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 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

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

The present status of sugarcane farming in the Philippines is very low at an average of 57.36 tons per hectare (TC/ha), way below the national target of 75 TC/ha For the seven location covered by this study the total area planted is 93,354.03 hectares with an average 54.35 TC/ha. This study used the descriptive method and in the gathering of data the instrument prepared by Oñal (2021) was utilized. For this study, 320 sugarcane farmers were randomly identify as respondents. High significant difference is shown with the level of production of sugarcane at the Visayas, Philippines when group by location with a mean of 2.28 (5%). Furthermore, the level of production as influence by the duration of rainfall was statistically significant at 1% level with a production mean of 2.26. Relatively, the level of production of sugarcane planted at different type of soil is statistically significant as well, at 1% level with a production mean of 2.43. The further revealed that there is a signification correlation between the sugarcane production and the duration of rainfall as well as the production and the type of soils at 1% level of significant respectively. The results of the study indicates that in order to increase the production of sugarcane it is best to plant the crop in a loamy or mixed soil. If the area has no irrigation-facilities, the timing of planting should be religiously observe so that sugarcane plant can receive the rainfall in a period of 5 months or more within its entire growing period.

Abstract

Agricultural extension is an essential strength in agricultural development and social innovation factor. It is a key that can capacitate sugarcane farmers to accelerate the adoption of technology in farm production. Furthermore, agricultural extension services are instrumental in bridging the gap between agricultural research and practical farming. This study aims to determine the influence of extension services on the production of sugarcane in the Philippines. Descriptive method of research was employed in the study. The respondents were 320 sugarcane farmers that were randomly identified from seven locations in the Visayas. The instrument used was the validated survey questionnaire used by Oñal, et al (2021). Results show that there is a significant difference in the production of sugarcane among location with a mean of 2.28 or an average of 50-64 TC/ha (ɑ=0.05). The advocacy on planting of high yielding varieties (HYVs) that are adaptable to sugarcane farms (m=3.87, ɑ=0.05) and the dissemination of different projects to the farmers (m=3.98, ɑ=0.05) had a significant impact on sugarcane production at >65 Tons/ha. Furthermore, the two agricultural extension services mentioned are moderately correlated with the production. The study recommends that the advocacy for planting of HYVs suitable to farms should be further prioritize including the strong dissemination of various agricultural development to bolster the sugarcane production in the area.
