๐‘จ๐’ƒ๐’”๐’•๐’“๐’‚๐’„๐’•: Vermicomposting is widely used to convert organic wastes into soil amendments, yet most studies evaluate nutrient quality without integrating safety and economic viability. This study was conducted to assess different mixing ratios of guinea grass and chicken manure in terms of nutrient content, levels of heavy metals and microbial contaminants, yield, and profitability. The experiment was conducted at a vermicomposting facility in Tanay, Rizal, Philippines, following a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Five substrate combinations were evaluated, with three independent vermi-beds per treatment, resulting in 15 experimental units. The results revealed that treatments with higher proportions of chicken manure obtained higher phosphorus levels (3.02โ€“3.87%) and benefitโ€“cost ratios (BCRs) (1.21โ€“1.31), but also lower final total N concentrations and organic matter (OM) levels. In contrast, guinea grass-rich treatments recorded higher concentrations of total N (1.41โ€“1.88%) and OM (43โ€“50%), but also BCR values < 1 due to high production costs. Levels of heavy metals, total coliforms, E. coli and Salmonella spp. were within allowable thresholds regardless of treatment. Based on the results, the 1:1 ratio was identified as the most balanced treatment because it maintained relatively high total N and OM while achieving a profitable BCR despite not providing the highest economic return. The findings provide practical information that may support sustainable agricultural waste management and circular bioeconomy initiatives, particularly under Philippine settings.

Ang pampublikong lupa ay mga lupang pag-aari ng Estado na pinamamahalaan at ginagamit para sa kapakinabangan ng publiko.

Ito ay mahalagang yaman na sumusuporta sa suplay ng pagkain, kabuhayan ng mga magsasaka, kaunlaran ng agrikultura, at pangangalaga ng likas na yaman. Hindi lamang para sa kasalukuyan, kundi para rin sa susunod na henerasyon.

Sa wastong pamamahala at paggamit ng pampublikong lupa, napapalakas ang produksyong agrikultural, napoprotektahan ang likas na yaman, at nabibigyan ng pagkakataon ang mga komunidad na magkaroon ng mas produktibong kabuhayan. Ang responsableng paggamit ng lupa ay mahalaga upang mapanatili ang pagiging produktibo nito at matiyak ang patuloy na pakinabang para sa lahat.

Alam mo ba na ang tekstura ng lupa ay may mahalagang papel sa paglago ng mga pananim? Ang dami at proporsyon ng buhangin, banlik, at luwad ay nakaaapekto sa drainage, pagpapanatili ng tubig, at pagkakaroon ng sustansiya sa lupa.

Mabilis ang drainage ngunit mababa ang kakayahang humawak ng tubig at sustansiya. Maaari itong maging produktibo sa wastong patubig at pamamahala.
Angkop na pananim: mani, kamote, pakwan, at kamatis, lalo na kung may wastong patubig at pamamahala ng sustansiya.

Pinaghalong buhangin, banlik, at luwad na nagbibigay ng magandang balanse sa drainage at pagpapanatili ng tubig at sustansiya. Angkop sa maraming uri ng pananim.
Angkop na pananim: palay, mais, gulay, kamatis, at iba pang hortikultural na pananim.

Mataas ang kakayahang humawak ng tubig at sustansiya na mahalaga sa paglago ng pananim. Gayunpaman, maaari itong magkaroon ng mabagal na drainage at maging siksik.
Angkop na pananim: palay, tubo, gabi, at iba pang pananim na nangangailangan ng mas mataas na moisture.

Walang iisang uri ng lupa na pinakamainam para sa lahat ng pananim. Ang pagiging angkop ng lupa ay nakadepende rin sa uri ng pananim, kondisyon ng lupa, drainage, fertility, klima, at wastong pamamahala.

Patuloy ang mga gawaing pangangalaga sa Adaptive Balanced Fertilization Strategy (ABFS) for Vegetables Technology Demonstration ng DA-Bureau of Soils and Water Management (DA-BSWM) sa pangunguna ng National Soil and Water Resources Research and Development Center for Hillyland P**o-Ecological Zone (NSWRRDC HILLPEZ) noong ika-3 hanggang ika-4 ng Setyembre 2026 sa Dolores, Quezon.

Bilang bahagi ng maintenance ng tatlong experimental sites, isinagawa ang grass cutting sa paligid ng mga taniman at sa mga bahaging hindi pa natatakpan ng gumagapang na baging ng kalabasa. Nagsagawa rin ng manwal na pagbubunot ng mga damo sa paligid ng mga tanim na kalabasa upang mapanatiling maayos ang experimental areas at mabawasan ang kompetisyon ng mga damo sa mga pananim.
Ang mga gawaing ito ay bahagi ng patuloy na pangangalaga at pagsubaybay sa ABFS Vegetable techno-demo upang matiyak ang maayos na pagpapatupad ng proyekto at kondisyon ng mga tanim sa bawat experimental site.

Patuloy na isinagawa ang mga aktibidad para sa Adaptive Balanced Fertilization Strategy (ABFS) for Corn sa Tayabas City, Quezon noong ika-24 hanggang ika-28 ng Agosto 2026, bilang bahagi ng monitoring at pangangalap ng datos sa mga technology demonstration areas.

Kabilang sa mga naturang aktibidad ay ang pagtatatag ng siyam (9) na crop cuts sa mga piling techno-demo areas at pangangalap ng planting schedules. Minonitor din ang kalagayan ng mga taniman at pinayuhan ang ilang farmer-cooperators na magsagawa ng kaukulang pest control measures, partikular sa mga tanim na may aphid infestation.

Kasabay nito, binisita rin ang ilang taniman ng mais na maaaring pagdausan ng nalalapit na ABFS Corn Harvest Festival, bilang bahagi ng paghahanda para sa nasabing aktibidad.

Bilang bahagi ng pagpapatupad ng Adaptive Balanced Fertilization Strategy (ABFS) for Corn, nagsagawa ang Department of Agriculture โ€“ Bureau of Soils and Water Management (DA-BSWM), sa pamamagitan ng National Soil and Water Resources Research and Development Center for Hillyland P**o-Ecological Zone (NSWRRDC HILLPEZ), ng mga field activities noong ika-19 hanggang ika-20 ng Agosto sa Dalingding, Daanbantayan, Cebu.

Kabilang sa mga isinagawa ang field monitoring sa mga technology demonstration sites upang masubaybayan ang paglago at kasalukuyang kondisyon ng mga pananim na mais.

Kasabay nito, itinatag ang crop cut area at sample area na magsisilbing batayan sa pangangalap ng datos para sa pagtataya ng ani at pagsusuri ng epekto ng teknolohiyang ipinatutupad sa ilalim ng proyekto.

Pinangunahan din ng implementation team ang pagpapalagda ng mga benepisyaryo sa Pledge of Commitment at Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) bilang pagpapatibay ng kanilang pakikilahok at pagtupad sa mga responsibilidad sa implementasyon ng proyekto.
