Abstract

Innovations employed in farming are usually done by integrating the existing sugarcane production technologies.  The main purpose of innovation is to increase production and to sustain the sugarcane industry. The study aims to validate some of the soil rejuvenation and post-harvest innovations practiced by the farmers that could affect their sugar production. The descriptive method of research is employed in the study.  The 320 sugarcane farmers were randomly identify at the seven locations in the Visayas area of the Philippines using the Slovin’s formula. An instrument used was the validated survey questionnaire used by the group of Oñal in their study since 2021.  Frequency count, mean, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation were utilized in the data analyses. Key findings showed that the average production of sugarcane farms in the Visayas was between 50-64 tons per hectare (TC/ha) when grouped by location (alpha = 0.05). Correlation analysis show that application of correct quantity of lime and mill waste have a strong relationship with production (ɑlpha = 0.01), while the correct lime placement (ɑlpha = 0.05) and practice of green manuring (ɑlpha = 0.01) have a moderate relationship, respectively. For post-harvest innovations, correlation analysis implied that the delivery of freshly cut cane to the mill is strongly correlated with the production.

Abstract

Economically, the sugarcane industry is one of the major sources of dollar income in the Philippines.  It is planted in different types of soil, environments, and cultural management. Sugarcane is a voracious eater of fertilizer. The main purpose of innovating the fertilization activities in the farm is to increase production in order to sustain the sugarcane industry. The study aims to measure the fertilization innovations practice by the farmers that could affect the production of the sugarcane crop in the Philippines. The descriptive method was employed in the study. The instrument used was the validated survey questionnaire used by the group of Oñal in 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) implied that there’s a significant difference in the production of sugarcane among the different locations in the Philippines. Furthermore, the frequency of applying the fertilizers, the correct placement of fertilizers, maximizing the application of N and K elements, and the combo application of organic-inorganic fertilizers implied a high production respectively.  The correct placement of fertilizers and the application of organic-inorganic fertilizers were strongly correlated with sugarcane production but moderately correlated with the level of N and P elements applied. The study revealed that fertilization innovations had a significant relationship in increasing the productivity of the sugarcane crop in the Philippines.
