FARM: QUIRINO STATE COLLEGE (SMALL INCOME GENERATING PROJECT-PRIMARY SOURCE OF FUNDS TO AUGMENT ITS VERY LIMITED MOOE BUDGET)
OBSERVATION (POULTRY): DEC 2004, FARM INCURRED HIGH MORTALITY RATE OF CHICKS DUE TO COLD WEATHER, ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER FACTORS. AFTER USE OF UNIGROW, THE MOTALITY WAS DRASTICALLY ARRESTED; DISEASE RESISTANCE DEVELOPED, REMARKABLY IMPROVED GROWTH RATE. WHEN TESTED WITH BRILER: (50 BIRDS TREATED AND 50 UNTREATED) TREATED BIRDS GREW TO 1.69KG IN 36 DAYS, COMPARE TO 1.2KG MEAN WEIGHT FOR UNTREATED BIRDS-9 DAYS SAVINGS OF P800 FOR FEEDS. A 43.3% ROI WAS ATTAINED TO THE AMAZEMENT OF STUDENTS AND OTHER.

TILAPIA
OBSERVATION “(COLLEGE TILAPIA FARM): CONDUCTED UNDER THE OBSERVATION OF FISHERY EXPERTS OF DA AND FISHPOND OPERATORS. UNIGROW WAS APPLIED WHEN THE FISH WERE 2 MONTHS OLD AND ONCE A MONTH, THEREAFTER, FOR 3 CONSECUTIVE MONTHS, ONE WEEK AFTER; THE MUDDY WATER BECAME CLEAR AND PLANKTONS AND ALGAE GREW THICKLY. ONE MONTH AFTER, THE FISH APPEARED BLACK, BLUE GREY WITH PINKISH FINS. WATER WAS NOT CHANGED, AGAINST THE NORMAL PRACTICE OF WATER CHANGE TWICE IN THE 5 MONTHS GROWING PERIOD.THE HARVEST WAS WITNESSED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE EXPERTS, FISHPOND OPERATORS AND COOPERATIVE REPRESENTATIVES. THE TREATED PONDS YIELDED 3-4 PIECES PER KG., WHILE THE UNTREATED YIELDED 6-7 PIECES PER KG. THE COLLEGE ENJOYED A 36% ROI FOR THE FIRST TIME.

DENTIST FARMER: DR. PONCIANO PONTIVEROS (9 HERCTARE MULTI-CROP POND OF PRAWNS, CRABS AND BANGUS)
OBSERVATIONS: 3 YEARS, FARMER HAD PROBLKEM OF INCREASING MORTALITY OF 1.5 MONTHS PRAWNS. THE YIELD DECREASED FROM 16-18 COOLERS TO 5-6 COOLERS. DR. PONTIVEROS WAS ADVISED TO TILL AND DRY THE SOIL AFTER THE HARVEST IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE THE PREDATORS. INSTEAD OF CLEANING THE PONDS, HE APPLIED UNIGROW. IN THE NEXT HARVEST, DR. PONTIVEROS ENJOYED A 17 COOLER (35KG) HARVEST. THE LAST TIME HE HARVEST 16 COOLERS WAS 7 YEARS AGO.

COCONUT

OBSERVATION: FARMER VERDAN TREATED WITH UNIGROW 10 COCONUT TREES JUST IN TIME, WHEN THE THREE SUPER TYPHOONS ARRIVED, ONE AFTER ANOTHER, IN THE LAST QUARTER OF 2006. HE NOTED THAT THE 10 TREES WERE STURDIER; THE LEAVES DID NOT FALL AND CONTINUED BEARING FLOWERS AND FRUITS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CALAMITY SHOWING NO SIGN OF SHOCH AND BREAKDOWN, UNLIKE THE OTHER UNTREATED COCONUT TREES.

MANGO
REFERENCE: PHILIPPINE STAR, 21 AUGUST 2005, AUTHOR ROSE DELA CRUZ
FARMER: DR. ESTER MERCADO (PAOLO FARMS ), DEAN OF INSTITUTE OF AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY COLLEHE OF TARLAC COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE
OBSERVATION: SPRAYING UNIGROW ON THER MANGO ROOOTS AND FLOWERS MADE THE TREE RESISTANT TO PESTS AND DISEASES AND THE NUMBER OF FRUITS PER BUNCH INCREASED FROM 7 TO 10 . THE SWEETNESS TEST RECORDED 17.5 BRIX, AGAINST THE NORMAL OF 13.2 BRIX. THE FRUIT RIPENS EVENLY, UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS PRODUCT THAT IS RIPE IN ONE SIDE AND SOUR IN THE OTHER. THE SHELF LIFE WAS OBSERVED LONGER THAN THE NORMAL. THE FOREMOST BENEFITS
IS, THE TREE CAN BE MADE TO FLOWER AND BEAR FRUITS FF SEASON, THUS ENJOY A BETTER PRICE. WHILE THE RAIN CAUSED THE FLOWERS TO FALL IN MANY FARMSD, THOSE OF DR. MERCADO DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE FLOWER FALL. THE ORGANIC MANGO MAY PASS THE REQUIREMENTS OF US AND OTHER COUNTRIES.
