This study was conducted at Bolinao, Pangasinan from January to April 2016 to assess the performance of three oyster mushroom species under Pangasinan condition and to determine which of the three had the highest yield obtained and the gross sales derived from growing the species. A separate setup was established at BSU Mushroom Project, La Trinidad, Benguet to serve as basis for comparison. At La Trinidad, the incubation period of the three species varied. Among the species, Pleurotus sp. pink had the longest incubation period of 33 days and initiated fruiting within 38 days in La Trinidad and 33 days in Bolinao. P. ostreatus and P. florida were the fastest to mature at 31 and 28 days, respectively and initiated fruiting in the 35th days and 32nd days, respectively in La Trinidad as compared to 37th and 34th days, respectively in Bolinao. As observed, the interval between flushes varied depending on the temperature on the locality where the mushrooms were grown even with the same species. Pleurotus sp. pink had the longest interval of 4.33 days in La Trinidad while P. florida and P. ostreatus which did not differ significantly with each other had 2.467 and 2.533 days, repectively. On the other hand in Bolinao, all species had statiscally equal interval between flushes of 3.733, 3.933, and 4.467 days, respectively from Pleurotus sp. pink, P. florida, and P. ostreatus respectively. In terms of yield, the higher yielders were P. ostreatus with 3.236 kg at La Trinidad and 2.138 kg at Bolinao, and P. florida at 3.198 kg in La Trinidad and 2.061 kg in Bolinao. The lowest yield of 0.478 kg was obtained at Bolinao from Pleurotus sp. pink and 1.704 from La Trinidad. The same trends were shown in the gross sales. Therefore, growing an appropriate strain of Pleurotus species within its preferred temperature is best to avoid losses. It is highly recommended that P. florida and P. ostreatus will be grown in lower temperature to obtain maximum yield which results at La Trinidad at which can be attained at Bolinao in the cooler months of October to February. Further, evaluation of the Pleurotus sp. pink is needed to determine the best time yield.

The study was conducted from March 2016 to April 2016 in Rosario, Pozzorubio, Pangasinan to gather the personal characteristics of the respondents and the socio-economic effects of the poultry farms as perceived by the neighbors. There were 30 residents who were selected randomly as respondents to the study. Most of these residents are housewives and farmers of the Area. Most of the respondents belong to the age bracket of 40-60 years old and are married. Most of the respondents’ livelihood is farming and 6 respondent’s works in the poultry farms. A structural survey questionnaire was used to get the relevant data and information needed. The data obtained was consolidated, categorized and tabulated using frequencies and percentage. Number one concern from the neighboring people is the odor and flies coming from the poultry farms. These issues make the neighboring people sick and contaminates their food and water. Most of the neighboring people are talking about this issues and concerns rather than the contributions of these poultry farms to their friends and families. These poultry farms provided employment to some of the neighboring people and the roads going to the poultry farms were being maintained and clean. Poultry farms pay high in terms of electricity that contributes a lot to the electric company.

Jr. The study was conducted from November 2015 to May 2016 at Barangay Salaan, Mangaldan, Pangasinan to identify the best accessions of cowpea and rice bean; to identify the best organic fertilizer applied on different cowpea and rice bean accessions; to identify the interaction between cowpea and rice bean accessions and organic-based fertilizers; and to determine the profitability of growing cowpea and rice bean applied with organic-based fertilizers. Cowpea accession CP-2013-015 produced the highest total seed yield, had low infestation of pod borer and high resistance to bean rust. Either Siglat or Polar Mix may be applied; however, higher ROCE resulted from the cultivation of CP-2013-015 applied with Siglat. Rice bean accession RB-2013-007 produced the heaviest 100 seeds. In addition, accession RB-2013-001b applied with Siglat flowered earlier. In terms of ROCE, accession RB-2014-003 applied with Polar Mix resulted in high returns.

Varieties Intercropped with Corn (Zea mays L.) in San Carlos City, Pangasinan Catungal, Leslie The study was conducted to determine the effect of intercropping corn on the growth and yield of different cassava varieties at San Carlos City, Pangasinan; identify the cassava variety which responds best to intercropping with corn based on growth and yield; determine the interaction effect of cropping system and cassava varieties; and determine the profitability of growing different cassava varieties under different cropping systems. Cropping system did not significantly affect the growth and yield of cassava varieties. Among the cassava varieties, Rayong 5 emerged 12 days after planting (DAP) while Lakan 2 and Golden Yellow emerged a day earlier. Rayong 5 had the highest yield, highest dry matter content and highest return on cash expense. There was no significant interaction effect of cropping system and varieties on the growth and yield of cassava. Intercropping cassava with corn had higher return on cash expense compared to monocropped cassava. Specifically, Rayong 5 intercropped with corn gave the highest return on cash expense.
