Interviewer instructions
Listed under this column are the material inputs used in camote production.
To facilitate the interview, accomplish this block in horizontal manner. If there are two or more units of similar item acquired from different sources or different mode of acquisitions, separate answers by a slash (/).
Ask what inorganic fertilizer was applied in the focus camote parcel and encircle the corresponding code.
Specify the product name and the nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) contents.
Ask the farmer if he applied soil ameliorants in the focus parcel during the reference period. If so, write down in the space provided the product name of the soil ameliorants. Examples are: Lime, Zinc Sulfate (Zinc 21%), etc.
Record the product name of the pesticides used in the focus parcel.
Ask if the farmer applied herbicides/ weedicides and if so, specify the product name and write down in the space provided. The following examples are product names and the formulation types are emulsifiable concentrate (EC), soluble concentrate
(SC) and wettable powder (WP). Examples are: 2,4-d Amne, 40 EC; Access Atrazine WP, and Activo 22 SC.
Ask if the farmer applied insecticides and if so, specify the name and write down in the space provided. Examples are: ABATE SG; 5-STAR GENERAL EC; ACETAM 75 SP and AGRI-MEK 1.8 EC.
Ask if the farmer applied fungicides. If so, specify and write down in the space provided. Examples are: AGROMYL 50 WP; ALIETTE 80 WP; and AMISTAR 25 SC
Ask if the farmer applied rodenticides. If so, specify and write down in the space provided. Example is racumin.
Ask if the farmer applied molluscicides. If so, specify and write down in the space provided. Examples are: AQUADIN 70 WP; ARCHER 50WP; and CRUSHER 250 EC

Description
Text
Planting Materials (cuttings) - Refer to the type of planting material used.
Organic Fertilizer (specify product name and N-P-K) - refers to any product whose basic ingredients are of plant and/or animal origin that has been decomposed biologically, chemically, or through any process that makes the original materials no longer recognizable or to be soil-like in texture, which can supply nutrients to plants. Examples are: azolla, sagana 100, guano, bio-N, vermicasts, etc.
Inorganic Fertilizer (specify product name and N-P-K) - refers to any fertilizer product whose properties are determined predominantly by its content of mineral matter or synthetic chemical compounds. Also, any chemical compound, in liquid
or solid form, which contains concentrated amounts of at least one among: nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and potassium (K).
Enumerated in the questionnaire are the following:
3.01 Urea (45-0-0)
3.02 Urea (46-0-0)
3.03 Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0)
3.04 Ammonium Phosphate (16-20-0)
3.05 Complete (12-12-12)
3.06 Complete (14-14-14)
3.07 Complete (16-16-16)
3.08 Muriate of Potash (0-0-60)
Others (specify product name and N-P-K) - refer to other types of inorganic fertilizers used by the farmer.
Soil Ameliorants (specify product name) - refer to certain elements placed or mixed into the soil to replenish depleted soil nutrients for better plant growth.
Pesticides (specify product name) - refer to chemicals used to control/eradicate insects, pests and weeds. Pesticides of original form maybe in solid or liquid.
Herbicides/Weedicides - refer to a compound used to control weeds or unwanted plants. In terms of timing of application herbicides are broadly classified as pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicides, referring to the stage of growth of weeds.
Insecticides - refer to a compound used to control insect pests.
Fungicides - refer to a compound used to control fungus or fungal organisms.
Rodenticides - refer to chemical used to control pests like rodents or rats.
Molluscicides - refer to a chemical intended to control and destroy pest shells.
Organic Pesticides (specify product name) - are botanical extracts/spray, they are extracted from selected plants which underwent some processing. Some of these plants are Amarillo, jetropa, kakawate and neem tree.
