DADA-AN, MAJESREH A. APRIL 2010. Market Potential of Sunflower Extract
as Fertilizer and as Botanical Pesticide. Benguet State University, La Trinidad, Benguet.
Adviser: Clifton D. Llanes,
ABSTRACT

This study is about market potential of sunflower extract as fertilizer and as
botanical pesticide in La Trinidad. Interview guide were administered to 65 respondents
coming from the different barangays of the municipality.

The users of sunflower extract are in barangay Shilan and Balili and the non-users
are from Pico and Betag. Majority of the user are organic practitioner and few transitional
farmers.

The common use of sunflower extract to farmers is to fertilize the soil and as to
the effect as botanical pesticide the farmers claim that it has no effect as botanical
pesticide.

There is no standard application rate among farmers, though farmers intend to
increase utilization due to planned expansion of organic area, among other reasons.

The respondents are willing to pay P100 to P150 per liter of sunflower extract.
The non-user is not using sunflower extract because they do not know about it hence,
now that they know about it some of them are willing to use sunflower extract though,

they must try and test it first. Additionally, most respondents say that they would produce
their own sunflower extract.

It is hence recommended for the establishment of information on the efficacy of
sunflower extract as fertilizer and as biological pest control to convince farmers and to
have non-users try and test it in their farms. This also requires the establishment of
standard rate of application. Further, a study on the economic costs and benefits of
sunflower extract production is likewise desired.

INTRODUCTION



Rationale


Vegetable production is one of the industries that play an important role in the
agricultural development of a country that is why it is one of the most important
industries in the Philippines.
The geometric increase in population necessitates an increase in food production.
Due to change in lifestyle of people, taste and preferences of consumers also change.
Current trend points to an increasing awareness and popularity of organic products thus
requiring farmers to shift to organic production. It is therefore necessary to use organic
fertilizer and pest control practice to meet this growing demand.
Fertilizer and pest control deserves special attention in farming enterprise. Plants
need a well balanced diet and to be pest free in order to grow vigorously and produce
maximum yield.
Pest control plays also an important role to plant development ensuring its
optimum yield. The use of sunflower extract has been identified as one of the
techniques/technologies most effective for organic agriculture. It is applied as foliar
fertilizer and for pest control.
There are studies done by Engineer Jerry Gonzales as cited by Allad-iw (2006),
DA-PhilRice (2004), and Michael Bengwayan (2007) that claim sunflower contains
millions of beneficial nitrogen-fixing microbes that make phosphates and other soil
nutrients soluble and therefore readily absorbed by plants, and control the growth of soil-
borne pathogens, which causes diseases.

It was found that sunflower leaves have high nitrogen content (2.9 percent oven
dry weight) and that fresh sunflower can give an equivalent of 60 N kg/ha. Aside from
being locally available and free, wild sunflower easily decomposes (7-10 days) and also
hastens the decomposition of other weeds. In sloping mountains, it helps to prevent soil
erosion. Wild sunflower can likewise be used as pest control agent, floor polish, and
firewood. In the Cordillera, it has been reported to control aphids in vegetables and
earthworms in rice paddies.
In other studies it is also evaluated by Malama that Sunflower pruning had 2.5%
N, 0.14% P, 4.20% K, 0.98% Ca, 0.32% Mg, 300ppm Fe and 11 ppm Zn. It is also
experimented that the effect shows that after a few minutes, the larvae and caterpillar
drop off the plants and die.
Natural Sunflower extract commonly called sunflower tea is produced and
available for sale at BSU Organic Demo Farm. These are presently produced in the
organic Demo farm coordinated by Dr. Jose G. Balaoing and Mr. Tinoyan. This is
available in 1.5 L container. The marketing of the sunflower that is still at the exploration
stage are well as its acceptability in the market. Further improvement on its quality and
packaging is still in development stage, however.
Given the promising contribution of the use of sunflower extract to organic
agriculture, there is hence a need to look into the acceptability and market potential of
sunflower extract as fertilizer and pesticide in order to explore its commercial potential.

Importance of the Study


Results of this research would indicate possibilities for the commercialization of
sunflower extract and thus would be basis for different consideration if such would be

pursued. Furthermore, the results could act as spring board for other researcher to
determine the viability of commercial production of sunflower extract or to explore
market potentials of other similar or substitute products.


