| dc.description.abstract | The field practice in aromatic rice (CL 1) seed production was conducted from December 2018 to April 2019 at the Rice seed Production Area of the Research office, Central Luzon State University, Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija. The general objective of the major practice was to expose the student to actual operation and management practices in aromatic rice (CL 1) seed production. The student experienced the actual field activities such as land seedbed preparations, cleaning / constructing of dikes, sowing, pulling, transplanting of seedlings, irrigation management, weed control strategies, fertilizer application and picking of snails. Most importantly the proper techniques/timing for roguing, harvesting, threshing , diving and processing (cleaning/blowing and packaging) activities considered crucial to seed production operations. The project with an area of 0.50 ha yielded a total of 2,802.2 kg dry seeds (5,604.4 kg ha-1), which was higher by 28.6% than the objective of the field practice student of 4,000 kg ha-1. After processing, 2,516.3 kg (5,032.6 kg ha-1) quality seeds were produced with a germination rate of 99%. The project incurred a total expenses of Php 36,578.55 (Php 73,157.10 ha-1) and a total gross income of Php 98,146.65 (Php 196,293.30 ha-1) with a net income of Php 61,568.10 (123,136.20 ha-1). the return on investment was 168.32%. | |
