Abstract

The research investigated the vegetative propagation of Bagoadlau (Xanthosthemon philippinensis Merr.) stem cuttings using different concentrations of indolebutyric acid (IBA). Pretreated cuttings were planted in polyethylene bags and observed in a fully covered chamber for 45 days. The study employed a single trial of completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments (500 ppm, 100 ppm, 1,500 ppm, and 2000 ppm), each replicated four times. Results indicated significant variations among treatment means in terms of percent shooting, shoot length, percent rooting, number and length of adventitious roots, and percent callusing. Notably, 500 ppm and 1,500 ppm demonstrated the highest outcomes in percent shooting, shoot length, percent survival, measurement of adventitious roots, count of roots, and percentage of rooting. In contrast, the survival percentage of T2 (500 ppm) displayed the highest rate and consistent performance compared to other treatments. Hence, the study recommends using 500 ppm and 1,500 ppm for effective rooting of Bagoadlau (Xanthosthemon philippinensis Merr.) stem cuttings. The successful propagation of native species like Bagoadlau is particularly relevant to ecosystem restoration efforts in regions marked by land degradation and mining activities. The study addresses several crucial aspects by successfully establishing Bagoadlau on such lands. This includes the restoration of native biodiversity, improved soil, and water quality through stabilizing soil, preventing erosion, and acting as a natural filtration system.

Abstract

This study assessed the carbon stock at the Nueva Vizcaya State Uni-versity Agricultural Innovation Center in Singian Hills, Tuao South, Bagabag, Nueva Vizcaya. The study covered a 100% inventory of trees with a diameter at breast height of at least 10 centimeters and above. Brown’s formula was used to compute the carbon stock of the species. Trees with a diameter at breast height of less than 70 cm and greater than 70 cm were computed separately. A total of 383 trees with 39 tree species were found in the area. It was found that a total of 910,460.10 kilograms was being sequestered equivalent to 564, 485.26 kilogram of carbon stock. The most abundant and recorded as the largest in terms of diameter breast height in the area is the Rain tree (Samanea saman) followed by Gmelina (Gmelina arborea) and Mangga (Mangifera indica). The rain tree that has the largest diameter breast height has a record of 119 cm with an aboveground biomass of 16,107.45 kg and a carbon stock of 9,986.62 kg. The study concludes that increasing tree volume leads to greater carbon dioxide seques-tration, emphasizing the importance of tree planting and forest con-servation for climate change mitigation and addressing global warm-ing.

Abstract

This study aimed to propagate lipote cuttings through clonal propagation using different growth hormones. The clones were raised in a non-misted closed chamber and transplanted into polyethylene bags for observation of their early growth. The growth performance of the clones was analyzed in terms of height, diameter, leaf number, chlorophyll content, leaf area, shoot biomass, root biomass, and total biomass. After three months, the study was terminated, and analysis of variance showed significant differences in percent survival, chlorophyll content, shoot biomass, and root biomass. Treatment 2, which used a mixture of garden soil and vermicompost at a 1:1 ratio, produced the best results in different growth parameters measurements.
