A Farm Practice on "Intercropping Gabi with Bush Sitao" was conducted in Conchu, Trece Martires City, from August 1991 to February 1992 to demonstrate the profitability and productivity of gabi intercropped with bush sitao in a piece of land, and to be familiar with the appropriate cultural management practices necessary for gabi when intercropped with bush sitao.
An area of 1 , 500 square meter land was used for the production of gabi and bush sitao. The field was prepared thoroughly by the use of animal drawn implements. Planting of gabi was done on the prepared fur— rows at a distance of 50 cm between hills and 75 cm between rows. Complete fertilizer (14—14—14) was applied basally. Planting of bush sitao was done by sowing the seed in between the rows of the gabi plants. Field inspection was carried out to determine the presence of pest and diseases. No serious pest and diseases were observed attacking the gabi plant, but aphids were found infesting the leaves of bush sitao. The plants were immediately sprayed with three tablespoons of Malathion for every four gallons of water.
After conducting the total expenses of , 249.64 from the gross sale of the project gained a net income of p5,295.360 The project realized a high
return on invest (ROT) of 1245% indicating that intercropping gabi with bush sitao is economically feasible.
