed cane setts applied with 500ml of BSS got the heaviest root weight and biomass. The study recommends the use of 500ml of BSS and two-eyed cane setts in enhancing the rooting and biomass of sugarcane plants during the germination phase.

Abstract

Sugarcane is an important crop in the Philippines planted throughout the country but is most abundant in the Visayas and particularly on Negros Island. This study aims to determine the effect of the application of different concentrations of bio-stimulant on enhancing root and biomass accumulations at the pre-tillering stage of the sugarcane plant. The study was conducted at the University of Negros Occidental – Recoletos School of Agriculture, Philippines last December 6, 2023, to February 6, 2024. One hundred pieces of two-eyed cane points of RC-88 were used as planting materials. Soaking the cane points in water was done for 24 hours. Thereafter they were removed from water and air-dried for 30 minutes. The bio-stimulant was prepared before the application based on the study protocol. The bio-stimulant was diluted in distilled water and applied at the base of the plant using a measuring cup for even distribution. Regular monitoring for the presence of pests/diseases was done including watering. There were five (5) treatments, replicated four (4) times using Complete Randomized Design (CRD). Statistical analysis revealed that most of the characteristics of sugarcane plants significantly correlated with roots and biomass accumulation when applied with different levels of concentrations of bio-stimulant concentration at the pre-tillering stage of sugarcane. The use of 500ml Bio-stimulant significantly influenced the germination, tiller height, weight of tillers, weight of roots, length of roots, and biomass. This study recommends the use of 500ml bio-stimulant in enhancing the rooting and biomass accumulation of sugarcane setts at pre-tillering stage.

Abstract

The study sought to determine the effects of different levels of concentrations of bio-stimulant solution (BSS) in enhancing the growth and maximizing the yield of the cucumber plant. The study was conducted at UNO-R School of Agriculture, Philippines, last January 8, 2024, to March 18, 2024. The study was laid out in (CRD) with four treatments and replicated 4 times. The BSS solution was diluted in the water. It was applied at the base of the vine following the research protocol. Statistical analysis revealed highly significant differences among the treatments in growth and yield parameters such as length of vine and weight of marketable fruits, respectively. Likewise, results showed highly significant differences among treatments on flower initiation, number of leaves, number of fruits, circumference, and diameter of fruits, biomass, and root weight. For the longest vine, greater number of leaves, early flower initiation, great number of fruits, greater length and bigger circumference of fruits, heavier weight of fruits, heavier roots, and biomass accumulation were obtained from plants applied with 400ml BSS, followed by 300ml BSS, and 200ml BSS, respectively. While those who have no BSS had the lowest result in almost all of the parameters mentioned above. Four growth characteristics are strongly correlated with the length of vines, and three for the root weight, respectively. This study recommends the use of 400ml BSS in enhancing the growth and maximizing the yield of cucumber.

Abstract

Spring Onion (Allium fistulosum), is a perennial plant and a native of Eastern Asia. It is rich in vitamins A and K, iron, calcium, and dietary fiber, which contribute to various health benefits, blood pressure and cholesterol levels and improve blood regulation. The study aims to evaluate the response of spring onion to the different levels of concentration of bio-stimulant. Around 160 spring onion plants were utilized as planting materials. Before planting, extra leaves were cut to around 3 inches and roots were trimmed off too. The study was conducted at the School of Agriculture, University of Negros Occidental–Recoletos, Philippines using a Complete Randomized Design (CRD). All data gathered were statistically computed, and subjected to ANOVA using STAR 2.0.1. The experiment has four treatments: 0%, 20%, 30%, and 40% BSS, respectively, and was replicated four times. Results indicate that the application of 30% BSS significantly enhances the height to 32.02cm higher by 2.09cm for those with 0% BSS at 29.93 cm only, On the number of slips, 30% BSS has a greater number of slips of 3.42 against those with 0% BSS at 2.17 slips only. Biomass accumulation is highly significant with 3,375.00kg/ha for 30% BSS higher by 1,562.50kg/ha for 0% BSS. The total yield for 30% BSS is 3,000.00kg/ha significantly higher by 1,562.50kg/ha for 0% BSS with 1,437.50kg/ha only. Based on these findings, the application of a 30% BSS is recommended to optimize some of the agronomic attributes and yield of spring onions.

