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....

A comparative study on the effectiveness of nature farming and conventional farming technologies on the growth and yield of Dapit-saka rice selection
(Central Philippine University, 2007-10)
The agronomic characteristics and yield of Dapit Saka rice selection grown using the conventional farming and nature farming methods were compared and the effect of the different nature farming concoctions against rice pests and natural enemies were evaluated from November 2002 to February 2003 in Bongco, Pototan, Iloilo. Results revealed that rice whorl maggots (Hydrellia philippina), white leafhoppers (Cofana spectra), green leafhoppers (Nephotettix virescens), brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens), rice stemborers (Scirpophaga innotata) and grasshoppers (Oxya hyla intricata) were found feeding on rice. Natural enemies observed included a mirid bug (Cyrtorhinus lividipennis), lady beetle (Micraspis crocea), damselfly (Agriocnemis spp.), ground beetle (Ophionea nigrofasciata), vespid wasp and spiders (Lynx spiders, Oxyopes spp.; dwarf spider, Atypena formosana; Orb spider, Argiope catenulata; and long-jawed spider, Tetragnatha maxillosa). It was noted that the use of nature farming technology and the absence of pesticides in the control resulted in more natural enemies. However, plants grown in conventional farming were significantly taller, had the most number of tillers, and heaviest panicles. These resulted in the highest grain yield of 3,466 kg/ha, a net income of P19,643.00 and an ROI of 130.80 % . These values exceeded those of plants in the nature farming technology by 1,641 kg/ha, P 5,612.65 and 25.80%, respectively....
