Abstract: The Farm Practice Project, "Corn Production Using enous Fertilizer" was conducted at Banaba Lejos, mg, Cavite from September 1988 to January 1989. s project aimed to minimize dependence on the use of h cost inorganic fertilizer. A 5,000 square meter field was plowed and harrowed e at an interval of one week to allow weed seeds to germinate and kill the harmful organisms present in the soil and until the good tilth of the soil was attained. After the first plowing and harrowing, the indigenous fertilizer (chicken dung) at the rate of 500 kg/ha was incorporated into the soil one week before planting to allow faster decomposition. The seeds were drilled on the prepared furrows with a distance of 70 centimeters between furrows and 30 centimeters between hills. Off-barring and hilling-up cultivation was applied. No insecticide or fungicide was used since no insect/ disease attacked the crop. Corn ears were harvested when the husks and kernels were nearly glazed or green matured good for boiling. The projected yield was not attained due to unfavorable weather condition. During fruiting stage, there was very limited amount of water coming from rain that resulted yield reduction. Although the crops were affected by verse weather condition, the use of indigenous fertilizer seemed to be promising. It was able to produce 850 ears of corn which were sub-divided into three classes: Class A with a total ears of 750 at p.70 per ear; Class B, with a total ears of 900 at 0.60 per ear -d Class C, with a total ears of 1200 at i6.50. The total harvested corn ears were sold to the market with total cost of 01,665.00.
