d. Pearl Production in Freshwater Net Cages

The study, located at Lake Oro, Esperanza, Agusan del Sur,aimed to determine the viability of freshwater pearl production andexamine the quality of pearl produced in freshwater net cages.

The study utilizes three treatments and arranged inCompletely Randomized Design (CRD) as follows: Treatment I (1irritant / mussel), Treatment II (2 irritants / mussel) and Treatment III (3irritants / mussel). The method used was blister pearl operation.

Impregnated mussels were monitored periodically. Monthly samplingwas done and in February 2007, mortality was observed in all cages,allegedly caused by physiological stress during impregnation and highwater turbidity due to continuous flooding.

Replacement of dead mussels was done and monitoring

e. Induced Spawning and Fingerling Production of Native Catfish

f. Freshwater Eel Culture In Concrete Tanks

The study was on its second year of implementation. It aimedto produce native catfish fingerlings thru induced spawning. In 2006,about 4,000 pieces of native catfish fingerlings were produced. About50 % of these in 2007 were distributed to fish farmers and the rest werestocked in ponds for broodstock development.

In 2007, about 5,000 catfish fingerlings were produced. Lowfingerling production was noted due to limited breeder stocks. Inaddition, breeders appeared to have low performance in terms offertilization, hatching and survival rate.

The study intends to determine the growth and survival ofraising freshwater eel in tanks in Agusan del Sur condition. The projectis located at the Provincial Fish Hatchery.

As of December 2007, of the 500pieces of elvers stocked sometime inSeptember 2006, only 85 pieces or 17 %survived. High mortality rate allegedlyattributed to physiological stress and fungalinfection.

Sampling observations showedthat elvers, which were sourced fromGeneral Santos City appeared to have avery slow growth with an average weight of4.65 grams and 12 cm in length in 14months.

Out of 74 pieces of gravid catfish breeders injected withpituitary gland hormone, only 33 pieces or 44 % responded andinduced to spawn with an average hatching rate of 32 %. The rest ofthe breeders did not show signs of ovulation.

Low fertilization and hatching rate of eggs were attributed toinsufficient milt or sperm of male breeders to fertilize stripped eggs.Moreover, microbial and water quality deterioration somehowcontributed to low production performance.

In coordination with the BureauofAgricultural Research and BFAR, threedemo ponds were established in theprovince particularly in Sta. Fe,Esperanza and Kapatungan and Basa inTrento.

The techno demo aimed todetermine the growth and survival ofmilkfish in freshwater ponds underAgusan del Sur condition and to evaluatethe economic viability of raising milkfishin freshwater replicated in different sites.

Stocking of bangus fingerlings were undertaken on November10 and 21, 2006. Pond development and construction werecounterparted by farmers / cooperators while farm inputs for onecropping were provided by the BAR / BFAR. Monthly sampling andgathering of data and other selected parameters were regularlyundertaken to monitor the progress of the project. The project will beharvested after 5 months of culture.

Average finalweight under Treatment B in three sites was recorded at 173.38 gramswhile Treatment A was at 113.87 grams only. Result in Treatment Bwas probably enhanced by the abundance of natural food which favorsgrowth of fish.

In terms of survival, among the tree sites, Sta. Fe - Esperanzagave the highest results with 98 % both for two treatments. Totalproduction in the area was 145 kilos valued at P 13,775.00 at P95.00/kilo.Average survival rate in three sites was 58 % for treatmentAand 55 % for treatment B.

Result of the study is not conclusive, hence, another trial isrecommended.

As observed during the whole duration of culture, thickvegetative appearance on lake surface greatly affected production ofnatural foods, the dissolved oxygen content was below the requiredtolerable limit so with the required depth of water. With theseconditions, the area is apparently not feasible for fish cage production;hence the project will be temporarily stopped in 2008.

Negotiation with the Municipal LGU will be made next yearsuch that the area will be cleaned from undesirable vegetations.

The above data showed that Predencio Bartolome of Trentogot the highest yield in two croppings. It is noted that production costper hectare decreased from P 19,130.00 in 2006 to P 8,793.00 in 2007.Farmer - cooperators this year no longer buy organic fertilizer, insteadthey produced their own by spreading rice straw and sprayed withXEMAS. The use of leaf color chart also guided farmers for rational useof inorganic fertilizer especially nitrogen.

Data obtained from techno demo farms for the year gave apromising result.

c. Farmer-Led Extension (FLE) Techno Demo

Farmer-Led Extension (FLE) is an innovative approach ofextension delivery system that empowers selected farmer-leaders andenhances their capabilities in the dissemination of improved productiontechnologies among other farmer-stakeholders. The approach is aneffective tool, farmer-leaders are trained as extensionists where theycould share their expertise based on hands-on experience.

On its first year of implementation, FLE involves nine sites inthree municipalities in the first cropping and 14 sites in fourmunicipalities in the second cropping. Lowest yield recorded was 4.86MT per hectare in Villapaz, La Paz. The area was 40-45 % damaged bystem borer infestation. Delay on delivery of inputs resulted to lateplanting.

Table 33 & 34 showed a better performance in terms ofproduction per hectare and corresponding income generated. On theaverage, farmer - cooperators gained more than fifty thousand netincome.

d. Modified Rapid Composting

e. Chinese Rice Hybrid Techno Demo

Modified Rapid Composting (MRC) is initiated by the Bureau ofSoils and Water Management (BSWM) through Organic BasedAgricultural Development Program (Agri- Kalikasan). One of thecomponents is the rice composting and nutrient recycling (Balik Patabasa Kabukiran). The program focused on production of on farmcompost using rice straw with the aid of trichoderma, a fungus thathastens decomposition of bio-mass or farm wastes to only 21 - 28 days.The project started in the second cropping of the year where 31 farmersof Trento have applied in their respective field.

The project is funded by Philippine-Sino Center forAgricultural Technology (PhilSCAT). It used LP0330 and LP0331Chinese hybrid rice varieties, which will be tested for three years.

Only 1 farmer - cooperator, Mr. Edwin Tabano, wasconsidered. Each variety was tested in a 1 - hectare area located inCahian, Trento.

On October 18, 2007, field day was held and no less than thevice leader for Chinese hybrid group, Mr. Wang Chuntao attended theactivity.

As reflected in the above table, better results were gained, thus,more demos will be tested next year.
