Socorro Irmina This field research was conducted from August to December 2016 at Barangay Agcococ, Tapaz, Capiz, Philippines to determine the effect of foliar fertilizer and vermicast on the growth and yield of okra (Hibiscus esculentus Linn.) and to find out which foliar fertilizer and vermicast combination gave the best growth and highest yield.The experimental design used in the study was Split - Plot Design with treatments replicated three times. The treatments used in the study were the following: Factor A – Foliar Fertilizers consisted of: A1 – Hatake, A2 – Crop Giant, A3 – GrowMax and Factor B – Rates of Vermicast such as: B0 – no vermicast application, B1 – 5,000 kg of vermicast/ha, B2 – 10,000 kg of vermicast/ha. Foliar fertilizer were used as mainplot while rates of vermicast was used as subplot. All sets of data were analyzed using the Analysis of Variance and F-test for Split-Plot Design. Differences among treatment means were determined using DMRT, interpreted at 5% and 1% levels of significance. The growth of okra in terms of height was influenced by both foliar fertilizer and rates of vermicast application. The tallest plants were obtained from plants sprayed with GrowMax and applied with 10,000 kg/ha of vermicast. The yield of okra in terms of the number of fruits was affected by both foliar fertilizer and rates of vermicast applied. The most number of okra fruits were obtained from plants sprayed with Crop Giant and Hatake and applied with 10,000 kg/ha of vermicast. The yield of okra in terms of length of fruits and weight of fruits were not affected by both foliar fertilizer and rates of vermicast. There was no interaction effect observed between foliar fertilizer and rates of vermicast application in all growth and yield parameters measured. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repository.capsu.edu.ph/handle/123456789/124 Upland rice (oryza sativa l.) farming practices in the Province of Aklan Launio, Ramona; Latoza, Rector John; Albaladejo, Veronica; Launio, Federito One of the principles of management is to know the situation and development of the place and its people. Along with this, the documentation of indigenous knowledge is needed to know the culture, and as a basis for decision-making of the planned development. This research documents indigenous farming practices. This research was conducted in the upland municipalities of the Province of Aklan, namely: Altavas, Libacao and Madalag during the first and second quarters of 2013. A sample size of 203 was randomly taken and scheduled for the interview in the data collection. All the information gathered were consolidated and analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations. The result of this study describes the farming practices of upland rice farmers in the Province of Aklan. It is usually the head of the family i.e fathers and husbands who are more indulged in farming upland rice. These upland rice crops are planted mostly once a year and are done in the months of March or April. Most farmers grow upland rice with other crops to maximize space, increase productivity and have a variety of farm products. Due to the limited produce of upland rice, farmers use trampling of feet to thresh their crop. And since most of these farmers grow upland rice once a year, a greater portion of their harvest is reserved for home consumption. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z
