Economic Efficiency of Organic Milkfish Aquaculture at Guimaras Island
Full text linkThis study was conducted to determine the economic analysis of 19 milkfish aquaculture operators in Guimaras to ascertain profitability, sustainability, and productivity of organic intensive aquaculture. Majority of the milkfish growers were sole proprietors and use extensive production system. Financial performance was measured using Return on Investment (ROI) and Payback Period (PBP) and inferentially described using Pearson’s Chi-Square. The organic intensive milkfish aquaculture production system significantly gained the highest ROI and lowest in PBP, followed by extensive, semi-intensive, and inorganic intensive aquaculture system which significantly gained the lowest return on investment and significantly highest in payback period. The intensive milkfish aquaculture system that introduced organic feeds commensurate a significant higher productivity and profitability compared to other milkfish aquaculture system. Greater efforts are made with respect to the sourcing of organic raw materials for the feed industry for sustainability of the growth of the aquaculture sector in the province and Philippines but its formulations must be further improved for better feed conversion efficiency and to minimize environmental impacts
Growth and Yield Performance of Potted Bell Pepper Applied with Biochar
Full text linkBiochar is a charcoal used as a soil amendment. It is a stable solid, rich in carbon, and can endure in the ground for thousands of years. The process of producing biochar is the same when making charcoal, but with the aid of a modified burner. This study was conducted to determine the growth and yield performance of potted bell pepper using Biochar as soil amendment. The growth parameters were plant height (cm.) and leaf growth while the yield parameters were fruit weight (grams) and fruit diameter (cm.).
The research design was Complete Randomized Design. There was no significant difference in the growth performance during the first data gathering, but the number of leaves showed a significant difference, wherein bell pepper planted on a soil media added with different levels of Biochar showed better performance than those with no Biochar. Furthermore, a significant difference was observed during the second to fourth data gathering for both plant height, and leaves. The potted bell pepper applied with different levels of Biochar showed better performance than those with no Biochar applications.
As to yield performance of bell pepper, the fruit diameter and weight showed a significant difference when because some bell peppers without biochar additive did not bear fruits. Therefore, the different levels of Biochar application as soil amendment significantly resulted in better yield performance of bell pepper up to the fourth harvest. The Biochar applications of up to 3.0 kgs significantly resulted in better growth and yield performance of the potted bell pepper
