A study of the physiological characteristics of Peta rice variety in relation to time of nitrogen fertilization
Palada, Manuel C.
The purpose of this study was to know the physiological characteristics of Peta rice variety as influenced by the time of nitrogen fertilization. The importance of this study was to help the farmers know the proper time of applying nitrogen fertilizer to their rice crop.
A Randomized Complete Block Design was used in this study. There were nine treatments replicated five times.
The treatments consisted of the following time of nitrogen applications from seeding: A—three and six weeks, B—three and seven weeks, C—three and eight weeks, D—three and nine weeks, E—three and ten weeks, F—three and eleven weeks, G—three and twelve weeks, H—three and thirteen weeks, and I—control (no fertilization).
The rice plants were planted in pots and were observed from seeding to maturity. The significant findings were as follows:
1. That the first nitrogen application increased tillering.
2. That two weeks after first nitrogen application height of plants increased.
3. That the panicle emergence and maturity of plants were greatly affected by the second nitrogen application.
4. That number of panicles was highest when nitrogen was applied three and nine weeks from seeding.
5. That grain yield in plants fertilized three and nine weeks from seeding gave the highest yield among all treatments.

The effect of intermittent feeding on the general performance of laying quails
Lao, Mark Levi
The study was conducted at Brgy. Ma. Cristina, Jaro, Iloilo City from February 12 to March 19, 2011. The experiment was done to evaluate the general performance of laying quails as influenced by intermittent feeding. The experimental treatments included once a day, twice a day, thrice a day, and ad libitum feeding. The results revealed that quails in the ad libitum treatment had significantly (0.05) the highest feed consumption (2.21kg), laid the most eggs (105), had the highest average laying percentage (97.21%), the most productive (laying 0.97 egg per day per hen) and had the highest net profit of Php. 162.98. On the other hand, birds fed only once a day had significantly the lowest feed consumption (0.680kg), laid the least eggs (0), had lowest average laying percentage (7.23%), were the least productive (did not produce any eggs in the 2nd to 5th week) and had a net loss of Php. 130.32.

Dy hog farm
Flores, Floryn Y.
The piggery of Mr. Dominador Dy, Jr. is situated in his one hectare farm in Barangay Esperanza, Culasi, Antique, about three kilometers away from the town proper of said municipality. The location is an ideal site for hog raising since it has no neighborhood, has sufficient potable water supply, and enough space for future expansion added by its accessibility, which is more or less fifty meters away from the highway (Exhibit 1).
The owner is a medical technology graduate from one of the prestigious schools in Cebu City. He had vast experience in the field of marketing. From a junior salesman, he was promoted to senior salesman, supervisor, district manager, and finally as regional manager of a well known drug company. After his retirement in 1995, he returned to his hometown, ventured in some small businesses but was lured to join politics and was once elected as Sangguniang Bayan Member of Culasi, Antique for one term. During the last 2004 elections, he ran for mayor but lost to the now incumbent mayor of the town.
The hog raising business was initiated by his eldest son in year 2003, who after graduation from college, was not able to land a job. However, after a year of operation, he got bored and left the business to his parents to seek for a job in Manila. The timing was good because it was after the 2004 elections and Mr. Dy was already idle by then.
With the father’s takeover, the business expanded and a once small piggery with about 30-40 heads, tripled in hog population. Mr. Dy got his source of funds from his personal money. He started with the initial investment of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Pesos (P350,000.00). As Mr. Dy employed only one helper, he himself devoted more time to his piggery and was forced to build a residential house nearby where he and his wife are now staying except on certain occasions when they have to stay at their ancestral home in the poblacion.

The effect of different compost materials on the growth and yield of potted pechay
Caballero, Christine Joy Celeste
The study was conducted from December 8, 2007 to January 16, 2008 at the vacant space at the back of the College of Agriculture, Central Philippine University, Jaro, Iloilo City. The objective of the study was to determine the efficacy of the different compost materials on the growth and yield of potted pechay.
The experimental treatments were laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The experimental treatments consisted of compost made from cogon grass, hagonoy shoots, rice straw and sugarcane leaves, commercial compost, inorganic fertilizer and; the control (no fertilizer).
Results of the study revealed that the periodic number of leaves plant height, and length of leaves were significantly influenced by the different fertilizers applied except data taken at two weeks after thinning (WAT). The final data recorded on the fourth week after thinning showed that plants fertilized with inorganic fertilizer had consistently produced the most number of leaves, the tallest and the longest leaf measurement. Statistical analysis showed that those plants treated with inorganic fertilizer had the most number of marketable plants and were significantly comparable to those plants fertilized with hagonoy. The highest yield of 11,350.00 kg/ha was obtained from plants applied with inorganic fertilizer. The lowest yields were obtained from plants fertilized with commercial compost, cogon and sugarcane leaves. These yields are below the reported average production of pechay.
