The present study was conducted in Brgy. Dangcol, Balanga City, Bataan to evaluate the effect of bagging the whole panicle (cluster) of carabao mango fruit with waxed paper bag as compared to traditional method of bagging and without bagging in terms of fruit yield and quality as well as in cost-benefit analysis. Results revealed that fruits bagged per cluster using waxed paper (T3) obtained the highest number of marketable fruits (130.60) and highest total weight of 34.21 kg while the number and weight of XL fruits with no bag (T1) were significantly higher as compared to those bagged in cluster using waxed paper (T3). Insect damage was observed in fruits bagged per cluster using waxed paper bag (T3) while there is a scab in fruit with no bag (T1). Meanwhile, there is a wind scar observed in the two bagging methods (conventional bagging method and fruits bagged per cluster using waxed paper bag). All bagging treatments were comparable in terms of physical and chemical characteristics except for peel color which is lighter green in bagged fruits. In terms of income, mango fruits bagged per cluster using waxed paper bag (T3) had the highest gross income of PhP 3,056.27 while the highest net income and ROI was recorded in fruits bagged in conventional method (T2) earning PhP 616.09 per tree with 27.23% ROI. The conventional method (T2) also obtained the lowest cost per tree (PhP 2,262.36) while the lowest cost per kilogram (PhP 73.05) and cost per fruit (PhP 19.14) was recorded in mango trees bagged per cluster using waxed paper bag (T3).
In a society filled with technology and advancement in the quest for convenience, food production is unlikely to be disregarded as the world continue to find means on securing adequate supply to nourish nations. This study aims to increase production efficiency and profitability of one of the most sought after commodities, mango. A technology demonstration on the application of ICM in the nine (9) community- based model farms was established. As a result of the adopted technology innovations demonstrated by mango farmers in their respective mango farms, the study revealed significant findings on the increase in yield and income by 440% and 586.65%, respectively, after ICM application. It is therefore recommended that the system be institutionalized by LGUs, and appropriate policies be implemented to further provide assistance to small players that comprised the mango industry in the country.
The study was carried out to validate the effect of different flush induction protocol on carabao mango which was conducted in Alion, Mariveles, Bataan, Philippines with the following treatments: no intervention (T1), pruning only (T2), pruning with urea applied in soil (T3), pruning with urea spray (T4), pruning with irrigation (T5), and complete flush induction protocol (T6). Results revealed that providing water hasten the flush induction of mango. The complete flush induction protocol (T6) significantly had the highest flushing percentage and the longest flushing duration. In terms of leaf produced per flush, pruning alone (T2) and pruning with urea spray (T4) equally produced the highest number of leaves per flush having 16 leaves. On the other hand, different flush induction protocols have no direct effect on flush and stem length, stem diameter, flush dry weight, and in the amount of nutrients in the flushes except for total amount of iron.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