Statement of the Problem

The
“1st Cordillera Organic Agriculture Congress” was held in the year 2006 that
envisioned to help CAR farmers maintain their market - or even expand it - through
organic farming, an agricultural method that eliminates chemical fertilizers and
pesticides.
Sunflower extract has been identified as one of the more promising techniques in
production. However, little is known about whether it has a commercial potential among
farmers or not. Hence, this study intends to answer the following questions:
1. Who are the users and non-users of sunflower extract?
2. For what purpose sunflower extract is used?
3. How much quantity of sunflower extract do the users apply per time period?
4. Do they intend to increase the volume of utilization of sunflower extract?
5. What are the reasons of increasing the utilization?
6. Where do they source sunflower extract?
7. What price is acceptable to buyers or potential buyers?
8. Are there substitute for sunflower extract as either a fertilizer or as botanical
pesticide?
9. What are the reason non-users don’t apply sunflower extract?

10. What are the conditions that would encourage the non-users to employ sunflower
extract?


Objectives of the Study

1. To identify the users and non-user of the sunflower extract.
2. To determine the uses of sunflower extract.
3. To determine the quantity of utilization of sunflower extract per time period.
4. To determine possible increase in utilization of sunflower extract.
5. Identify the reasons for possible increase the volume of utilization.
6. To identify the users’ sources of sunflower extract.
7. To determine the acceptable price of sunflower extract among users.
8. To identify direct substitutes for sunflower extract.
9. To determine reasons of non-user don’t employ sunflower extract.
10. To identify condition that would encourage non-users to employ sunflower
extract.


Scope and Delimitation


The research focused on describing the market potential of sunflower extract as
pesticide and as fertilizer in La Trinidad, Benguet. The research will be conducted on
December, 2009. Respondentss of the study will be identified users and some non-uses of
sunflower extract.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE



Montanosa Research and Development Center (MRDC) noted that in Barangay
Balugan, Sagada, Mountain Province used an average of 500 tons of fungicide, 500,000
liters of pesticides and 15,000 tons of commercial fertilizers had been disposed yearly in
the vegetable belt in the region alone. MRDC stated that these amount to half a billion
pesos.
Cheng and Bersamira as cited by Wolfe (2006) studied the health and
environment hazards of pesticides in the vegetable district in Benguet. They concluded
that the volume of pesticides and fungicides poured into Benguet’s vegetable pot in a
year, if used in a biological warfare, is enough to kill the total population of the country.


Popular Practices
in Organic Agriculture

Fernandez (2004) reported that for centuries, farmers in Ifugao and Mountain
Province have been using this plant known as Sunflower to fertilize rice, vegetables, and
sweet potato. The fertilizer value of wild sunflower has been confirmed in recent
researches done by the Department of Agriculture-Philippine Rice Research Institute
(DA-PhilRice) in 2004.


The Use of Sunflower Extract
in Organic Agriculture

Allad-iw (2006) started that according to Gonzales, a partner of Montanosa
Research Development Center (MRDC) in the Bio-Green project, that sunflower is used

as fertilizer. Bio-Green is a microbial organic fertilizer which would address the agro-
chemical dependent farmers and acidic-turned farms in the vegetable and rice producing
areas of the Cordillera. He explained that as a microbial fertilizer, it contains millions of
beneficial nitrogen-fixing microbes that make phosphates and other soil nutrients soluble
and therefore readily absorbed by plants, and control the growth of soil-borne pathogens,
which cause plant diseases.“The fertilizer is environment-friendly as it does not cause
soil acidity and does not toxify water and atmosphere,” Gonzales told Nordis after the
demonstration, adding it has high NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium)
necessary during seedling root development and survival. It is also a soil conditioner that
improves soil structure, increases the ability of the soil to hold water and nutrients, and
provides better aeration added Gonzales, an advocate of organic farming.
Bengwayan (2007) blogged his application of botanical insecticide. It is prepared
using half drum of water, wild sunflower (Tithanium diversifolia) shoots, kakawate
(Madre de cacao leaves and cigarette butts). The effect shows that after a few minutes,
the larvae and caterpillar drop off the plants and dies. The sunflower and kakaw leaves
have properties that kill off the worms. The effect of both leaves is made more potent by
the tar and nicotine extracts from the cigarette butts. This is his effective, simple and
inexpensive control for worms and larvae. He warn though, that the only disadvantage is
that the decoction smells and the applicator should cover all his body and face to prevent
the smell from sticking to his skin. But the extract is safe when in contact with the skin.
As cited by Fernandez (2004) , PhilRice researchers have found that sunflower
leaves have high nitrogen content (2.9 percent oven dry weight) and that fresh sunflower
can give an equivalent of 60 N kg/ha. Aside from being locally available and for free,

wild sunflower easily decomposes (7-10 days) and also hastens the decomposition of
other weeds. In sloping mountains, it helps prevent soil erosion. Wild sunflower can
likewise be used as pest control agent, floor polish, and firewood. In the Cordillera, it has
been reported to control aphids in vegetables and earthworms in rice paddies.

