Seventy percent of the respondents were high adopters, low adopters. while thirty percent were considered adopters practiced land preparation, planting, weeding, application of fertilizer and harvesting. The value of production per farm by low adopters amounted to P69,300.00. This was lower than the value of production of high adopters at P102, 785.33. High adopters incurred an average cost of P39,350.00 while the low adopters incurred costs amounting to P28, 100.53. High adopters generally obtained a higher net income of P61,335.33 compared to low adopters with a net income of P39,699.47.
