ABSTRACT

Ten different varieties of traditional rice were evaluated to identify the varieties with the
highest yield and resistance to pest and determine the economic benefit of growing traditional
rice varieties.

Based on the results, Bayag, Balisanga, Burik, Pulot, Raminad and Talabtab are the
highest yielders while all the varieties were resistant to blast and stem borer. Bayag also was the
most profitable among the ten varieties evaluated.

INTRODUCTION
Traditional rice are varieties that have not undergone improvement in formal breeding
and research institutions (CECAP and PhilRice). These varieties are grown in the highland areas
for 6-7 months, leaving one cropping a year. Low tillering, awned grains, and tall stalks
characterize these rice varieties.
There are constraints to the production of rice in Benguet. Some of those constraints are
low temperature in the high altitude areas, small average landholdings ranging from 0.15 to 0.25
hectares, and pest infestation (e.g., rodents and birds). There is also a high cost of and
inaccessibility to farm inputs due to access condition of the area (CECAP, 2000).
Inspite of these constraints and introduction of hybrid rice, farmers still prefer traditional
rice and desire to preserve it.
In the Cordillera region, several traditional rice varieties are grown in addition to the
commercial rice supplied by the lowland producers (Olat, 2003).
Kapangan, a municipality in Benguet, produce traditional rice due to its aroma, good
eating quality, minimum inputs and management, adaptability to the locality, and stable yield. In
addition, there is a great advantage of eating traditional rice over imported ones since native rice
are highly nutritious and usually grown organically (Quinio, 2004).

Thus, because of the potential benefits of these varieties, characterization and evaluation
should be done. It is also necessary to identify varieties adaptable to Kapangan with its
mountainous terrain and cool temperature.

The study aims to:
1. determine the growth and yield of ten traditional rice varieties;
2. identify the variety with the highest yield and resistance to pest; and
3. determine the economic benefit of growing traditional rice varieties.
The study was conducted at Beling Bilis, Kapangan, Benguet from August 2009 to February
2010.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Characteristics of Traditional Rice Varieties
CECAP and PhilRice (2000) as cited by Gamsawen (2006), enumerated some
characteristics of traditional rice varieties grown in Cordillera as those with low fertility, awned
grains, tall stalks and late maturing.

PhilRice (2001) stated that traditional rice varieties are mostly 160-200cm in height with
droopy leaves, photoperiodic meaning their growth duration varies depending on the month they
are planted, low yielding, late maturing, and less responsive to nitrogen fertilizer. They are good
sources of resistance and quality traits. These varieties also endure environments such as
submerged region and in areas with low soil fertility.

Varietal Evaluation

Salcedo (2002) found that among the ten rice cultivars evaluated, the result showed that
the Imbannig, In-Lammahan and Imbuucan as to the number of days from transplanting to
tillerring were the longest to produce tiller with a mean of 21.62. 21.33 and 21.00 respectively;
however, Matinkan was the earliest to produce among the cultivars with a mean of 17.33.

From the evaluation of five different varieties of Kintoman (aromatic) rice, it shows that
all varieties of kintoman performed well and were adopted at La, Trinidad, Benguet however,
kintoman is highly recommended as shown by early maturity, and at the same time it gives the
highest yield per hectare at a mean of 1,895.83 kg (Atin, 2002).

Effect of Pest and Diseases

CECAP and Phil Rice (2000) stated that rat problems have always existed along with rice
production in the Philippines. In the Cordillera, farmers consider rats to be the number one
problem, together with rice birds, golden snail (kuhol) and rice bugs.

Harvesting, threshing, and drying

PCARRD (2001) as cited by Gamsawen (2006) stated that harvesting and its related
handling operation are significant points in pest production sequence where losses can be
incurred.
Threshing is the process of detaching or separating rice grains from the panicle. Its
timing, availability, and efficiency greatly affects the quality of the grains produced (PCARRD,
2001). Threshing is usually done at least one day after harvest to allow the panicle to be readily
threshed. Another important post harvest of rice before storage is drying up to 14% moisture
content. This is done purposely to lower the moisture content of a newly threshed palay with the
aim of reducing its susceptibility to mold infestation, prevent sprouting, prolong its shelf life and
at the same time preserve its quality.

Functional Properties and Nutritional
Composition of Traditional Rice


Some landraces in the Philippines have protein content up to 14%, the average protein
content of HYVs is 6-11%. Commercial varieties of rice usually contain about 2 mg/kg of iron,
certain colored traditional rice in Philippines have 63.5 mg/kg iron. Some highly-colored rice
landrces in the Philippines and Malaysia can contribute most, but not all, of a person’s daily
requirement of vitamin A precursors (Uphoff, 2008).

Brown or rough rice reduces blood cholesterol and decreases urinary calcium for people
prone to kidney disorder (Javier, 2001). It contains vitamin B and dietary fibers that helps
prevents cancer and an effective laxative.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Seedbed and Land Preparation

An area of 150 square meters was cleaned and prepared (Figure 1). Each plot had a
measurement of 1x5meters. Each variety was sown separately on each seedbed to avoid
mixtures. Necessary labels were placed on each seedbed for easy identification.

