Moringa research and development project at Central Philippine University: Progress, challenges and opportunities
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2021-04-15)
Moringa is a common backyard tree crop in the Philippines and is grown by many home owners as a source of green leafy vegetable. Although moringa is a popular crop, little research studies have been conducted in central Philippines. The College of Agriculture, Resources and Environmental Sciences at Central Philippine University initiated a research project in 2009 to: 1) identify and evaluate promising cultivars of moringa adapted to the growing conditions of Western Visayas and 2) develop improved crop management practices for increasing yield and production. Germplasm collection and evaluation identified promising cultivars with desirable horticultural characteristics from India, Laos, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand and USA. From this field evaluation one promising cultivar, 'PKM-1' from India, was grown at four plant densities to determine leaf biomass production as influenced by plant density and harvest frequency. Maximum plant density of 40,000 plants ha<sup>-1</sup> and harvest frequency of 8 week intervals produced a high leaf biomass yield. A separate study was conducted to determine and compare the nutritional quality of Moringa oleifera and Moringa peregrina. Significant differences in calcium, iron and anti-oxidant activity were found between the species. Moringa oleifera 'PKM-1' contained higher calcium and iron than M. peregrina. Training workshops and seminars were conducted to transfer the technology and educate farmers on the multiple uses and benefits of moringa. The university has established linkages with the World Vegetable Center (Taiwan), Department of Agriculture and local NGOs in promoting moringa as a high-value crop. The university has proposed to organize a regional R&D center for moringa to address the challenges and opportunities facing moringa growers in areas of improved cultivars, seed production and propagation, crop management practices, post-harvest processing and quality, marketing and value chain enhancement....
The moringa industry in the Philippines: Status, challenges and opportunities
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2017-05-09)
Moringa is one of the world's most useful trees and in the Philippines almost all parts of the plant are used for food and traditional medicine. Various research and development efforts are currently focused on food ...
The role of Moringa oleifera in agro-ecosystems: A review
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2021-03)
Moringa has been grown and cultivated in various agro-ecosystems ranging from small-scale backyard home gardens to large scale commercial production in tropical and sub-tropical agro-climatic ecosystems. It is grown in ...
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 ...
