Pena, Estelita dela Alagar, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, "Production Analysis of Cutflowers and Foliage Plants in Selected Towns of Cavite", 1988, Adviser: Nelia Feranil. The study aimed primarily to determine 1) the items of expenditures and cost of producing cutflowers and foliage plants; 2) the level of production and production efficiency; 3) the monetary return from the enterprise; 4) the factors affecting the size of profit and 5) the different problems encountered in the production of cutflowers and foliage plants in Cavite. Frequency distribution, means, percentages, averages, ranks and marginal efficiency of capital were some of the statistical tools used in the study. The level of production was high with Daisy, gathering the highest production of 7,600 dozens followed by Gladiola with 480 dozens and Adalia with 478 dozens. Japanese bamboo had an average production of 278 pots, Ladies corn had 251 pots while Bougainvilla had 250 pots. Daisy had a total cost of production of P4,194, Gladiola had P2,656.90 and Adalia had P10.55. On the other hand, %Tapas nese bamboo had a total cost of production of P364,55 which is the same as Ladies corn and Bougainvilla. the net porfits obtained by the producers were high, considering the low cost of production. The major factors affecting the size of profit of the respondents were farm size, cost of production and tenurial status for cutflower production; and location of the enterprise, cost of production and perishability of the products, for foliage plants production. The most common problems in the production of cut-flowers were insufficient supply of rainwater, pests and diseases, and spoilage of the flowers. On the other hand, the foilage plants producers did not cite any major problem.
