Farmers profiling System for the municipal agriculturist office of Balaoan, La Union
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University- North La Union Campus, 2024-01) Sacquiaten, Joshua B.; Ballesteros, Andrei Eleazar B.
This study aimed to develop a Farmers' Profiling System for the Municipal Agriculturist Office (MAO) of Balaoan, La Union, to efficiently store and secure large amounts of farmers' data. The objectives included identifying current profiling problems, assessing the ICT resources profile, evaluating the readiness for implementation, determining the socio-demographic profile of respondents, evaluating system vulnerability, and gauging system acceptability and perception differences.
The results revealed that the system effectively manages and monitors farmers' data. The
municipality is well-equipped with the necessary hardware, software, network infrastructure, and security measures for implementation. Both MAO staff and Barangay Secretaries have a positive outlook on the system. Most respondents are females aged 2630, earning Php 10,000 or less. The system is robust against vulnerability attacks and meets functionality, efficiency, usability, reliability, security, and portability standards. Additionally, there is no significant difference in perception based on sex or respondent type.

(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2023-05) Sumulong, Ismael D.
Pesticides are major inputs of modern agricultural production; but despite their capability for crop protection against pests and warranty of high crop yields, pesticides can affect the river and human health. In this study, pesticide usage of farmers along the Gantay River in the municipality of Bacnotan, La union is determined.
Descriptive survey method was used through the aid of questionnaire and supported by interviews and observations. A total of two hundred fifty-four (254) farmers served as respondents of the study selected through stratified sampling from ten (10) barangays along the Gantay River. Frequency counts, means, percentages, median and ranking were used in the analysis of data.

Performance of eggshells to mycelial growth and yield of mushroom
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2022-05) Dulay, Rodante J.
Eggshells are often discarded as waste, but can be used for mushroom production because of its calcium carbonate content. In this study, the performance of eggshells to mycelial growth and yield of mushroom is determined.
The study was conducted using experimental design laid through Completely Randomized Design (CRD). There are four (4) treatments with 3 replicates each and each treatment with 5 samples, with a total of 60 samples.
The treatment resulted in the slight reduction of pH values (8.0) of the substrate. The temperature is found to be higher than the optimal temperature while the humidity is mostly lower than the optimum range. The full colonization of mycelial growth is noted after 28 days in all treatment. The first flush of fruit appeared in T0 and T2 after 32 days, while the largest yield was noted in T3. Results showed the potential of eggshell in enhancing the mushroom cultivation.
