A study was conducted to document the production, utilization practices, and <br/>yield of teosinte/maramais (Zea spp) as forage crop in the City of Batac, Ilocos Norte. <br/>The study generally aimed to establish initial data on the farmers’ practices in <br/>cultivating teosinte/maramais. Specifically, the study looked into socio-demographic <br/>profile of farmers cultivating teosinte/maramais as fodder crop, document the cultural <br/>management practices employed by farmers in the production of teosinte/maramais as <br/>fodder, document the practices of farmers in the utilization of teosinte/maramais as <br/>feed for ruminants, and determine the herbage and dry matter yields of teosinte grown <br/>by farmers. A total of 100 respondents were randomly taken from the 20 different barangays <br/>of the City and were randomly chosen using a snowball sampling method. The number <br/>of respondents per barangay ranges from 1 to 13. They were interviewed using a <br/>structured interview schedule. Moreover, fresh herbage yield of their standing crop was <br/>determined, samples were collected and dry matter was analyzed using standard oven <br/>drying method. A descriptive research design was used in the study. <br/>On the socio-demographic profile, majority of the respondents were male <br/>(92%), ages 41-60 (81%) and were married and has reached high school level (51%). <br/>Majority (79%) of them, has 1-5 family members and nearly all of them (97%) are <br/>engaged in farming as source of livelihood. More than a quarter (27%) are practicing <br/>farming for 11-20 years and are raising ruminants. The farmers were planting teosinte/maramais during the months of July (37%) and August (37%) and all of them were cultivating in upland areas and planting an area <br/>ranging from 100 to 10,000 sq. m. Farmers were practicing conventional tillage (one <br/>passing) (63%) and practiced broadcast (63%) method of seed sowing with a seeding <br/>rate of 1 kg to 15 kg seeds. Likewise, those practiced dibble method of sowing, they <br/>followed a hill spacing of 20 cm- 60 cm and row spacing of 20 to 71 cm with 2 to 20 <br/>seeds per hill. Most farmers do not irrigate (79%) their crop and solely depends on rain <br/>and do not practice weed control (76%). When it rained, farmer applied inorganic <br/>fertilizer any time. On the other hand, farmers do initial harvesting at vegetative stage <br/>(64%) while the second cutting at two months after planting at a cutting height of 21<br/>30 cm high (40%) and all practiced cut and carry type of utilization in soilage form. <br/>In terms of fresh herbage yield of the standing crop of the farmers, the recorded <br/>yield is 2.27 kg/quadrant. Teosinte/maramais planted through dibble method recorded <br/>higher yield at 2.75 kg/quadrant compared to 1.99 kg/quadrant in broadcast method. <br/>Crop planted during the months of August and September recorded a yield of 2.51 and <br/>2.87 kg/quadrant, respectively. The average dry matter yield recorded is 21.87%. <br/>Therefore, series of studies focusing on improving the production management <br/>of the teosinte/maramais should be conducted such as enhancing planting time, seeding <br/>rate, spacing, cutting height and exploring alternative processing methods and potential <br/>supplementation strategies. |
