Abstract: This farm practice entitled "Sexual Propagation of Selected Fruit Crops with Burnt Rice Hull as Medium Supplement" was conducted at the Fruit Crop Nursery of the Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite from June to October, 1993. The project aimed to speed up germination and seedling growth of blackplum, mango, jackfruit, avocado and calamansi using burnt rice hull as supplementary medium. The project further aimed to provide relevant experience in producing high quality fruit tree seedlings. One thousand (1,000) bags were used for germinating the five selected fruit trees. Growing media were prepared by using two parts mixture of sand and garden soil and one part burnt rice hull as supplementary medium. Burnt rice hull was prepared by placing and burning the rice hull in a closed container where there is limited supply of oxygen. The seedlings were grown under shade to regulate light and temperature. Avocado, blackplum and jackfruit registered a 100% survival rate while a 25% mortality rate was observed in calamansi and 10% mortality rate was observed for mango. The inability of calamansi seeds to germinate may be due to growth inhibitors which were not removed during washing which made the seeds dormant. The gross income amounted to P6,540.00. A net income of P2, 605.23 was obtained with an ROI of 99.23%.
