Abstract: A farm practice (Intercropping Corn with Peanut) was conducted at Pangil, Amadeo, Cavite from August to December 1986. This project aimed to help the farmers in maximizing their profit through the introduction of new methods and techniques in intercropping corn with peanuts. This also aimed to demonstrate the appropriate management practices in growing crops and to impart the new techniques on keeping records and accounts of the project. An area of 2,500 sq. meter land was thoroughly prepared three weeks before planting. The soil was plowed and harrowed twice with an interval of one week. The land was fertilized with one bag of complete ferti-lizer (14-14-14) after the final harrowing. To the prepared area, furrows at a distance of 100 centimeters were prepared. To these, corn seeds were planted at a distance of 50 cams between bills with two seeds per hill. In between the rows of corn two rows of peanuts were planted at a distance of 50 x 20 oms at the rate of two to three seeds per hill. Corn and peanut seeds germinated five days and three days after planting respectively. The corn plants began to flower on September 20, 1986, exactly 35 days after planting while peanut started to flower on September 27, 1986, 32 days after planting. The corn matured on the later part of November. Harvesting and gathering of peanuts was done 75 days after plant-ing, while in corn, harvesting was done when leaves and husks were already dry and kernels were nearly glazed. During the flowering stage of corn and peanut plants, no disease was observed. A total of six (6) gantas of corn and 50 gantas of peanut were marketed at the Amadeo Public Market at P15.00/ganta of corn and P65.00/ganta of peanut. The gross income was P3,390.00. After deducting the actual cost of production (P1,775.00) a net income of 11,565.00 was obtained.
