Title StatementTransplanting cotton
General NoteBatac, Ilocos Norte: CRDI, 1988. 45p
Summary, Etc.A single-cell cylindrical molder-digger and a four-cell rectangular molder with a mechanical seeder were designed, fabricated and evaluated at Batac, Ilocos Norte, San Juan and Candon, Ilocos Sur from June 1985 to May 1988 to find out suitable media for raising cotton sedlings for transplanting; develop tools that will produce soil blocks where cotton seedlings could be raised; and further evaluate the profitability of transplanting cotton. Results showed that the single-cell cylindrical molder which costs P159 had a molding capacity of 87 blocks/hour with an average molding efficiency of 92.5%, digging capacity of 239.2 holes/hour and efficiency of 92.2%. The four-cell rectangular molder with a mechanical seeder had a molding capacity and efficiency of 242.9 blocks/hour actively. The mechanical seeder had a seeding efficiency of 88.2%. Soil blocks prepared from cattle/carabao manure, hog manure, saw dust and rice hull gave significantly higher seedling emergence than dried ipil-ipil and chicken manure mixed with clay soil. The ratio by volume of 1:1 to 1:2 soil and animal manure or plant residue could be successfully used in raising seedlings up to 40 to 50 DAE. Except for the soil and cattle/carabao manure mixed at 2:1 soil and manure ratio, the crumbling tolerance of all other blocks tested were not significantly different. Based on seedling emergence date, transplanting delayed squaring, flowering and flossing by 24-26, 19-31 and 22-30 days, respectively. However, based on field exposure, it resulted in earlier harvesting. There were no significant differences in the yield as well as quality of harvests between transplanting and direct seeding
