Abstract
‘Sibujing’ is classified as an under-utilized crop in the Philippines. It is commonly
used as a condiment and a traditional medicine in the Mindanao area. However, this
crop is not grown in northern Philippines despite its potential contribution for food and
medicine purposes. Hence, this study aimed to assess and evaluate the sibujing
accessions under wet season condition in La Union province. The study was conducted at
DMMMSU-NLUC, Sapilang, Bacnotan, La Union from June 12, 2023 to September 21,
2023. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with
three replications. There are five accessions of ‘sibujing’ acquired from the Crop
Breeding and Genetic Resources Laboratory that were evaluated using agronomic and
phytochemicals analysis. Based on the findings, it revealed that accession 2020-073 (T3)
has the widest leaves (2.68 mm), most number of leaves (15.50), maximum plant height
(36.86 cm), longest leaf length (35.36 cm), most number of roots (15.73), highest plant
vigor rating (7.67), highest plant yield (161.67), and highest yield per ha (0.0263 g) but
comparable to all accession in terms of number of bulb per hill, bulb diameter, root
length, and survival rate. Meanwhile, the phytochemical analysis revealed that all
accession has a tannins and saponins with no alkaloids and flavonoids being collected.
The preliminary evaluation of ‘sibujing’ in La Union province showed potential
accessions that could thrive and yield under new environment conditions.