Lay-outing and Transplanting

Following the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), rice seedlings were
transplanted on the designated plot and replicated three times. Two to three seedlings per hill for
each ten varieties was planted on straight lines using 20cmx20cm spacing at both ways.
The ten varieties tested were as follows:

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Soil Chemical Properties
Soil pH. A slight change in the soil pH is observed before planting and after harvesting
(Table 1).The soil pH before planting and after harvesting which was 6.02 and 6.01 respectively,
favors the growth of rice since the pH range for rice is 4.5-7.5 (Martin and Leonard, 1970).
Organic matter and nitrogen. Table 1 shows that the percent soil organic matter before
planting was 1.50 %. It was observed that the amount of organic matter and nitrogen in the soil
before planting and after harvesting remained the same because of the presence of azolla. Alam
(2004) stated that azolla can be a potential source of nitrogen due to its N-fixing capacity. Thus,
instead of utilizing the residual nutrients, the rice plants might have used the Nitrogen released
by the azolla plant.
Phosphorus. The phosphorus content of the soil deceased from 29 to 15 ppm. The
decrease in phosphorus could be attributed to none application of fertilizer and utilization of
residual P in the soil by the plants.

Potassium. As shown in Table 1, there was decrease in the soil potassium content from
118 to 98 ppm. The soil potassium may have been utilized by the plants during grain
development.

Number of Days from Transplanting to
Tillering
The number of days from transplanting to tillering is shown in Table 2. Results show
that there is no significant difference on the number of days from transplanting to tillering of the
ten traditional rice varieties. Suyaaw was the earliest to produce tillers followed by Balisanga
and Bayag. Makaneneng was the latest to produce tillers in 77 days.

Number of Days from Transplanting to
Booting

No significant differences were observed on the number of days from transplanting to
booting of the different traditional rice varieties (Table 2). Botalga was the earliest to boot at 84
days followed by Tawataw at 85 days.
Early booting could mean earlier maturity which may be attributed to the genetic make-
up and adaptability of the variety to the area.
Number of Days from Heading to
Ripening

Table 2 shows that there were no significant differences on the number of days from
heading to ripening of the traditional rice varieties. Bayag and Tawataw were the earliest to ripen
in 25 and 27 days, respictively. Pulot and Raminad were the latest to ripen.

Number of Total and Productive Tillers

Table 3 shows that there were no significant differences on the number of total and
productive tillers produced by the ten traditional rice varieties. Bayag had the highest number of
total tillers produced while Talabtab had the highest number of productive tillers produced. More
produvtive tillers may mean higher yield.
Vergara (1992) mentioned that plants produced more tillers during wet season than
during the dry season. Rice plants also grow faster at warmer temperatures.

PhilRice (2001) stated that traditional rice are mostly tall with droopy leaves and are late
maturing. Furthermore, Vergara (1992) stated that reduced plant height is the most important
factor to increase the grain yield potential of rice. Shorter plants can take up more nitrogen
fertilizer without lodging, resulting in higher grain yields.

Number of Filled and Unfilled Grains
per Panicle

No significant differences were observed on the number of filled and unfilled grains per
panicle of the traditional rice varieties (Table 5). Among the ten varieties, it

was observed that Tawataw had the highest number of filled grains per panicle (133) while the
other varieties had filled grains ranging from 83 to 102. It was also noted that Bayag had the
lowest number of unfilled grains per panicle (10) followed by Tawataw (12).
Vergara (1992) stated that a low percentage of filled spikelets can result if temperature at
flowering is too low (less than 20) or too high (above 30).

Yield per Plot
Table 6 reveals that there are significant differences on the total yield per plot of the
traditional rice varieties. Bayag had the highest yield per plot (161.33 g/5m2) but not

significantly different with Burik, Pulot, Balisanga, Raminad and Talabtab. Suyaaw obtained the
lowest yield with a mean of 99.33 g/5m2. The high yield of the varieties mentioned maybe
attributed to the high weight of 1000 grains and considerably the number of productive tillers.

Computed Yield per Hectare
Significant differences were observed on the computed yield per hectare of the traditional
rice varieties. Bayag obtained the highest yield per hectare of .32 tons followed by Burik (0.32
tons). The significant differences could be attributed to the yielding ability of the different
varieties. Yield is normally a function of genetic make-up and environmental conditions
(Modesto, 2010).
Furthermore, the low yield of all the varieties evaluated may be due to the damage caused
by birds feeding on the grains. Damage worsened when the rice planted on the surrounding farms
were harvested earlier. The lack of fertilizer applied on the field may have also contributed to the
low yield.

Return on Cash Expense (ROCE)

The return on cash expense of the ten traditional rice varieties is shown in Table 7. Bayag
had the highest ROCE compared to the other varieties evaluated. This result implies that Bayag
is profitable to be produced at Beling, Bilis, Kapangan.

All of the varieties were found to be resistant to stem borer and neck rot.

Among the ten varieties evaluated, Tawataw and Balisanga had the highest number of
filled grains. Significant differences were also observed on the total yield per plot and computed
yield per hectare of the ten varieties. Bayag had the highest total and computed yield and ROCE
followed by Burik and Pulot.

Conclusion

Based on the results, Bayag, Balisanga, Burik, Pulot, Raminad and Talabtab are the
highest yielders while all the varieties were resistant to blast and stem borer. Bayag also was the
most profitable among the ten varieties evaluated.

Recommendation

Based on the results of the study, Bayag, Balisanga, Burik, Pulot, Raminad and Talabtab
are recommended for traditional rice growers at Beling, Bilis, Kapangan, Benguet due to high
yield and positive ROCE.
