<br/><br/> TEJO, EDERLINDA D, , Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, October, 19860 "The Extent of Self—Reliance and Progressiveness of Multiple Cropping Farmers in Cavite. Adviser: Professor Alice Valerio.<br/>The study was conducted in three selected municipalities of Cavite, namely, Indang, Silang and Trece Martires City 0 A total of seventy—five respondents wag interviewed in the study, twenty—five from each of the selected municipalities.<br/>The study aimed primarily to 1) determine the socio—economic profile of respondents; 2) determine the level of self—reliance and progressiveness of multi crop— ping farmers; 3) identify the factors that affect the extent of self—reliance of farmers; 4) determine the degree of relationship of the level of self—reliance and progressiveness; and 5) identify the problems and aspirations of the multi—cropping farmers.<br/>The average age of the respondents was 48 years, with a low level of education and with an average household size of seven. The average years of practicing <br/>multiple cropping wag 23 years. The area tilled averaged three hectares. Majority were owner—operators. There were nine cropping patterns identified. And in multiple cropping, majority of them, earned income from P21,000 to P22,099. 	Income from other sources was to P 4,799 giving an annual gross income of 715,400 to 715,099.<br/>The level of self—reliance and progressiveness of the respondents shows that both are in the average level with an over—all index of 2022,<br/>In identifying the factors that affect the extent of self—reliance of farmers, the age, income from other sources and years in farming, the R—computed were found to have no significant relationship at five percent level of probability, Meanwhile, the educational attainment, household size, area tilled and income from multiple , crop— ping, with relation to self—reliance, found that the <br/>computed have a significant relationship at five percent level of probability. On the other hand, tenure status and membership of the association, the chi—squares found that they have no significant difference at five percent level of significance,<br/>On the other hand, in ascertaining the degree of relationship of self—reliance and progressiveness of the respondents, the chi—squares computed are significant at five percent level of significance.<br/>
