Three test entries among the best yielding entries were identified as having an excellent performance (MAT-Transplanted): Index no.
Upland Rice Farmers’ CapabilityAdvancement and Resource Empowerment (Upland Rice FarmCARE): Using
Joel Lumanay, a cooperative farmer, planted eight upland varieties/lines of rice in an area of 100 square meters. Again, we provided upland rice seeds (Dinorado and NSIC Rc9) and seed coming from ATI.
Field performance trial of Macro Nutrient Dense elite lines for irrigated lowland. January to June and July to
Over two cropping seasons, July to December 2014 performed well in terms of yield performance with 51% to 68% yield advantage for the top yield test entries compared to January to June 2014 crops with the amount of fertilizer application at 90-40-70 ( NPK)/ha. Another observation was the effect of weather conditions between the two harvest seasons in which more rainfall during the January to June 2014 harvest gives a lower yield performance to all the test entries.
Evaluation of rice Germplasm for Zinc deficienty tolerance in Caraga Region
For the planting season from July to December 2014, 24 traditional varieties were examined and evaluated with and without the application of zinc oxide and zinc sulfate using the Standard Evaluation System in the evaluation of zinc deficiency based on its signs and symptoms. and phenotypic performance. Another test, simulating zinc deficiency using the pot experiment was also done to double check the tolerance level of the four test accessions (IR64, NSIC Rc122, IR08A183 and IR09N540) without zinc sulfate application.
Multi-Environment Testing for Irrigated Lowland Rice stages 1 and 2
Based on observation in terms of phenotypic acceptability, pest and disease response, eighteen test plots had a good performance comparable to the best control variety (Table 10a). However, it was noted that 42 test entries obtained an average yield of 7.01 to 7.98 t/ha, of which it gave the four best control varieties. Based on observation in terms of phenotypic acceptability, pest and disease response, 18 test plots had a good performance comparable to the best control variety (Table 11a).
For MET stage 0 in medium maturity group, two test entries had a comparable yield with the best control variety NSIC Rc124H (8.05 t/ha) at 2% yield. 119 test entries also showed excellent yield performance ranging from 6.0 t/ha to 7.90 t/ha with good to excellent phenotypic performance comparable to the best control varieties. 31 test plots also showed average yield ranging from 4.44 to 5.99 t/ha with good to excellent phenotypic performance as well.
130 test entries also showed excellent yield performance ranging from 5.03 to 6.96 t/ha with good to excellent phenotypic performance comparable to the best control varieties. 61 test entries yielded comparable to the top four checks ranging from 5.48 to 6.99 t/ha with good to excellent phenotypic performance (Table 13b). Twelve (12) test entries for the medium maturity group achieved an average yield of 4.0 t/ha and above (Table 15a).
For MET stage 2 in medium ripe group, the best check variety NSIC Rc124H (7.26t/ha) outperformed all test entries, although the 22 test entries performed well this season in terms of yield and good to excellent. The yield varies from 5.42t/ha (lowest) to 6.86t/ha of which 3 best check varieties have a comparable yield with the test entries (Table 15b).
Field evaluation of Rice Crop Manager: A comprehensive decision support tool for increasing yield and income for
Field Evaluation of Rice Crop Manager: A Comprehensive Decision Support Tool for Increasing Yield and Income for. Likewise, an agreement was developed with farmers that consists of the area to be used, management of RCM trial area, input provided for the management of RCM field trial, and on the monitoring of the field. Specifically, the following data were collected during the conduct of the field trial in each plot: area for each plot, amount of fertilizer applied in each plot, date of application for each fertilizer used, farm gate price of each fertilizer source, transplanting or sowing date, harvest date , palay yield, soil and crop management practices, frequency of irrigation, pesticide use (type, amount, method of application, frequency and date of application), frequency of weeding (manual and agrochemical use), observed injuries caused by animal pests and diseases.
