“…Large variability in cropping systems exists in rainfed dryland regions, with intercropping being more common. Furthermore, cropping systems have a significant impact on the sustainability of conservation agriculture [6]. The Conservation Agriculture in Forest Ecosystem (CAFÉ) Project established by Apayao State College aimed to promote environmentally sound farming systems model under forest canopy in the uplands of Apayao.…”

The study was conducted to determine the growth and yield of mungbean integrated as a cash crop in the Conservation Agriculture in Forest Ecosystem (CAFÉ) Project sites at Barangay Guina-ang, Conner, Apayao. The CAFÉ Project was launched with the intention of promoting environmentally sound farming practices in the uplands of Apayao. The four mungbean varieties: NSIC Mg 05 – Pag-asa 11, NSIC Mg 12 – Pag-asa 19, NSIC Mg 09 – Pag-asa 15, and NSIC Mg 17 – Pag-asa 17 were planted around 2 meters away from the nearest trees in partially-shaded areas with slopes not exceeding 50 degrees. It was laid out in 5 m x 10 m quadrants arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Results of the study revealed that V1 and V2 were late maturing (86.50; 87.16 DAT), taller (65.25; 68.85 cm), had more pods per plant (16.72; 15.92), longer pod length (9.42; 9.36cm) more seeds per pod (12.42; 10.88), heavier seed weight (33.46; 28.49g) and higher seed yield (656.45; 610.20 kg/ha) as compared to V3 and V4. In conclusion, NSIC Mg 05 – Pag-asa 11 and NSIC Mg 12 – Pag-asa 19 had better growth performance and yield in partially shaded areas integrated as a cash crop in the CAFÉ Project site at Conner, Apayao.