Bengwayan (2007) blogged that no pesticide is used on all crops. As of now no
insect pest has attacked the succhini, lettuce and potatoes but a few diamonback moth
(Plutella xylostella) are attacking the cabbages. We have prepared a botanical control of
sunflower extract (Tithonia diversifolia) to be used against the pest.

Threats of Sunflower Production
and Utilization

Bengwayan (2008) blogged that agriculture industry in north Luzon is in danger
of declining because of organic gardening. This is because organic gardeners are cutting
all visible wild sunflower plants (Tithanium diversilfolia) which they widely compost for
fertilizer. As a result, the bees in this region that depend heavily on nectar and pollen
produced by the sunflowers have difficulty foraging for food.
On the other hand Caluza (2009) reported that La Trinidad, Benguet —
Agriculturists have asked farmers to stop using sunflower as compost after they observed
that honey production started to drop in areas where the plants used to thrive. As cited by
Caluza (2009), Ananayo, chief of the agribusiness and marketing assistance division of
the Department of Agriculture in the Cordillera and also a beekeeper agreed on this and
also blamed changing weather for the decrease in honey production.

RESULTS AND DICUSSION


Profile of the Respondents
Table 1 presents the profile of respondents as grouped into various demographic
characterize of the 65 respondents 29 (44.6%) were user and 36 (55.4%) were non-user of
sunflower extract Majority (67.7%) of the respondents were male and most (81%) were
between the age of 25 to 54 years old. The oldest respondents being above 65 years old.
Respondents from barangay Pico composed 24.6% of the total respondents with
most of them (23.1%) being non-user of sunflower extract. Balili follows with 10(15.4%)
respondents.
Close to half (46.2%) of the respondents were classified transitional organic with
only 10 (15.4%) conventional farmers.

A significant number of respondents (83.1%) have been farming for more than 10
years with 19 (29.2%) respondents farming for more than 30 years. Majority (56.9%) of
the respondents farm on less than 1000 m² area and majority (76%) operate an organic
farm area less than 900 m²Most of them are relatively new practitioner of organic
farming with only one (3.8%) practicing for over 11 years.

Crop Planted

Table 2 presents the crop planted by respondents as grouped into type of farmer,
years of farming, farm size, organic area and length of time as organic farmers. Majority
(61.5%) of the respondent’s plant lettuce and only 26 (40%) of them plant petchay.

Majority (72.4%) of the respondents use sunflower extract to fertilize the soil and
15(15%) of them are organic. The 3(10.3%) of the respondents said that sunflower
extract increased the soil ability to hold water and 2(6.9%) of them are transitional
farmers. Only 1(3.4%) organic said that they use sunflower extract for better aeration.
The 2(6.9%) of the respondents said that they use sunflower extract because it is organic.
Table four presents the uses of sunflower related to the length of time as organic
of the respondents. Majority (55.2%) of respondents use sunflower extract to fertilize the
soil and 6(20.7%) of them are respondents who practiced organic for two to four years.
Respondents that practice organic for five to seven years follows with 5(17.2%).

Table 5 presents the uses of sunflower extract related to the uses of sunflower
extract related to the farm size of respondents. Majority (72.4%) of the respondents used
sunflower extract to fertilize the soil and 11(37.2%) of them respondents has less than
1000m² farm size. Respondents that has 1000 to 2799 m² follows with six (20.7%).
Table 6 presents the uses of sunflower extract related to the organic area of the
respondents. Majority (51.7%) of the respondents said that they use sunflower extract to
fertilize the soil and (20.7%) of them has 500 to 899 m².
Table 7 presents the uses of sunflower extract related to the years of farming.
Majority (72.4%) of the respondents said that they use sunflower extract to fertilize the
soil, where the respondents are farming 25 years above. The sunflower extract most uses
it to fertilize the soil among organic, transitional and conventional. Conditions the soil
follows hence, base on the length of time as organic practitioner they uses it most to
condition the soil. The highest (27.6%) respondents according to years of farming are
between 25 to 30 years. The respondents that has 20 to 24 years farming follows with six
(20.7%).

