The project was conducted in Bancod, Indang, Cavite from October 1989 to January 1990 for a period of four months . This project was conducted by the author to familiarize herself with the cultural management operation required by corn when grown in between citrus plants
An area of 4,000 square meters was prepared by al— ternate plowing and harrowing. Planting of corn was done on October 14 , 1989 with a distance of 75 centimeters bet— ween rows and 50 centimeters between hills using three seeds per hill. Thinning was done three weeks after germination leaving only two plants per hill. A combination of complete and Urea fertilizers with a total rate of 50 kg for the entire 4,000 square meter area was applied basally. The corn ears were harvested 75 days after planting. The project produced 5,354 ears of corn. This was lower (35 percent) than the target produce. The reduction of the yield was attributed to the competition of nutrients between the main crop and intercrop and the lack of water during grain filling stage. The corn ears were marketed at a gate price of 20065 per ear. The project realized a gross sale of 0100 After deducting the overall expenses Of PI 9457 050, the project obtained a net income of 22.009060
