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....
A study on the invertebrate and vertebrate biodiversity of the Jalaur River system of Iloilo, Panay, Philippines
(Silliman University, 2010-01)
This study, conducted from July to November 2009, aimed to explore the diversity of large aquatic and terrestrial organisms found in microhabitats along the Jalaur River System on Panay Island, Philippines. We adopted a purposive sampling approach using several collection techniques appropriate to particular taxa or group of taxa. These include the netting method for birds and bats, cruising and transect methods for herpetofauna, gill-net fishing for aquatic vertebrates and quadrat method for macro- invertebrates. Data were analyzed for species richness (S) and relative abundance, and for fish, catch per unit effort (CPUE) and income per unit effort (IPUE). Three areas, representing the upper, middle, and lower portions of the river, served as the sampling sites. The results of the study show that there are at least 106 species of terrestrial vertebrates and about 71 species of aquatic vertebrates and macro-invertebrates in the area. These include 22 endemic species of terrestrial vertebrates, a new Philippine record of the goby Trypauchenopsis intermedia and an undescribed goby of the genus Rhinogobius. Of the 51 species of fish observed in the area, 36 species (70.59%) are known to inhabit marine and brackish water habitats, while 14 species (27.45%) inhabit freshwater. Only one catadromous species of fish, Anguilla marmorata, was observed in the area. The study also identified nine exotic species of fish and two species of freshwater mollusks are harvested in the area. The terrestrial vertebrate species diversity appears to be depauperate....

Environmental effects on the resistance of rice seedlings to complete submergence
(Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), 1972-03-01)
The survival of rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L.) after complete Submergence in water decreased with increased duration of submergence; with increased depth, temperature, and turbidity of water; and with increased rates of N fertilization. Survival increased with high light intensity and plant carbohydrate content. Factors that influence the survival of submerged plants also determine the amounts of N and carbohydrate in the plant....
