Q

In a regression equation Y = 2.5 + 3X, where X is the flood stage in meters at a certain
location and Y is the estimated amount in million Php of damaged crops downstream. If
flood stage is 20 meters, what is the estimated amount of damaged crops in million Php?

A

62.5

Y = 2.5 + 3X
= 2.5 + 3(20)
= Php62.5 million

Per Department of Agriculture Administrative Order No. 4, series of 2022, the minimum
inorganic fertilizer rates should be ___ bags/hectare (3 bags urea plus three bags 14-14-14 or
three bags urea plus two bags 16-20-0 and one bag 0-0-60)

Q

Tilapia fingerlings need feeds equivalent to ____% of body weight.

A

10-15

119
Q

Tilapia feeding frequency

A

2-3 times daily

120
Q

A marketable size tilapia weighs ___ grams/head.

A

> 91

121

Q

How many mango seedlings are needed to be purchased for 1 hectare area if the planting
density is 10 meters by 10 meters. Give 5% allowance in the number of seedlings purchased.

A

105

No. of Seedlings = Safety Factor [Area in ha x 10,000 m2
/ha / Planting Density in m x m]
= 1.05 [1 ha x 10,000 m2
/ha / (10 m x 10 m)]
= 105 seedlings/hectare

123
Q

If the recommended rate of nitrogen is 90 kg/hectare, how many kilograms of urea fertilizer
are to be applied per hectare using 46-0-0 urea fertilizer alone?

A

196

Fertilizer rate = (Rate of Desired Nutrient x 100) / Percentage of the Nutrient in the Fertilizer
= (90 kg/ha x 100) / 46
= 195.65 kg/ha

124
Q

Based on the experimental field’s soil analysis, the recommended fertilization rate for P2O5 is 45
kg/ha. What should be the fertilization application rate of P2O5 in kilograms/hectare if using 0-22-0
fertilizer alone?

A

205

Fertilizer rate = (Rate of Desired Nutrient x 100) / % of the Nutrient in the Fertilizer
= (45 kg/ha x 100) / 22
= 204.5 kg/ha

125
Q

Based on the farm’s soil analysis, the recommended fertilization rate for K2O is 16.8 kg/ha. What
should be the weight per unit area in kilograms/hectare of K2O to be applied if using 0-0-60 fertilizer
alone?

A

28

Fertilizer rate = (Rate of Desired Nutrient x 100) / % of the Nutrient in the Fertilizer
= (16.8 kg/ha x 100) / 60
= 28 kg/ha

126
Q

If the recommended rate of nitrogen is 90 kg/hectare, how many bags of urea fertilizer are
needed per hectare using 46-0-0 urea containing 50 kilograms per bag?

A

196

Fertilizer rate = (Rate of Desired Nutrient x 100) / % of the Nutrient in the Fertilizer
= (90 kg/ha x 100) / 46
= 195.65 kg/ha

No. of Bags = Fertilizer Requirement in kg/hectare / No. of Kilograms Contained per Bag
= 195.56 kg/ha / 50 kg/bag
= 3.91 bags/ha, round up to 4 bags/ha

127
Q

If tilapia stocking relies only on natural food source, how many tilapia fingerlings should be
stocked in each of 50 experimental cages, each cage has a diameter of 1 meter and depth of 1
meter? Mortality safety factor is 7% for small cages.

A

3

Tilapia extensive stocking density (relies only on natural food source): 3 heads/m2
Area of cage = 3.14 (1 m)2
/4 = 0.785 m2
Stocks = Density x Area x [1+ safety factor in ratio] = 3 x 0.785 x (1.07) = 3 heads/cage
