Abstract: TAMPIS, ANNALYN A. Effect of Integrated Pest Management on Farm Production and Income of Farmers in Selected Towns of Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Development Management major in Training Program Management. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2002. Adviser: Nelia E. Feranil. This study was conducted for the purpose of determining the effect of IPM training on farm production and income of rice farmers in selected towns of Cavite. Specifically, it aim 1) to determine the farm production, production cost and income of rice farmers before and after the training course; 2) to determine the farm practices employed by the respondents; and 3) to determine the effect of the course on farm production, production cost and income. This study was conducted in the three selected towns of Cavite, namely: Maragondon, Naic and Tanza. Integrated Pest Management had covered the identified municipalities from 1997 to 1998. A total of 141 rice farmers-respondents selected at random that represented the sample. Generally, the ages of rice farmers ranged from 36 to 45 years, with an average of 38 years and were able to reach primary level of education. They had an average of six dependents and were cultivating their own farm with an average length experience of 14 years in rice farming. They had an average of 1,000 square meters of land devoted to rice farming as their main source of income. They were high adaptors of farm practices, in general, they harvest every two to four times in a year, they sold some of their harvest at price based on plant quality. They used commercial fertilizer and apply it using basal method of application. On the other hand, rice farmers controlled pests and diseases using pesticides and weeded/ cultivated their farm as the need arises. Results of the study showed that the average farm production of rice farmers were only 99 cavans before and 110 cavans after implementation. The cost of production by the farmers after their implementation of the training has an average of P11, 915. 25 compared to the average before the 1PM training was P10, 597.87. These increase in production cost can be process by the decreased number of the respondents who incurred P11, 500 and below and the increasing number of the respondents who incurred more than P11, 500. However, the income of farmers before the implementation of 1PM training ranges from P8, 300 to P22, 870 with an average P15, 375.89 while the average income of the respondents after 1PM training was P17, 622.69. The student's t-test was used to determine significant differences between the mean level of production, mean production cost and mean income before and after IPM training in order to indicate the effect of 1PM training on these variables. Results showed that the level of production before the 1PM training significantly increased after 1PM training. Similarly, production cost and income before IPM training significantly increased after the IPM training.
