Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the growth and yield of mungbean integrated as a cash crop in the Conservation Agriculture in Forest Ecosystem (CAFÉ) Project sites at Barangay Guina-ang, Conner, Apayao. The CAFÉ Project was launched with the intention of promoting environmentally sound farming practices in the uplands of Apayao. The four mungbean varieties: NSIC Mg 05 – Pag-asa 11, NSIC Mg 12 – Pag-asa 19, NSIC Mg 09 – Pag-asa 15, and NSIC Mg 17 – Pag-asa 17 were planted around 2 meters away from the nearest trees in partially-shaded areas with slopes not exceeding 50 degrees. It was laid out in 5 m x 10 m quadrants arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Results of the study revealed that V1 and V2 were late maturing (86.50; 87.16 DAT), taller (65.25; 68.85 cm), had more pods per plant (16.72; 15.92), longer pod length (9.42; 9.36cm) more seeds per pod (12.42; 10.88), heavier seed weight (33.46; 28.49g) and higher seed yield (656.45; 610.20 kg/ha) as compared to V3 and V4. In conclusion, NSIC Mg 05 – Pag-asa 11 and NSIC Mg 12 – Pag-asa 19 had better growth performance and yield in partially shaded areas integrated as a cash crop in the CAFÉ Project site at Conner, Apayao.
