Identification of Agronomic Crops Grown in the Locality of Hinunangan, Southern Leyte, Philippines
Identification of Agronomic Crops Grown in the Locality of Hinunangan, Southern Leyte, Philippines
This study was conducted to: (1) identify and describe some of the existing agronomic crops planted in the locality of Barangay Manalog and Bangcas, in Hinunangan, Southern Leyte, Philippines, (2) determine the cropping systems adopted by the farmers in their farms; and (3) determine the crops that grown for commercial purposes in the Barangay Manalog and Bangcas, in Hinunangan, Southern Leyte. Data were gathered through a series of documentation using a pen, bond paper, camera, and additional data were taken from the office of the Department of Agriculture in the Municipality of Hinunangan, Southern Leyte. The data gathered were supported by the Department of Agriculture (DA) files. The survey revealed only three crops grown under lowland conditions—likewise, 15 upland agronomic crops grown primarily annually. Among the crops identified, only rice, corn, cassava, coconut, and pineapple were commercially produced in Barangay Manalog and Bangcas. With rice having the largest production area using mono-cropping practices and intercropping for upland crops, both perennial and annual crops.
