There has been a steady growth in the number of participants in the division's training program. Forty-five former students of the Agricultural Machinery and Safety for Young Farmers course were interviewed. After returning from Japan, most young farmers had agricultural jobs.
Classification of PhilRice-developed technologies and completion of the list of technologies possible for assessment and commercialization. It is mainly intended for pupils' observation and familiarization with the growth stages of the rice plant.

For mechanical transplanting, seeds were sown in seedling trays and transplanted 17 days after sowing. The yields obtained are 5.32t/ha for broadcast sowing, 4.7t/ha for drum sowing and 5.12t/ha for mechanical sowing. An area of 1000 m2 was maintained during the season and served as a demonstration area for field machinery such as the mechanical transplanter during Lakbay-Palay 2016, held from 15 to 16 September 2016.

Taking a value chain approach to rural development addresses the key constraints and opportunities facing farmers and producers, processors, traders and other businesses at multiple levels along a given value chain. Using a value chain approach, however, requires a connected range of groups or stakeholders and other players working together to satisfy market demands for a particular product or set of products. Through the value chain approach, it is expected that farmers' organizations will be empowered to achieve competitiveness.
The research aims to develop a business model in rice farming by mobilizing the value chain enablers on the ground. For the 2016 dry season, a total of 60 bags of certified seeds (NSIC Rc216 and 160), covering approximately 48 ha, were distributed to 43 members of the BANERLE Agrarian Reform Community in Sta. The partner agencies tapped to collaborate in project implementation were as follows: Office of the Provincial Agronomist (OPAg), Ministry of Agriculture-Regional Field Office 1 (DA-RFO1), Pangasinan Rice Processing Complex (PRPC), and Local Government Unit ( LGU) Sta.
Twenty-nine percent (29%) of the production of farmers participating in BANERLE ARC was sold to PRPC.
Externally Funded Projects
The main reason for the decrease in yield was the occurrence of rice blight and lack of water in the growing area. Most of the participants did not plant for DS 2016, as they were informed about the water disconnection due to canal rehabilitation. Farmers who planted rice saw their yields reduced mainly due to inadequate water supply.
Attack by pests such as rice beetle (RBB) and stem borer also contributed to the reduction in yield. In Lambayong, Sultan Kudarat, it was found that there are more RBB and stembors in the dry season than in the wet season. However, the fungus dies without sufficient water, so the use of Metarhizium with Podimid, where there is not enough water, was not effective.
Most of these agricultural machines fall into the category of small purchases and 77% of them have already been supplied to IAs. Rice technicians presented overall project performance, including the number of PDFs prepared, FFSs executed, and the number of machines purchased and delivered. Most importantly, the yield and production costs of the participating farmers were part of the data collected and consolidated to further assess the impact of the project on the beneficiary farmers.
Issues related to the implementation of the project were also discussed and clarified, especially regarding payment terms for the agricultural machinery.
Science and Technology Community-Based Farm (STCBF) on Rice Integrated Crop Management in Increasing Farmer’s
Science and Technology Community Based Farm (STCBF) on Rice Integrated Crop Management in Increasing Farmers. Science and Technology Model Farm on Integrated Rice and Rice-based Package of Technology Project. This year (2016), PCAARRD funded another transformation project STMF on Rice and Rice-based POT in similar municipality.
The project demonstrates the economic benefits of introducing integrated rice-based POT on a commercial scale of rice and rice-based products. Additional capacity to the trained farmer-cooperator and farmer-users with improved rice and rice-based production package of technology. Coordinate and conduct field trips and seminar series of various package of technologies for rice based agriculture and.
Establishment of 20 ha of rice cultivation area by adoption of ICM rice and rice based technology package. Project activities, strategies, rice-based components, technical and financial soundness of the project were discussed and finalized during the stakeholders meeting at the PhilRice CES last March 25, 2016. Exposed trips to technology agents and transporters of rice and rice products science in the City of Science Muñoz, Nueva Ecija.
Training Implementation: (a) Training in "Sustainable Vegetable Production and Marketing"; and (b) Rice-fish technology and tilapia culture.
Enhancing Local Community and Enterprise Building in Farming Communities (Heirloom rice Project)
A total of 124 varieties collected in 7 municipalities of CAR, 2 municipalities of North Cotabato, and 1 municipality in SK grown in more or less 1000 sq. Established a total of (12) demonstration and seed production farms for farmers' preferred varieties with an average yield of 2-3 tons per ha (Kalinga-Chong-ak and Ulikan;. Twelve (12) training study groups with an average of 25 to 35 participating farmers are organized in 7 municipalities of CAR, 2 municipalities in North Cotabato, and 1 from Sultan Kudarat.
Developed a Farmer Field School Curriculum Guide used at all project sites in CAR and Region 12. Potential seed producers of premium heirloom rice varieties are tapped and linked to market chains both local and international. Practical activities regarding organic foliar fertilizer fermentations (fermented fruit and plant juice, oriented herbal nutrient, snail and fish amino acid) and indigenous microorganisms were carried out at each site to obtain a supplementary source of plant nutrients.
Conducted testing and evaluation of mechanical interventions such as micro mill (with float), plume thresher and mini thresher across 11 SHGs in CAR. Continued development of a PalayCheck system for organic rice production in the Highlands, a site-specific technology, which integrates the best agricultural practices in the area. Ongoing data collection and consolidation of production cost analysis using the Heirloom Rice Production Guide, designed for identified farmers working with each location.
Completion of area measurement using Global Positioning System (GPS) carried out at all project sites in CAR and Region XII.
