INTRODUCTION
Importance of the Project
The importance of this project is to enhance the student skills that can be learned from

more ideas to enhance the student ability to making it much better one of the skill that can be
developed is the entrepreneurial skill because doing this project have mini-business that can earn
a mini income. The importance of the project is the vegetable production can harvest when there
is a fruit that we can use for needed this project can help the student to improve the skill to how
to grow proper the crop that can be applied for next generation.
Scope of the Project
In the case of crop production, the proponent is planning to go into seed production, fruit
production, and vegetable production using an area of 40m2. The area requirement needs to plant
three different vegetable crops and the main crop is the Melon. The 40m2 can be divided
depends on the area location. My area divided to 4 area Melon have 8m2, String Beans 3m2,
Okra and pepper 12.25m2 and the Egg Plant is 18m2 total of 41.25sqm.

To control the pest at string beans student don’t want to use insecticide student decide use
a drinking alcohol with volume of 40% alcohol then add water 2:1 the ratio of mixing one time
spray direct to the pest effect was on day 2
*This method apply by the student because at province at Tarlac they using it apply to
onion crops because the pest was immune at any insecticide student want to try if this effective at
string beans aphids and the result was successful.
Harvesting
After 3 months student harvest 10 ties of Okra, 5 ties of String Beans, 20 ties of Pepper,
there are no harvest of eggplant and Honey Dew because of problem encountered, but student
still take care for eggplant there some of fruit but not ready for harvest, then for the honey dew
start over by planting because all of first plant was damage by problem encountered.

IV. Return Above Cost 18.64%
The total cost is ₱295.00 for 40m2 of Okra, Sitaw, Eggplant, Pepper and Honey dew. The
Income of the student is ₱55.00 and the return above cost in 18.64%. This amount of money the
student gets to a small field but there is some problem encountered so that total was small.
PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED
The following were the problems that were encountered during the practicum which may
hinder the full potential of the conducted activities to further develop skills in students:
1. The student dog broke the fence dug near the pole and knocked it over the eggplant.
2. The area where the student planted has many surrounding trees so the plants lack
sunlight.
3. Tropical storm DANTE destroyed the melon and overflowed with bamboo.
4. Eggplant soil texture was sandy soil student don’t have enough compost material.
RECOMMENDATION
This practicum of PRMSU under CAVM department was a good activity to a student to
help enhance the skill of the student to grow vegetable at their own hand
To the faculty who handle this practicum to not to stop conducting this kind of activities
this will help all agricultural student to gather more information to help themselves to improve
own skill and student can be shared to the others.
To the student who will do this activity give your all best and don’t take it easy this not
hard this is not easy but when you enjoy it this is nothing this is like your hobby wake up in the
morning check your crops, take care of them like your baby. Also recommend that don’t stop
don’t be satisfy just keep gather more information that will help you improve your own skill.
