Title:

Performance of Tomato Applied with Exquisite Soil Conditioner and Bio-Organic Fertilizer 

Researchers:

R. Ejercito and JD Ortuoste
Sultan Kudarat Polytechnic State College (SKPSC)

Brief Description:

Organic fertilizers are highly recommended for the growing of tomato to enhance its growth and development. This technology is highly acceptable by farmers since these products are environment friendly.  Hence, this study was conducted to determine the performance of tomato spilled with exquisite.  This is a new organic-based product and is both a soil conditioner and a Bio-organic fertilizer and the researcher would like to determine their effects on the growth and yield of tomato.

Details:

The yield and agronomic characteristics of tomato applied with exquisite as soil conditioner and bio-organic fertilizer significantly reduced the number of days to flowering and improved plant height and its reaction to pest and diseases.  The number of fruits harvested was increased by 24 to 28 percent.

Title:

Fuel Gas from Domestic Waste

 

Researchers:

NS Rodel and L. Espesor
Sultan Kudarat Polytechnic State College (SKPSC)

Brief Description:

Most of us today rely on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for fuel in our stove wherein its price is increasing.  The present situation motivates the researchers to explore high-yielding, organic materials in the production of fuel gas for our stove.

The objective of the study is to obtain information whether or not organic waste materials or mixtures would yield high percentage of fuel gas.  Results of this study will be beneficial and is a very good solution to our energy problem.

Details:

Result shows that internal organs of fish can be used to generate fuel gas and can be used as substitute to LPG in our stove.  Yellow fin internal organs can generate 33 to 83 percent while tilapia internal organs yielded gas 82 to 92 percent more than the control, which are legume wastes.  The generation of gas from organic wastes can be explained chemically with their protein content being broken down to amino acids then to methane gas through the action of enzymes.  This is recommended for commercialization.

Title:

Anti-Pollution and Gas Saver Device

Researchers:

SD Daza and LL Dizon
Sultan Kudarat Polytechnic State College (SKPSC)

Brief Description:

Sultan Kudarat is a fast-growing province.  To date, no air pollution monitoring and evaluation exists, particularly in the City of Tacurong.  There is a need to preserve the quality of air by developing a low-cost anti-pollution and gas saver device.  The researcher thought of producing an alternative technology for vehicles.

Details:

The developed anti-pollution and gas saver devices are for motor vehicles and have been found to be affordable and very easy to install.  They are 15 times cheaper than the commercial device.  When attached to the engine, they will help solve the problem of air pollution and fuel consumption.

Title:

Development and Evaluation of Banana Chips from Cavendish Banana

Researchers:

Eufemia S. Dampil
Sultan Kudarat Polytechnic State College (SKPSC)

Brief Description:

Fruit like Cavendish banana is highly perishable.  It cannot endure long period of storage.  Developing a new product like banana chips out of the surplus Cavendish banana in banana plantations in Mindanao, which is just thrown and fed to animals, would mean greater income for Cavendish producers. 

The objectives of the study are:

  1. to determine the acceptability of banana Cavendish if processed into chips;
  2. to determine the cost and return analysis; and,
  3. to determine shelf-life of the product.

Details:

Using the standard procedure in the processing of Cavendish banana into chips, the one-fourth kilo banana slice with 5 cups syrup has been found to have a shelf-life which lasted for 1 month.  The product is crispy and appealing with a sweet taste and had the highest general acceptability.  Its return of investment is 25 percent.  It means surplus Cavendish banana can be saved by converting it into processed chips.
