Abstract: ELONA, MARITESA Y MATIENZO. "A Comparative Study on Monocropping and Intercropping African Daisy in Selected Towns of Cavite". B.S. Thesis, Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, Major in Agricultural Economics, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, April 1991. Adviser: Dr. Nelia C. Cresino. The study aimed primarily to determine the 1) socio-economic characteristics of the farmers, 2) the pro-duction and marketing practices used by the farmers, 3) the cost and return of growing African daisy, 4) compare the gross income, cost of production, and net income between mono-cropping and intercropping African daisy, and 5) the problems encountered in farming. This study was conducted in two selected towns of Cavite, namely: Tagaytay and Silang where majority of the farmers are engaged in African daisy production. A sample consisting of 100 African daisy growers was selected through, simple random sampling. The age of the farmers ranged from 21 to 75 years with an average of 45 years. In general, African daisy growers, finished elementary level of education. They were supporting an average of four dependents. The farmers were generally share tenants or lessees. African daisy production was regarded only as an additional source of income of the farmers. Generally, large farms had higher gross income than smaller ones, either as monocrop or as intercrop. Likewise, production cost was higher in large farms than in small size farm. The net income from African daisy production was relatively high regardless of farm size. The net income from African daisy averaged to P3,780 per season in mono-cropping and P2,640 per season in intercropping. Results of t-test showed that the null hypothesis cost of production and net income of mono-cropping and intercropping African daisy was rejected. The problems encountered by the farmers were in-sufficient supply of rain, high cost of fertilizer, lack of investment capital and low prices offered by buyers.
