Abstract: This study was aimed primarily to determine the most profitable use of fertilizer in the lowland region of Cavite. This study covered two lowland towns of Cavite, Naic and Tanza, where 100 farmers are selected at random and interviewed. The average age of the farmer was 41 years while their average farming experience was 16.6 years. Twelve percent of the total number of farmers had occupations other than farming. The respondents had an average educational attainment of 5.8 years. Eighty-séven percent of the respondents were tenants and only 13 percent were either owners“ part-owners". The average landholding was 2.085 hectares per farmer. The farmers studied were classified into two groups, users and non-—users of fertilizer. Eighty-six percent of the farmers were users and 14 percent were non-users; the majority of them are acceptors of improved practices in farming. The respondent cultivated about 201.7 hectare of land. Of these, 172.2 hectares are fertilized while 20,6 hectares were not fertilized, A yield difference of 15.6 cavans was relieved from applying fertilizer, The average number of bags weed 49 2.08 bags per hectare. Ite value was about PI64,. An increase in income of P350 per hectare on the part of was observed over the non-user. Lack of operating capital was one of the major problems of the farmers in using the right amount of fertilizer. Findings of the study indicated that the most profitable application was bétween 8 to 7 bags of 6 bags of fertilizer per hectare. The low production of lowland farmers might be attributed to the low rate of fertilizer application,

This study was aimed primarily to determine the most profitable use of fertilizer in the lowland region of Cavite. This study covered two lowland towns of Cavite, Naic and Tanza, where 100 farmers are selected at random and interviewed.

The average age of the farmer was 41 years while their average farming experience was 16.6 years. Twelve percent of the total number of farmers had occupations other than farming. The respondents had an average educational attainment of 5.8 years.

Eighty-séven percent of the respondents were tenants and only 13 percent were either owners“ part-owners". The average landholding was 2.085 hectares per farmer.
The farmers studied were classified into two groups, users and non-—users of fertilizer.

Eighty-six percent of the farmers were users and 14 percent were non-users; the majority of them are acceptors of improved practices in farming.

The respondent cultivated about 201.7 hectare of land. Of these, 172.2 hectares are fertilized while 20,6 hectares were not fertilized, A yield difference of 15.6 cavans was relieved from applying fertilizer,

The average number of bags weed 49 2.08 bags per hectare. Ite value was about PI64,. An increase in income of P350 per hectare on the part of was observed over the non-user.

Lack of operating capital was one of the major problems of the farmers in using the right amount of fertilizer. Findings of the study indicated that the most profitable application was bétween 8 to 7 bags of 6 bags of fertilizer per hectare.

The low production of lowland farmers might be attributed to the low rate of fertilizer application,
