Adoption behavior of root crop growers in four Bicol provinces.
Adoption behavior of root crop growers in four Bicol provinces.
The study was conducted in four selected provinces of the Bicol Region namely: Sorsogon, Albay, Camarines Sur and Camarines Norte. The objectives of the study were to: 1) describe the characteristics of the root crop growers in four selected provinces of the region; 2) determine the cultural practices/technology adopted by the root crop growers; 3) compare the degree of adoption of the recommended technology among the cassava, sweet potato and gabi growers; and 4) determine the variables, which influence the adoption of the recommended technology. The data were gathered from 265 root crop growers. Means and percentages were used to describe the characteristics and technology adopted by the farmers. Analysis of variance and the Duncan's Multiple Range Test were used to compare the three groups of root crop growers. Chi-square determined the relationship of variables under study. The root crop growers were middle-aged, predominantly males, married with low educational attainment and came from a family of seven members. Generally, they had middle income (P6,000-8,999), one-third of which came from root crop farming. Majority were nonowners of the land they tilled with an average farm size of 3.17 ha. Most of them had been in the occupation for 20 years or more. They were also affiliated as members of various organizations and more than half of them had low level of aspiration. Communication-wise, the root crop growers had low exposure to radio, print and interpersonal sources. Likewise, their access to market, transportation facilities and credit was relatively low. The finding also revealed that in terms of the technology adopted, the root crop growers were modern as to the varieties planted, system of land preparation, cultivation and weeding practices. There was significant differences between the three groups of farmers, i.e., the cassava group differed significantly from both the sweet potato and gabi farmers. The cassava respondents adopted more new practices/technology than the other two groups. The degree of adoption was significantly related to the farmers income, farm size, level of aspiration, exposure to interpersonal sources and the type of transportation facilities used.

ILAARRDEC

Ilocos Agriculture and Aquatic Resources Research and Development Consortium (ILAARRDEC) adheres to RESULT-BASED, INDUSTRY-DRIVEN and COMMUNITY EMPOWERED-FOCUSED plans and programs in envisioning, enhancing and strengthening dynamic partnership, sustainable commodity-based ad competitive enterprises.

STAARRDEC

The Southern Tagalog Region demonstrates the capacity for growth and development in agriculture, natural resources, and industrialization. This region is also home to several private and government institutions; state colleges, and universities; and R&D agencies with a vast pool of scientists and technologists specializing in agriculture, environment, and natural resources abound in the region.

The R&D sector saw the need to genuinely collaborate efforts to boost the agro-industrial and sustainable development in the region. However, the wide geographical spread of the region makes the facilitation and coordination of R&D work difficult. Hence on May 3, 1988, the Southern Tagalog Agriculture, and Resources Research, Development Consortium (STARRDEC) was established thru the partnership of 12 agencies, namely; Department of Agriculture - Agricultural Training Institute Region IV (DA-ATI IV); Department of Agriculture - Bureau of Agricultural Research (DA-BAR); Department of Agriculture Region IV (DA-IV); Department of Environment and Natural Resources Region IV (DENR-IV); Department of Science and Technology Region IV (DOST-IV); Don Severino Agricultural College (DSAC); Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau (ERDB); Forest Products Research and Development Institute (FPRDI); National Economic and Development Authority Region IV (NEDA-IV); Philippine Council for Agriculture, and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCARRD); Palawan National Agricultural College (PNAC); and University of the Philippines - Los Baños (UPLB). It was based and hosted by UPLB from 1988-2007.

On January 31, 2007, during the 62nd Regional Research and Development Coordinating Committee (RRDCC) Meeting held at UPLB DA-BAR-RDE Network Building, College, Laguna, Resolution No. 4 Series of 2007 was approved declaring the transfer of hosting of the consortium from UPLB to DSAC, now known as Cavite State University (CvSU), to allow other member agencies to host the consortium.

In 2008, CvSU started hosting the consortium. On April 21, 2015, during the RRDCC Chairpersons, Consortium Directors, Fisheries Zonal Center Representatives, and PCAARRD Officials’ Meeting cum Workshop held at Hotel Kimberly, Tagaytay City, the Resolution on Enhancing PCAARRD’s Engagement with the Regional Consortia was approved declaring that the consortia will integrate the agriculture and aquatic sectors and re-engage with PCAARRD reflecting the aquatic sector in acronym thus becoming STAARRDEC.

On December 15, 2015, during the 82nd RRDCC Meeting, the renaming of the consortium to read as the Southern Tagalog Agriculture, Aquatic and Resources Research, Development and Extension Consortium was approved and was used in 2016 and onwards.

Today, after more than 3 decades from its establishment, the consortium has now 21 member institutions (10 SUCs, 3 National Line Agencies, and 8 Regional Line Agencies) with CvSU as its host agency.

PCAARRD

 The Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD) is one of the sectoral councils under the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). It was formed through the consolidation of the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCARRD) and the Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development (PCAMRD) on June 22, 2011 pursuant to Executive Order No. 366.

        Originally established in November 1972 as the Philippine Council for Agricultural Research (PCAR), it became the Philippine Council for Agriculture and Resources Research (PCARR) to include mines research in 1975. Affirming the role of S&T in development, PCARR changed its name to Philippine Council for Agriculture and Resources Research and Development (PCARRD) in 1982. The Council was tasked to provide a unified and focused direction for the country’s agricultural research. It then became an apex organization that supports and manages the national network of government and higher education institutions involved in crops, livestock, forestry, fisheries, soil and water, mineral resources, and socio-economic research and development (R&D). In 1987, the Council was renamed the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development but retained the acronym PCARRD. On January 30 of the same year created the Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development (PCAMRD) from the Fisheries Research Division of PCARRD with functions focused on aquatic and marine sectors.

       With expanded coverage, functions, and responsibilities, the Council formulates policies, plans, and programs for science and technology-based R&D in the different sectors under its concern. It coordinates, evaluates, and monitors the national R&D efforts in the agriculture, aquatic, and natural resources (AANR) sector. It also allocates government and external funds for R&D and generates resources to support its program.

        As the apex Council of the AANR sector, PCAARRD is engaged in active partnerships with international, regional, and national organizations and funding institutions for joint R&D, human resource development and training, technical assistance, and exchange of scientists, information, and technologies. The Council is implementing its program primarily through its Research and Development and Extension Consortia which are located all over the country.

      It also supports the National Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development Network (NAARRDN) composed of national multi- and single-commodity and regional R&D centers, cooperating stations, and specialized agencies.

       Being an ISO 9001:2015-certified agency for its quality management system, PCAARRD is committed to achieving a sustained dynamic leadership in science and technology (S&T) innovation in the AANR sector by providing a strategic leadership in promoting S&T as a platform for AANR products innovation and environment resiliency. Guided by its core values of relevance, excellence, and cooperation, PCAARRD will remain steadfast in catalyzing the Philippine AANR sector toward self-sufficiency and global competitiveness
