    (Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2017-06) Dangle, Jomalyn G.
    Integration of cash crops like tomato in between rambutan tree is one example of an intercropping system to address food sufficiency and poverty. This study was conducted to determine the best varieties of tomato that could give the favourable growth and yield: highest net income, growth performance of rambutan intercropped with different tomato varieties and to determine the climatological data such as rainfall (mm), temperature (C), and relative humidity (%), during the conduct of the study. It was conducted at the Agroforestry Research and Demonstration Farm (ARDF) Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, North La Union Campus, Bacnotan, La Union from December 16, 2016 to March 26, 2017. The study was laid out following the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with five blocks and four varieties with a total of twenty experimental plots. Each block was divided into four plots where the tomato varieties were allocated with a total of 20 experimental plots. The varieties used were: V1- Native, V2- Atlas, V3- Marimar, and V-4-Diamante. Findings of the study revealed that Diamante variety produced the tallest, highest yield, the heaviest yield, and highest net income. The shortest, lightest yield and lowest net income were produced by Atlas variety. The rambutan had a height growth of 0.31 m, increased stem diameter 0.82 cm, and crown diameter of 0.45 m.