Overall, (4 to 7) result show that sunflower extract is used by most (72%)
respondents to fertilize the soil more than any other use.

(Table 4 to 6) show that majority (55.2% and 51.7%,respectively) of the organic
practitioner base on the length of time as practitioner and organic farm size, use
sunflower extract to fertilize the soil. Results imply that farmers of green leafy vegetable
use sunflower extract for fertilizer as they know its efficacy but are unclear on its efficacy
as a bio-pest control.

Volume of Sunflower Extract they
Apply per Week for every 250m²

Table 14 presents how much volume of sunflower extract that the respondents
apply per week for every 250 m² related to what type of farmer.
Majority (62.1%) of the respondents who use sunflower extract are organic
practitioner and only six (20.7%) of them said that they use one drum or 160 liter for
every 250 m² per week. The 4(13.8%) respondents from the transitional farmers use 160L
of sunflower extract per week. The 10 (34.5%) respondents are transitional and four
(13.8%) of them uses 160 liters of sunflower extract.

Table 15 presents the volume of sunflower extract they apply per week for every
250m² related to the years of farming.
The 10(34.5%) respondents said that they use 160 liter of sunflower extract per
week for every 250 m² and four (13.8%) of them that has 25 to 30 years farming said that
they use 160L sunflower extract. The three (10.3%) of the respondents said that they
divided into three different years of farming.

Table 16 presents the volume of sunflower extract they apply per week related to
the farm size.
The nine (31%) of the respondents has 1000 to 2799 m² farm and four (13.8%) of
them will use one drum of sunflower extract per week for every 250 m². The 13(44.8%)
respondents that has less than 1000 m² farm and 4(13.8%) of them use 160 liter of
sunflower extract per week for every 250 m² farm. For the respondents that has the
widest farm said that he uses four liter of sunflower extract per week for every 250 m².

Overall most of the respondents use one drum or 160 liter per week for every 250
m² hence, the bigger number of respondents were distributed and said that they uses
lesser volume of sunflower extract per week for every 250 m².
Table 17 presents the volume of sunflower extract they apply per week for every
250m² related to the length of time as organic practitioner.
The eight (27.6%) of the respondents have practiced organic for two to four years
and three (10.3%) of them use four liter of sunflower extract per week for every 250 m².
The five (17.2%) have five to seven years practicing organic and two (6.9%) of them said
that it depends on the price of sunflower extract on how much volume they will use.

Intensions of the Respondent to
Increase Utilization of Sunflower
Extract

Table 24 presents the respondents intentions to increase utilization of sunflower
extract related to different demographic areas.
The relationship of intentions of the respondents to increase utilization of
sunflower extract to the years of farming. The eight (27.2%) of the respondents had 25 to
30 years of farming and half (13.8%) of it said that they will increase sunflower extract
and the other half will not. The six (20.7%) of the respondents had 20 to 24 years of
farming and five (17.2%) of them said they will increase utilization of sunflower extract.
Majority (72.4%) of the respondents said that they will increase utilization of sunflower
extract and eight (27.6%) of the respondents said they will not increase.
The relationship of intention of the respondents to increase utilization of
sunflower extract as to the length of time as organic practitioner. Majority (65.5%) of the
respondents said that they will not increase utilization and 12 (44.4%) of the respondents
said that they will increase utilization of sunflower extract. The five (17.2%) of the
respondents that has eight to 10 years practicing organic and three (10.3%) of them said
that they will not increase utilization of sunflower extract. The eight (27.6%) of the
respondents has two to four years practicing organic said that they will not increase
utilization of sunflower extract.
The relationship of intentions of the respondents and to the increase utilization of
sunflower extract to farm size. The (24.1%) respondents that has 1000 to 2799 m² said
that they will increase utilization of sunflower extract. Majority of the respondents said