The yield was determined by marking the three replicates on 2 meter by 2.5 meter or 5 m² harvest areas in each of the three plots. Each palay sample was weighed (fresh weight) to determine the total fresh grain weight of each sample in kilograms to at least one decimal place and further measured the moisture content once for each sample using a moisture meter to determine the grain yield at 14% moisture content. During this season, some places were affected by floods caused by typhoon "Caloy" after an early fertilizer application stage.
Plant damage caused by the worm was also observed, damaging almost 50-100% of the leaves (Figure 13). On the other hand, in the growing season from July to December 2014, a much lower yield was achieved compared to. The lower yield achieved this season could be attributed to unstable weather conditions (heavy rainfall causing flash floods) during the early to active flowering stage and damage to plants by pests and diseases (rat, BLB) (Figure 16).
Rice-prescription experiment for PhilRice Agusan
No significant difference was observed in population of GLH during maximum thrust and boot stage. However, no significant difference was observed in mean population of WBPH at maximum pushing stage from 5.00 populations to 5.67 population/5 stock. However, at the initial stage, the lowest population of WBPH (8.67 adult/hill) was noted in primitive yield treatments at startup stage (Table 17).
However, the use of pesticides in the farmers' practice and the primitive crop resulted in a comparable number of natural enemies in the population (Table 18). The high weed population in the primitive crop treatment contributed significantly to yield loss comparable to the rice and farmer-prescribed treatments. However, no significant difference was observed in the mean population of WBPH with the highest spread rate ranging from 5.00 populations to 5.33 populations/5 examinations (Table 26).
The average population of natural enemies is significantly influenced by the amount of nitrogen applied during the maximum expansion phase. However, farmers' practice of pesticide application and rice prescription resulted in a similar number of natural enemies in the population (Table 27). During the peak population of WSB, the crop status of the farmer practice and the primitive yield treatment were in the flowering stage, while the rice prescription treatment was in the boot stage.
Pest Monitoring and Surveillance System in PhilRice Agusan
Of the major insect pests on rice trapped in daily light, the Rice Black Bug (RBB) had the highest count of over 245,000 last January, and was high again in the month of June. Then in the 2nd growing season it was high in the months of July and December. But it was not alarming because during those months most of our farmers had already harvested their rice harvest.
The population peak of the rice borer (RB) in the first harvest season was in the month of May because that was the time when almost all the rice crop in this location is in reproductive stage. Rice grain bug (RGB) is already present in PhilRice Agusan farms but only in low numbers. It had a peak of 523 last May, for the 1st harvest season; and a highest number of 337 in the month of December for the 2nd copping season of 2014.
The next in number was the diving beetle, with 1,746 in September last year, and a maximum of 690 in July last year. using three PhilRice Agusan farms. Pheromone traps were placed weekly at the station to monitor the population of male white stem borers.

Development of Best Formulation and Utilization of Croton tiglium for Storage Insect Pests Management
It was further noted that the bags applied with 100 grams of croton solutions have a lower stored insect population than the bags applied with 50, 25 grams and the control treatment respectively. Average number of adult storage insects from 1.5 to 6 months after application of different doses of C. Percentage of storage insects that survived from 1.5 to 6 months after application of different doses of C.
These were observed at 1.5 months after application when bags sprayed with 100 g solution had the lowest number of insects preserved alive (20.38%). It was comparable to those bags sprayed with 50g (33.82%) but significantly lower in the 25g and control treatment respectively. A similar trend is observed in the soaked method where those soaked bags at 100 g have the lowest preserved live insects recorded.
Survival increases from 3 to 6 months after application, however, those bags applied with 100 g of croton solutions typically have lower live insects recorded. The present study showed that the seed germination percentage of the four treatments showed no significant differences from 1.5 to 4.5 months after application of croton botanical solutions. It was further observed that 6 months after application, all treatments in the spray method continue to decline ranging from 86 to 89.67%, respectively.
