Biomass yield of Moringa oleifera as influenced by plant density and harvest frequency
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2017-05-09)
This study was conducted to determine the leaf biomass of moringa as influenced by plant density and frequency of pruning. Moringa plants were grown at four plant spacings and densities: a) 1×1 m (10,000 plants ha<sup>-1</sup> ...
The influence of silica and nitrogen fertilization on growth and yield of Peta and Chianung 242 lowland rice varieties
(1965)
Rice culture will remain the focus of agricultural research in Asia until more of the countries become self-sufficient in this crop. More scientific results from laboratory and field experiments must be pooled and applied ...
Physiological responses of cockerels given crude mimosine acid extract (CMAE) and exogenous gonadotrophins
(1979)
A 2 x 4 factorial experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of crude mimosine acid extract (CMAE) with or without exogenous gonadotrophins on the physiological responses of the cockerels; and to verify whether ...
The validity and reliability estimates of communication value orientation test
(1989)
The study sought to establish a relatively reliable and valid communication value orientation (CVO) test and build a theory using CVO as the focal point.
The study was conducted in two villages of Iloilo using a complete ...
The nutrient composition, digestibility and nitrogen retention by sheep of four vacuum-ensiled grasses
(1969)
The chemical composition of forage or any other feedstuff is a very useful but insufficient information on which to judge its nutritive value for a particular class of livestock. To get a better index, it is necessary to ...
Growth, yield and nutrient concentration of two rice varieties treated with four levels of salt and nitrogen
(1984)
The effect of NaCl and nitrogen on the soil solution EC and pH; and on the growth, yield, and nutrient concentration of IR52 and IR26 rice varieties were studied in a pot experiment in the screenhouse of the Department of ...
The influence of row spacing, nitrogen and potassium applications and harvest age on alcohol yield of Phil 6607
(1983)
A field experiment was conducted at PHILSUCOM, La Granja, La Carlota City from December 1980 to December 1981 to determine the effects of row spacing, nitrogen and potassium applications and age of canes at harvest on ...
Survival of completely submerged rice plants
(1970)
The survival of rice plant under completely submerged condition is influenced by the duration of submergence, water temperature, water turbidity, light intensity, water depth, stage of growth, variety and nitrogen level.

Adaptability and horticultural characterization of different moringa accessions in Central Philippines
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2017-05-29)
Eighteen moringa accessions from AVRDC - The World Vegetable Center were evaluated for their adaptability and horticultural characteristics in an observational trial at Central Philippine University, Iloilo City, Philippines from June 2009 to May 2012. The accessions originated from India, Laos, Philippines, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand and USA. Eight accessions had 100% germination, another eight had 80% while two accessions from Thailand had only 40% germination. All seeds that germinated developed into healthy seedlings with 75 to 100% survival. At 28 weeks after second pruning, accessions Mo-2 (USA) and Mo-40 (India) were the tallest whereas Mo-34 (India) was the shortest. Mean stem diameter ranged from 3.5 (Mo-34) to 8.5 cm (Mo-4, Thailand). Mo-38 (Thailand) had the most branches, whereas Mo-33 (Philippines) had the least. Two accessions from Thailand (Mo-4 and Mo-14) had the highest leaf fresh weight. However, Mo-6 (Thailand) produced the highest percent dry matter. Of the 18 accessions, only 11 developed flowers which started to appear 49 to 93 days after transplanting (DAT). Of these 11 accessions, only 9 produced pods which developed from 75 to 182 DAT. Mo-3 (Taiwan) developed the most pods but Mo-34 produced the most seeds one year after planting. Three years after planting, all the accessions except Mo-4 and Mo-6 developed flowers, pods and seeds with Mo-38 producing the most seeds per pod and Mo-15 having the most seeds per tree. Red mites (Tetranychus urticae), defoliators, leaf-footed bug (Leptoglossus phyllopus) and whiteflies (Bemisia sp.) were present in the field but caused only minor damage to plants. Stem rot was the only pathogenic disease observed. These results indicate that Mo-4 and Mo-14 are ideal for fresh leaves whereas Mo-2 and Mo-6 are ideal for dry matter production. Furthermore, Mo-15, Mo-7, Mo-9 and Mo-34 are desirable accessions for seed production....
Recycling potentials of biomass wastes into briquettes: The case of UCLA in Iloilo City, Philippines
(Hilaris, 2018)