Abstract

Carrots (Daucus carota) is an essential vegetable because of its high beta-carotene (Vitamin A). This study seeks to determine the growth and yield performance of carrots applied with different concentrations of bio-stimulant (BSS). This study was conducted at the University of Negros Occidental – Recoletos, School of Agriculture last December 28, 2023 to March 27, 2024. Eighty (80) carrot seeds (Kaneko Bonfire Variety) were used as planting materials. The seedlings were transferred in polyethylene bags using the Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments replicated four times. The treatments were the Control (no BSS), 10%, 20%, and 30% BSS. The BSS was applied at the plant base 15 and 35 days after transplanting (DAT). The data gathered was analyzed utilizing the STAR 2.1.0 software. To determined the relationships among different characteristics, we used Pearson's Product Moment Correlation Analysis to assess the correlations and associations. The results indicate that plants applied with 30%BSS have an average stem length of 17.79cm, more foliage of 7.95, bigger taproots with 9.28cm, heavier taproots of 32.45gm, heavy stems and leaves at 16.35gm, biomass accumulation of 46.60gm, and average yield of 16,225kg/hectares. The control (0 BSS), on the other hand, has an average stem length of 14.75cm, fewer leaves at 7.10, smaller taproots with 7.59cm, lighter taproots of 16.90gm, the lighter weight of stems and leaves at 10.15gm, smaller biomass acculation of 28.98gm, and lower yields at 8,450kg/hectare. This study recommends the application of 30% bio-stimulant concentration in enhancing the growth and yield performance of the carrot plants.

Abstract

The most popular domestic animals in poultry raising are birds, such as chickens, geese, turkeys, and ducks. This study aims to bolster the growth performance of broiler chicken by supplementing bio-stimulant in the drinking water. This was conducted last January 1 to February 7, 2024 at Bacolod City, Philippines. The total number of birds used for this study was 80 broiler chickens. The researchers gathered data on the broiler chicken's weight, average daily gain, and feed conversation ratio within 35 days. The researchers used a com-plete randomized design (CRD) with four treatments replicated four times. All the data gathered were statistically computed, and subject-ed to analysis of variance (ANOVA) in CRD using STAR 2.0.1. Results show that supplementing drinking water with 0.30% BSS mixtures had the heaviest weight of broiler chickens with 0.6984 kg, 1.3321 kg, and 1.7764 kg at weeks 3, 4, and 5, respectively. The same concentra-tion implied broiler chickens' highest average daily gain (ADG) weight with 0.0998 kg, 0.1903 kg, and 0.2538 kg at weeks 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Significant results were also shown by the same concen-tration with the lowest feed conversion ratio (FCR) at 1.47, 1.36, and 1.34 at weeks 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Based on the results of the study it recommends supplementing the drinking water of broiler chickens with BSS at a concentration of 0.30%.

Abstract

Agricultural extension has been an essential strength in agricultural development and social innovation factor. The word “extension” in the modern meaning was first used which refers to informal public education in England in the second half of the 19th century (Demiryurek, 2014). This descriptive method of research aid at determining the effectivity of extension services and the productivity of sugarcane farmers in the Visayas, Philippines. The 400 sugarcane farmers randomly identified at the 10 locations in the Visayas area of the Philippines. An instrument used was the agency Extension Program Guidelines that measures productivity of the farmers, farm profile and extent of services, among others. The result shows that the level of productivity of sugarcane farms in the Visayas area was high and a significant difference indicates on the level of productivity of sugarcane farms when grouped as to location. The level of productivity of sugarcane farming in the Visayas in terms of indicators such as size of farm, type of soil, land topography, average rainfall received, distance of the farm to the sugar mill, farming innovations, workers’ availability and expenses per hectare was at low productivity. Significant difference in the productivity of sugarcane farming at the different locations in the Visayas area in terms of size of farm, land topography, distance of the farm to the sugar mill, farming innovations, workers’ availability, and expenses per hectare except for the type of soil and average rainfall. The extent of services does not significantly related to the productivity. Relatively, there is no significant relationship existed between the extent of services and farm profile. Farm profile does not influence the level of productivity, too.

Abstract

Knowledge, experience, and collaboration work hand in hand with one another to improve productivity. The global demographic trends highlight an inversion of the farming-community age pyramid, with those age 65 years and over constituting the fastest growing sub-group of the farming population. The study aims to determine the relationship between the farmers experience and age relative to the production of sugarcane crop in the Philippines. Descriptive method of research was employed in the study. The respondents were the 320 sugarcane farmers that were randomly identified at the seven locations in the Visayas area of the Philippines. An instrument used was the validated survey questionnaire used by Oñal (2021). The result show that there a significant difference in the production of sugarcane among seven location in the Visayas, Philippines. Significant differences among the years of experience and farmers age had an effect on the production. Those who are in farming between 11-12 years and aging 36-50 years old have a high production of >65 TC/ha (alpha=0.01) least experience and young farmers. Furthermore, the farmers experience and their age level are moderately correlated (alpha=0.01). Government and other people organization should provide more scholarship or trainings to include private colleges or universities offering courses in agriculture. Tech-voc courses or trainings offered by TESDA be made available to everyone especially the out of school youth.
