| dc.description.abstract | This major practice in Organic Seed Production of Finger Pepper was conducted from September 7, 2015 to March 20, 2016 at the Ecological Agriculture Project College of Agriculture, Central Luzon State University, Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija with the objectives 1) To acquire hand on experience and develop skills in the seed production of finger pepper, 2) to produce 1 kilogrm seeds of finger pepper and to present cost and return analysis for 500 m2Organic seed production of Finger Pepper. Throughout the duration of the majorpractice, the student was exposed to the different cultural management practices in seed production of finger pepper such as land preparation, seedling production, transplanting, replanting, nutrient management, hilling up, water management, weeding and cultivation, roguing, pest management, harvesting and post harvest activities such as seed extraction, claning, drying, germination test, packaging and storing seeds. The locally known "Inokra" variety of finger pepper was used as planting material. A total of 800 grams of seeds was obtained from 500 m2 production area. The seeds were sold at Php 4,000.00/kilogram. From this yield, a total gross income of Php 3,200.00 was obtained from the project. The net income obtained from the project was Php -2,302.00 from the total gross sales. The total return on investment (ROI%) was 41.8%. The negative result of the production is due to the three consecutive typhoons that affected the growth and fruiting capability of the finger pepper. | |
