The study was conducted to develop nutrient management strategies for carrot in farms under conversion to organic production. Specifically, the study determined: 1) the effects of formulated organic liquid plant supplements on the growth and yield of carrot in farm under conversion to organic production, 2) the best rate of the formulated organic liquid plant supplements for the production of carrot in farm under conversion to organic production, and 3) the effects of the formulated organic liquid plant supplements on some physical and chemical properties of the soil in farm under conversion to organic production. The effect of the different rates of formulated organic liquid plant supplements on carrot grown in a farm under conversion to organic production differed significantly in terms of the marketable and total yield of carrots. Application of formulated organic liquid plant supplements at the rate of 70:20:10, 20:70:10, and 10:20:70 during seedling, vegetative, and root bulking stage, respectively, produced the highest marketable and total yield. Application of formulated organic liquid plant supplements significantly affected the organic matter and total nitrogen content of the soil in farm under conversion to organic production wherein the rate 80:10:10 (SS)/ 10:80:10 (VS)/ 10:10:80 (RB) resulted to the highest organic matter content of the soil after harvest. The application of formulated organic liquid plant supplements at different rates did not differ significantly in terms of plant height, insect pest infestation, and powdery mildew infection, soil bulk density, soil pH, available phosphorus content, and potassium content. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.bsu.edu.ph/handle/123456789/75 Sweetpotato product development: Modified yoghurt, hopia and vinegar Botangen, Esther T.; Mama-o, Joyce K.; Gonzales, Ines C. Three sweetpotato entries namely JO6 30-3 (yellow colored flesh), Immitlog (orange colored flesh) and Haponita (violet colored flesh) were evaluated for their acceptability when added to yoghurt as flavoring hopia as filling and vinegar as fermenting material. The product development was done from October 2010 to July 2013.The varieties were found to be acceptable for the production of yoghurt, hopia and vinegar. Yoghurt and hopia has good taste, sugar just right and texture is smooth for yoghurt. Sweetpotato yoghurt can have a shelf-life of one month under refrigerated condition, hopia for seven days under room temperature conditions ranging from 24 – 26 °C and relative humidity from 70-80%. Vinegar is acceptable at six months but has a better taste when aged longer, one year or more with a pH of 3.4. Addition of yellow, orange and violet fleshed sweetpotato increases energy, carbohydrates, vitamin A and calcium of yoghurt and vitamin A and calcium of hopia.With an estimated production cost of Php 33.06, Php 25.78, and Php 23.98 for yoghurt, hopia and vinegar, the computed return on cash expense for yoghurt is 25.52%, 25.10% for hopia and 25.13% for vinegar if the wholesale price is PhP 41.50 (yoghurt), PhP 32.25 (hopia) and Php30 (vinegar). 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.bsu.edu.ph/handle/123456789/72 Rasch analysis of the NBC 461 instrument for faculty evaluation Lubrica, Maria Azucena B.; Lubrica, Joel V. Responses of university students to a 20-item Student Evaluation of Faculty Instrument having a 5-point Likert-type scale were analyzed through Rasch Measurement Theory. The primary aims were to determine: a) the reliability of the Instrument in measuring faculty performance; and, if each item in the Instrument can be considered as an indicator of performance. Participants were from 882 students of various degree programs in Benguet State University, who rated 7 teachers. Results revealed that, as a whole, the Instrument was reliable and that seventeen of the items can be considered as independent indicators of performance. The other three items might need to be re-phrased so that they can also become indicators. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.bsu.edu.ph/handle/123456789/70 Performance of new sweetpotato entries under La Trinidad, Benguet conditions Gonzales, Ines C.; Botangen, Esther T.; Simongo, Donita K. Twelve sweet potato entries namely; J06-11-10, JK 18-4, JK 7-4, JK 23-1, J06-30-3, JK 6-11-12, Sg02-07-05, Sg02-05-01, Sg02-05-01, Sg98-16-02, Sg03-09-01, Sg02-06-02, Sg02-13-02 and two (2) check varieties NSIC 30 and NSIC 31 were evaluated for its yield performance and acceptability under La Trinidad conditions for dry and wet season trials from 2009-2011. Results showed that Sg02-07-05, Sg98-16-02, J06-11-10 had the highest yield with 24.18 t ha-1, 22.39 t ha-1 and 20.04t ha-1respectively. SG 02-07-05 significantly outyielded the check variety NSIC 31. Based on the sensory evaluation J06-11-10 was the third top highest yielder. Sg02-05-01, JK 18-4, JK 7-4, Sg02-06-02, JK 23-1, J06-30-3, Sg02-13-02, (NSIC 20 as check variety) were found highly acceptable with rating of 7-like very much. The highest dry matter content of 35% was recorded by JK 18-4 and JK 23-1. Most entries are ridgedly deformed. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z
