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

The study sought to determine the effects of different levels of concentrations of bio-stimulant solution (BSS) in improving the growth and yield performance of peanut plant. The study was conducted at UNO-R, Inc, Philippines last February to June 2024.  Biyaya variety was used as planting material. The study was layout in RCBD (Randomized Complete Block Design) with 4 treatments, and replicated 4 times. BSS was diluted in water and applied 6 inches from the base of each plant. Statistical analysis revealed highly significant differences among treatments in growth parameters such as germination period and flower initiation, plant height, weight of stems and leaves, and biomass. For the period of germination, highest plant height, weight of stems and leaves, biomass, and period of flowering they were obtained from plants applied with 15%, followed by 10%, and 5% BSS (ɑ =0.01), respectively. On the other hand, untreated plants have the longest days of germination, shortest height, lightest weight of stem and leaves, as well as the biomass, and late in flower initiation.This study recommends the application of 15% BSS for optimal peanut growth and yield.

Abstract

Aspirations are long-term ambitions in one’s life.  Farmers aspire to achieve happiness in their faming activities. Happy farmers are satisfied individual that can easily increase their sugarcane production. The study aims to measure the aspirations of the farmers and its correlation to the level of the production of sugarcane crop in the Philippines. Descriptive method was employed in the study. The instrument used was the validated survey questionnaire used by the group of Oñal on their study in 2021. The 320 sugarcane farmers were randomly identified at the seven locations in the Visayas area of the Philippines.  Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) shows that there’s a significant difference in the production of sugarcane among location with an average of 50-64 Tons Cane per hectare (TC/ha) (alpha = 0.05). Furthermore, a significant differences in terms of farmers emotional well-being (happy farmers) indicates a high production of >65 TC/ha (alpha = 0.05). Relatively, the degree of farmers’ happiness have weak to moderate correlation with sugarcane production (alpha = 0.01). Considering that farmers degree of happiness indicates a weak to moderate correlation with productivity, interventions that enhance farmers’ well-being such as; stable pricing, affordable credit, and efficient milling may indirectly contribute to improved yields.

Abstract

The study aims to determine the effects of different levels of concentrations of bio-stimulant solution (BSS) in enhancing the growth and yield of bush sitao plant. The study was conducted at Bacolod City, Philippines. It was laid-out in RCBD (Randomized Complete Block Design) with 4 treatments, and replicated 4 times. Statistical analysis revealed a highly significant differences among treatments in growth parameters such as the flower initiation, plant height, weight of stems and leaves, and biomass from plants applied with 15% BSS (ɑlpha = 0.01). Furthermore, results indicated highly significant differences with yield parameters as well, namely the number of pods per plant, pod weight per plant, number of seeds per pod, total weight of 100-seeds, and the yield in kg/ha (ɑlpha = 0.01). The weight of stems and leaves and biomass accumulation were strongly correlated with the plant height while weight of roots were correlated moderately (ɑlpha = 0.01). Relatively, the number of pods per plant, pod weight, as well as the number of seeds per pods were strongly correlated with the yield. Based on excellent results of the study, for bush sitao it is recommended to apply BSS with a concentration of 15% in order to enhance the growth and yield of the plant. Furthermore the result could contribute to organic farming and food sustainability program being aspired in the whole world.

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.
