Abstract

A total of 90 rice farmers who are used in adopting IK in rice pest management were considered using a convenient sampling method in selecting respondents. The data were subjected to descriptive statistics. The result showed that 40% of rice farmers are 51-60 years old, male (80%), married (95%), elementary graduate (44%), with a household size of 1 to 5 members (70%), and 37% were engaged in farming for 5 to 10 years. Furthermore, farmers are dominated by the land owner (57%), planted traditional or local varieties (61%), with farm size of less than 1 hectare (47%), and obtained an average yield of 50 caravans per hectare (35%). Rice farmers claimed that IK was handed down by their ancestors with less intervention from agricultural institutions, and rice farmers have practiced it for 20 to 30 years. Most (32%) farmers perceived they were more familiar with indigenous knowledge than new technology. The level of awareness of IK on pest management in rice production in the province of Masbate revealed that rice farmers were aware of the IK practices with a weighted mean of 2.87. Furthermore, data also revealed that the level of utilization of rice farmers who utilized IK on pest management in rice production is often with a general weighted mean of 2.85. Similarly, the result shows that the IK practices on pest management in rice production in the province of Masbate are cost-effective, with a general weighted mean of 2.85.

Abstract

The increasing demand for rice as a staple food for Filipinos is important to sustain the country's self-sufficiency in rice. Masbate is an agricultural province of the Bicol region, Philippines, where rice is a staple food and a primary crop produced. Adaptability of improved rice varieties to different locations is important to increase productivity. This study evaluated the agronomic, yield, and yield potential of different rainfed rice varieties under Masbate conditions. The study used a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four treatments, replicated three times. Data such as plant height at maturity, days to flowering, productive tillers, number of spikelets per panicle, number of filled grains, the weight of hundred grains in grams, and yield per hectare in tons were gathered. Data were analyzed using the ANOVA in RCBD and a post-hoc analysis using Tukey's HSD test for observed significant differences. The result showed a significant difference in plant height in centimeters, number of spikelets, and percentage of filled grains. However, a nonsignificant difference was obtained in the days to flowering, the number of productive tillers, the weight of a hundred grains, and yield per hectare in tons. Regarding yield and yield potential of different rainfed varieties, the NSIC Rc 272 and NSIC Rc 278 obtained the highest yield performance among the four varieties. The study's findings highlight the potential of different rainfed rice varieties as a new option for rice production. Further research is recommended using different rice varieties developed and fertilizer management practices for better yield output.
