Abstract: The project, “ Maximizing Land Utilization Through Mongo and Corn Cropping Pattern” was conducted in DSAC, Indang Cavite from August to November , 1989. It aimed to increase the yield per unit area by maximizing land utilization following the mongo and corn cropping pattern. An area of 1, 500 square meters was plowed and harrowed twice an interval of one week to allow weed-seeds to germinate and kill the harmful organism present in the soil. After the first plowing and harrowing, chicken manure at the rate of 350 kilograms per hectares was incorporated into the soil one week before planting. Mongo and corn seeds were drilled alternately in the furrows 50 centimeters between rows and 25 and 35 centimeters between hills, respectively. Urea fertilizer applied during hilling-up cultivation of corn at the rate of 75 kilograms per hectare. An insecticide like folidol was applied when insects attacked the plants. Mongo pods were harvested 65 days after planting as soon as they became matured. On the other hand, corn ears were harvested when the husk and kernels were nearly glazed or green matured good for boiling. The projected yield was not attained due to unfavorable weather condition. During their fruiting stage, there was very limited rain that resulted to yield reduction. Although the crops were affected by adverse weather condition, the use of organic and inorganic fertilizers seems to help a little. It was able to produce 1, 950 ears of corn and 15 gantas of mongo. The total harvested corn and mongo were sold to the market with a total cost P1,725.00. This resulted to a net income of P382.15.
