The School of Agriculture and Agribusiness’s unrelenting efforts to achieve the outputs in
accordance with the objectives and commitments toward the Vision of the University, which
were made possible through collaboration between the University and its partners, as well as
resource allocation and use.

The project, "Agritourism Propensity of Competitiveness and the Role of

Agritourism's Impact on the Local Community in the Province of Isabela," was approved
by the university. One (1) of the study was partially accomplished.

The first study was led by Ms. Lacueva, the Study Leader. This study, titled "The
Competitiveness and Sustainability of Agritourism in the Province of Isabela," were already
completed. As a result, the following are the completed activities and those that remain to be
completed:

1. Thirty (30) registered agritourism were interviewed. The purpose of the aforementioned
study was to evaluate the effectiveness of agritourism in the face of the pandemic, how
these entrepreneurial activities give additional profit to the farmers and other stakeholders
and analyze the significant predictors or determinants that influence the competitiveness
and sustainability of agritourism in the province.

2.
 .
3. Encoded and tabulated the gathered data for Data Analysis. The data collected from the
30 respondents had recently been tabulated.

partially accomplished. The title of the Study is Potentials and Opportunity of Agritourism in
the Province of Isabela: A Profiling

Agritourism has been recognized for its efficiency in increasing income prior to the
production of crops or animals. Since it is now prevalent for Filipinos to travel for picnics and
celebrations, agritourism has seen growing demands. As a result, the study was only halfway
finished.  The output shown below was obtained.

1. Coordinated the aforementioned study on the DA-LGU Roxas for a list of non-registered
agritourism or the names of integrated farmers with at least 3 hectares farm.
2. 10% of the respondents (non-registered agritourism or 3 hectares above farm) had been
interviewed.

The Second study of the project after the mapping was led by Mr. Lacueva, the Study
Leader. This study, titled “Isolation of Indigenous of Entomopathogenic Nematodes on
Organic Agricultural System in the Province of Isabela”. The following documents depicts the
success of the study.

1. Set Up the Isolation room. Every trials have 20 soil samples for isolation. Each
suspension were introduced 2 cadavers of larva for baiting of EPN. 6 out of 20
isolates observed successful colonization of EPN thru discoloration as indication.
2. Successful Isolation. successfully discovered entomopathogenic nematodes on the
fourth trial of isolation, Failed on the first up to third trial of baiting nematodes and it
was successful in the fourth trial.

3. On- going production of the Entomopahtogenic nematodes that will be used for Invivo
pathogenicity test for fall army worm. Encircled image exudes EPN from cadaver.
