OBSERVATION
1. Based on the date planted, there were varieties that were planted earlier and some were
planted later. The reason was that during the time of planting, irrigation water was not
sufficient to use. The water flowing in the irrigation canal was not sufficient to irrigate
the said area. So we have to wait upon the availability of the water.
2. Mrs. Florida Lorenzo the seed inspector of LGU, Gonzaga, Cagayan, monitored the
activities that were undertaken in the project since the project is purely seed production
just so to ensure the quality of the seed to be produced.
3. Dr. Democreto Rebong from the PhilRice, San Mateo, Isabela, also monitored the project
and gave some recommendations and suggestion on how to improve the production.
4. The .390 has. NSIC Rc 222 and .360 has. NSIC Rc 238 delayed the harvesting because of
the typhoon “Mario” visited the area and we couldn’t possibly harvest the said variety
and at the same time bad weather after the typhoon was prolonged.
5. The 1.25 hectares Planted with NSIC Rc 222 and 1.25 hectares planted with NSIC Rc
238 are scheduled to be harvested yet on the second week of October.
6. The varieties that were already harvested are already dried and ready for seed testing and
seed laboratory at the BPI Seed and Laboratory Testing Center at Tuguegarao City for
certification and tagging.
Problems Encountered
1. There was a shortage of irrigation water during land preparation, thereby planting was
delayed.
2. Unexpected typhoon visited the place that some of the crops caused to lodge.
3. Lack of seed cleaner equipment.
4. Lack of warehouse to store the produce.
5. Lack of workers to help manage the crops during the process of production.
Suggestions/Recommendations
1.
2.
3.
4.
A waterpump should be purchased so that there will be water ready to use when needed.
Seed cleaner should also be purchased since the project is purely seed production.
A warehouse should be constructed for keeping the produce.
The project in-charge should be provided with an office and a set of computer for him to
use when preparing his reports.

C. OBSERVATION
1. Generally the varieties planted are still new in the locality yet they were grown robustly
as expected.
2. The production is at the minimum level.
3. Farmers from different communal groups visited the crops especially during growth
stages and maturity stage of the crops.
4. There were around 4,455 kgs. of NSIC Rc 300, 3,710 kgs. of NSIC Rc 298 and 1,090
kgs. of NSIC Rc 302 sold to farmers.
5. There were around 53 farmers availed the seeds of NSIC Rc 300, around 64 farmers
availed of NSIC Rc 298 and 22 farmers availed of NSIC 302 for their planting purposes.
(Pls. see attached sheets.)
6. Mrs. Florida D. Lorenzo, the Seed Inspector of LGU Gonzaga, inspected the crop from
time to time to ensure the quality of the seeds to produce and Dr. Democreto Rebong
from the PhilRice San Mateo, Isabela also visited the area and gave some
recommendation as to how to improve the production.
7. The variety planted were all foundation seeds taken at PhilRice, San Mateo, Isabela.
8. Finally, the seeds produced after it has been analyzed, by the seed laboratory at
Tuguegarao Seed Laboratory it came out that NSIC Rc 298 classified as Registered
seeds, NSIC Rc 300 classified as Certified Seeds whereas NSIC Rc 302 was rejected due
to the number of other varieties was exceedingly more than the number of other varieties
required.But inspite of being rejected there were farmers still availed the said variety to
plant.
9. The price per kilo for the registered and certified seeds is P30.00 whereas the rejected one
which is NSIC Rc 302 were sold commercially at prevailing price which is P23.30 per
kilo.
D. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED
1. Lack of available threshing and cleaning equipments.
2. Lack of warehouse to store the unsold production.
3. Lack of workers to help manage the crop during the process of production.
E. SUGGESTIONS / RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Threshing and cleaning should be purchase so that there will be ready use when needed.
2. The school should erect or build warehouse to store the produce for safe keeping.
3. Additional workers should be employed to help in managing the crop during the process
of productions.
