(Central Philippine University, 2012-6)
This study was carried-out to determine the early growth response of Beauty Leaf (Calophyllum inophyllum L.) to five biofertilizers namely Azotobacter, Bio Green, MyKo Vam, Vam Root Inoculant, and Bio N when compared with ...
Identification and collection of indigenous medicinal plants in Barangay Agsalanan, Dingle, Province of Iloilo
(Central Philippine University, 2007-10)
This botanical survey was carried out to classify and identify the indigenous medicinal plants that thrive in Barangay Agsalanan, Dingle, Iloilo and assess their medicinal uses and conservation status, frequency and percentage were the only statistics used in the study. Results showed that 155 plant species are under the 137 genera and 61 families of which 31.61 %, 34.19%, 21.29%, 7.09%, 3.23%, 1.94%, and 0.65% were trees, herbs, shrubs, vines/climbers, grasses, palms, and a sedge, respectively. A relatively higher number of medicinal species belong to Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Solanaceae, Lamiacea, Poaceae and Verbenaceae families. The medicinal uses range from treatment of a simple skin irritation to a deadly tumor and human cancer. Those reported to have anti-cancer property include, among others, Kalauag (Curcuma longa Linn.), Tsaang gubat (Carmona retusa (Vohl.) Masam), Bamban (Donax cannaeformis (Forst, f.) K. Schum), Rosas de Baybayon (Catharanthus roseus L.), Pandakaki (Tabernaemontana pandacaqui Poir), Lomboy (Syzygium cuminii (L.) Skeels), Bulubito-on (Barringtonia asiatica (Linn.) Kurz.), and Niyog (Cocos nucifera L.). At least 59 (38.06 %) were found to be endangered, threatened, depleted, or vulnerable plant species. Meanwhile, 83 (53.55%) plant species have been assessed as abundant and 13 (8.39 %) were indeterminate in terms of conservation status....
Terrestrial macrophytes assessment in Camp Higher Ground, Barotac Viejo, Province of Iloilo, Philippines
(Central Philippine University, 2018-12)
This study was conducted to establish baseline data on the terrestrial macrophytes in Camp Higher Ground (CHG), Brgy. San Nicolas, Barotac Viejo, Iloilo. Specifically, this study determined the terrestrial macrophyte level of plant community diversity measured in terms of species richness, species composition, and relative abundance, and determined the conservation status of plant species in the area as a logical step in protecting the threatened species from possible extinction. The assessment was done on September 2017 – January 2018 employing the descriptive survey method. Data were collected from the 1000m<sup>2</sup> sampling area composed of 10 quadrants each measuring 10 x 10 m<sup>2</sup>. There were 123 plant species recorded that belong to 100 genera and 61 families. Results revealed that trees were 56.9%; shrubs, 13.8%; vines, 13.0%; herbs, 7.3%; ferns, 5.7%; and palms, 3.3%. Shannon-Weinner Diversity index for CHG was high (H’=3.867). Thirty-one, 31 (25.2%) macrophytes were categorized threatened. Among these, two were critically endangered: Agboi (Mussaenda philippica L.C. Rich.) and Bugauak morado (Clerodendrum quadriloculare (Blanco) Merr.). The endangered species were Duklitan (Planchonella duclitan (Blco.) Bakh. f.), Bahai (Ormosia calavensis Azaola), and Salingogon (Cratoxylum formosum Benth & Hooker). However, 30 (24.3 %) plant species were considered endemic. During the conduct of the study, some forest clearing, wood harvesting, and minor charcoal-making operations were discovered which posed threats to this natural habitat especially of threatened and endemic macrophytes. Proper conservation program should be implemented by the CHG management to prevent further biodiversity loss....