And As Botanical Pesticide / Majesreh A. Dada-an. 2010

41
 
(72.4%) said they will increase utilization of sunflower extract while (27.2%) said they
will not.
The relationship of intentions of the respondents and to the increase utilization of
sunflower extract to the respondent’s organic area. The eight (27.8%) has 500 to 899 m²
organic area and five (17.2%) of them said that they will increase utilization of sunflower
extract. The five (17.2%) of the respondents that has less than 500 m² organic area and
three (10.3%) of then said that they will increase utilization of sunflower extract. The 11
(37.9%) of the respondents said that they will increase utilization of sunflower extract.
The relationship of intensions of the respondents to increase utilization of
sunflower extract to the type farmer. The 18 (62.1%) of the respondents is organic
practitioner and 11 (37.9%) of them said that they will increase their utilization of
sunflower extract. The 10 (34.5%) of the respondents are transitional farmers and nine
(31%) of them said they will increase utilization.
Table 24 implies that the respondents that are organic and transitional have
intensions to increase utilization of sunflower extract. They are the farmers that has
longer period of farming and where the organic practitioner has two to seven years
practicing organic which is the time when consumers of leafy vegetables become health
conscious. The farmers that have small area will increase utilization of sunflower extract
and the respondents that have wider farms have smaller possibility to increase utilization
of sunflower extract.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS



Summary


This study was conducted to determine the market potential of sunflower extract
as fertilizer and as botanical pesticide in La Trinidad. It aimed to: identify the users and
non-user of sunflower extract in La Trinidad; determine the uses of sunflower of
sunflower extract; determine the quantity of utilization of sunflower extract; identify the
users sources of sunflower extract; determine the acceptable price of sunflower extract
among users; identify direct substitutes for sunflower extract; determine reasons non-
user don’t employ sunflower extract; identify condition that would encourage non-users
to employ sunflower extract.

The survey was conducted through interview. The gathered data were statistically
analyzed and interpreted according to the objectives of the study. Statistical tools used in
describing the data were statistics like: frequency count and percentage. The chi- square
test also used at five percent level of significance.

Most users are from Barangay Shilan and Balili and most of the user are male
with age ranging most to 25 to 44. They most practice organic and few are transitional
farmers.

Most of the non-user is from Pico and Betag and they are most male and most are
transitional and conventional farmers.
Results showed that the respondents who are organic practitioner said that they
use it to fertilize the soil.

On the volume of sunflower extracts use, most of the organic practitioner organic
area said that they will use one drum or 160 liter. However, there is a low correlation
between farm size and volume of sunflower extract used.
On the intension of the user of sunflower extract farmer to increase utilization,
most of the organic practitioner, farmers farming for 20 to 24 that practice organic for
less than two years, farmers that has less than 1000 m² farm and that has 500 to 899 m²
organic area said that they will increase utilization of sunflower extract.
On the reason why they will increase utilization of sunflower extract, most of the
organic said that they will increase because of expansion of the area, maintain the
nitrogen content of the soil and increase fertility.
Most of the transitional farmer likewise will increase utilization because of
expansion of the area.
On the source of sunflower extract most of the organic and other transitional
farmer said that they will make their own sunflower extract.
On the price that is acceptable to the users most of the organic said that they are
willing to buy one liter sunflower extract for P100.00 to P150.00.
The identified substitutes to sunflower extract are indigent weeds.
On the intension of the non-user to of sunflower extract the farmers most of
transitional farming said that they will use sunflower extract now that they heard about it.
On the source of sunflower extract of the non-user said that they will produce
their own sunflower extract. However, they said that they will only use sunflower extract
if it is tried an tested.

Conclusions

Based on the results, the following conclusions were drawn:
1. The users are the organic practitioner and few transitional farmers. Most of
them
has less than 1000m² farm. The non-users of sunflower extract are transitional and
conventional.
2. The respondents use sunflower extract to fertilize the soil. There are more
respondents who claim that there is no effect of sunflower extract. This indicates that
farmers are more certain of the contribution of sunflower extract to soil fertility but are
uncertain as to its effect as botanical pesticide.
3. Majority of the user of sunflower extract will increase utilization of sunflower
extract. There is a low correlation between farm size and volume of sunflower extract
used. This indicates non-standardized application of sunflower extract among user
respondents however, intend to produce their own sunflower extract. No dominant
answer on what reason why they will increase. This means that there are varied uses to
varied users.
4. The acceptable price to the respondents is P100 to P150 per liter.
5. Most of the respondents substitute farm indigent weeds to sunflower extract.
6. Most of the non-user does not use sunflower extract because they do not know
about it.

7. The factor that will convince the non-user to use sunflower extract if they have
tried and tested it.

Recommendations

Base o the conclusions, the following are recommended:
1. Educate more farmers on the uses and rate of application of sunflower extract.
2. The botanical effect of sunflower extract should be further tested and studied to
convince farmers to use this and to establish further the technology.
3. Studies on the economic costs and benefits of sunflower extract production must
be done.
