The study was conducted to determine the effect of plant spacing on the performance of peanut applied with guano phosphate and vermicompost, on November 9, 2018 to February 7, 2019 with the following objectives: to determine the effect of plant spacing and application of guano phosphate and vermicompost on the growth of peanut; to find out the effect of plant spacing and application of guano phosphate and vermicompost on the yield of peanut; to determine the interaction effects between plant spacing and application of guano phosphate and vermicompost on the growth and yield of peanut; and to determine the economic analysis of growing peanut at different plant spacing and application of guano phosphate and vermicompost. The experiment was laid out in a two-factor Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) replicated three times with three plant spacings as the Factor A, and three levels of guano phosphate and vermicompost, and a control as Factor B. It revealed that plant spacing and application of guano phosphate and vermicompost had no significant effect on the growth and yield of peanut. Likewise, there were no interaction effects exhibited between plant spacing and level of guano and vermicompost on the growth and yield component of peanut. Plant spacing of 20 cm x 50 cm and vermicompost in peanut can be adopted to obtain higher Return of Investment (ROI).

The study was conducted at the experimental area of Capiz State University Pontevedra Campus which started October 24, 2018 to January 22, 2019. It aimed to determine the pest occurrence of insect pest species and performance of corn as affected by the different mangrove extracts and levels of application such as Excoecaria agallocha, Avecinnia officinalis and Rhizophora mucronata. This study used the two-factor in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The parameters on data gathering were insect pest occurrence, growth, and yield of OPV sweet corn variety. The result on the selected mangrove plant, R. mucronata shows a highly significant difference in the percentage damage as well as in the number of pest which infected the corn. Mortality of insect pests show a highly significant difference, specifically during week two (2) to week five (5) after the application of the mangrove extracts. Furthermore, pest insect occurrences were observed inclusively in week two (2) to week six (6). The height of corn at forty-five and sixty DAP showed a high significant difference as affected by the selected mangrove. Weight of ears was found highly significant, as well as the diameter of ear. The weights of ear with husk, dehusk corn ear, and biomass revealed a highly significant difference as to the selected mangrove application regardless of the variation of concentration of plant extracts. No Interaction effects were noted on the growth and yield of corn as influenced by the different selected mangrove extracts and levels of application. Abstract only 2019-04-01T00:00:00Z
