Effect of Peltier cooled horizontal-type Hydrophonics system to the growth and yield of Straberry (Fragaria ananassa)
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2023-05) Cabanban, Elsa A.; Nelmida, Jeanne M.; Manzano, Mc Kevin F.; Tabing, Ma. Clarienel G.
The condition of high ambient temperature in most Southeast Asian countries like the Philippines has been a limiting factor in the production of temperate crops.
The study aimed to determine the effect a peltier cooled horizontal-type hydroponics system to the growth and yield of strawberry specifically: number of runners, leaf area, number and weight of marketable fruits and sugar content of fruits. Simple economic evaluation was done in terms of benefit-cost ratio and payback period.
Experimental research design was used following the Completely Randomized Design (CRD). There were three treatments. Treatment 1 had no peltier cooling module, Treatment 2 utilized 1 cooling module and Treatment 3 used 2 cooling modules. Statistical analysis of the growth and yield data yielded no significant differences except for sugar content. The benefit-cost ratio for the system is 0.60 and the payback period is 147 productive days.
Analysis of Salt water intrusion in selected Municipalities of the First District of La Union
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2023) Balanon, Reynaldo B.
This study was undertaken to analyze the saltwater intrusion in the selected municipalities of the first district of La Union. It aimed to 1) determine the water salinity
level from shallow tube wells. 2) compare the salinity gradient at different coastal
distances, and 3) generate a salinity level map of the coastal agricultural areas. The
research design employed was descriptive research, utilizing the T-test assuming equal
variance to determine the statistical differences at various coastal distances.
The highest average salinity value obtained from all the data was 1533.33 ppm
located in barangay Rimos No. 2, Luna, La Union, and 1220 ppm located in barangay
Salcedo, Luna, La Union, which was characterized as slightly saline water. Conversely,
the lowest average salinity value obtained from all the data was 275 ppm, located in
Barangay Sta. Cruz, Bacnotan, La Union, which was characterized as fresh water.

Involvement and relevance of the Philippine navy in the development efforts of the government of la union: basis for a 3 year action plan
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University -Open University System, 2016-03) Arugay, Adrian V.
The research sought to formulate a Proposed Action Plan to strengthen the involvement and relevance of Philippine Navy’s development efforts along with different government sectors in La Union. Quantitative descriptive research design was utilized and data were collected from 476 respondents, composed of stakeholders coming from provincial, municipal, community, La Union province residents and the Philippine Navy. The study shows that the Philippine Navy has allocated personnel with the required motivation, skills, equipment and facilities in support for local government development efforts. However, the tendency to be politicized and predisposition to give in to temptations to corruption is observed. The Navy’s conduct of activities to satisfy all requirements are constrained by adequacy of appropriate amount personnel and resources. The Philippine Navy has been rated as having very high relevance in the development sectors of Peace and order, Environment protection, Agriculture, Social services, and Disaster risk management sectors. It was also rated as highly relevant for Tourism sector.
