Adlay is considered an alternate staple food crop in the Philippines while napier is a versatile multipurpose fodder crop. Effective intercropping and fertilization strategies for the production of these crops could help address the problems on food and feed supply. The objectives ofthe study were to 1) evaluatethe growth and yield of adlay with napier at various fertilization scheme; 2) determine the appropriate intercropping and fertilization schemes for maximum adlay production; 3) appraise the efficiency of intercropping scheme; and 4) assess the profitability of intercropping adlay with napier at various fertilization scheme. The study was laid out in split-plot with three intercropping scheme (C1=Monocrop adlay, C2=Adlay with napier at 1:1 row ratio, and C3=Adlay with napier at 2:1 row ratio) and five fertilization schemes (F0=Unfertilized, F1=120kg ha-1 N inorganic fertilizer, F2=60kg ha-1 N inorganic fertilizer+ 1t ha-1 chicken dung, F3=30kg ha-1 N inorganic fertilizer+ 1 .5t ha-1 chicken dung, and F4=2t ha-1 chicken dung). Fertilization scheme significantly affected the days to flowering and maturity, vegetative tillers, plant height, number of productive and unproductive tillers, panicle length, herbage and grain yields of adlay and also the tiller and herbage yield of napier as well as the land equivalent and area time equivalent ratios. Fertilization with pure inorganic fertilizer or with combinations ofchicken dung had ROI of 1.31 to 1.44 per peso invested.

Application of fertilizers is essential to sustain the yield of forage crops, hence, this study was conducted to: 1) evaluate the effect of different nitrogen fertilization rates on the growth and yield of signal grass and 2) determine the appropriate nitrogen fertilization rate for optimum production of signal grass. It was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications and five treatments (T0-Unfertilized, T1-30 kg N ha-1 ; T2-60 kg N ha-1 ; T3-90 kg N ha-1 and T4-120 kg N ha-1). The plant height, number of tillers hill-1 , fresh herbage yield and dry matter yield of signal grass were significantly affected by the different rates of nitrogen fertilizer. Increasing the levels of N fertilization correspondingly improved its overall performance with plants applied with 120 kg N ha-1 having the tallest, most number of tillers and heaviest fresh herbage and dry matter yields among fertilized plants. However, the appropriate fertilization rate for optimum production was 90 kg N ha-1 as the aforementioned parameters were comparable to that of the higher rate yet of lower amount of N fertilizer needed resulting in lower production cost and higher income.
