Project Summary
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), a botanically fruits of the Salicaceae
(nightshade), is cultivated in polybag with a total of 100 bags at South Ville 9,
Pinugay, Baras, Rizal. The project adopted the organic farming and ended with
only 3 harvests.
The project has a gross sales of two hundred forty-five pesos (245.00), a
net income of negative two-thousand six hundred sixty-three pesos and seventy-
five cents (- 2,663.75) , with a total expenses of two thousand nine hundred eight
and seventy-five pesos (₱2, 908.75).The project ended with a return on
investment of ninety-one and point fifty-eight percent (- 91.58 %).
The occurrence of typhoon, infestation of ants and fungi , and change in
temperature hindrance the maximization of the production which led to a
negative ROI.
To improve the production, the proponent recommended that the crop
should be cultivated in an appropriate area and season, and to use an early
strategy in avoidance of pest infestation.
The project of production of tomato in an urbanize area is a holistic
method in amid of pandemic. It helps the individuals in the community to sustain
their needs in terms of food and income. Moreover, adoption of organic in
growing tomato will ensure the safeties of both farmers and consumers.

INTRODUCTION
Background Information
The course Bachelor of Science in Agriculture is a technical field. Student
involvement in actual training is necessary. It is the most effective method to
evaluate the skills and learning of a student and will also expose them to the
reality of the said course. The student is expected to demonstrate the knowledge
that they had acquired during the past 2 years of an online class in the said
course. Circumstances of the pandemic have affected this subject, however this
year the course is conducted in a home-based setting.
The project mainly focused on tomato cultivation in an organic system
procedure. Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) is an herbaceous plant that originated
from America and is known before as a wild plant. Today, it is considered as a high
valued crop with its various uses including in foods, cosmetic and pharmaceutical
industry. This plant grows to 1-3 m in height with weak woody stem. Its fruit exhibit
almost spherical to oval and elongate to pear-shaped in a green when it is unripe and
red, to orange color when it is ripe. The recommended season to grow tomato is
before summer, cooler climate is favor for the best growth of this crop. In the
Philippines, cropping season occurs from September to January in highlands and
from November to February in lowland. Tomato can be cultivated in wide range
of soil as long as drainage and physical soil structure is good. In terms of irrigation, this
1
Main Campus Tanay
College of
Agriculture
crop requires a constant supply of moisture during the growing season with 214 - 706
thousand gallons/acre of water per season to produce a high yielding crop. Tomato
can be cultivated either indoor or outdoor and can be planted in containers or
polythene bag which is perfect for urban gardening. Furthermore, backyard
cultivation of the said crop became a trend in the beginning of pandemic as it
doesn’t require a large area. It may not be a seasonal crop for the allotted time
for the activity, but since tomatoes are adaptable it can survive humid and sunny
weather. Thus this crop was chosen as the focus of the project.
Objectives of the Project
General:
The project aimed to develop sustainable agriculture that can produce
healthy and quality agricultural products with the adaptation of organic
agriculture. This will be a gateway to introducing the proper organic agricultural
process to the community and will create awareness of the benefits it can
provide. The community’s perception of this will help the establishment of
promising support in agriculture as they will help in the conservation,
rehabilitation, and protection of the natural resources that are necessary for
sustainable agriculture.

Specific:
1) Perform a complete cycle production of the tomato.
2) Produce quality agricultural products with the proper application of the
organic agriculture system.
3) Create a proper budget plan
4) Show the market potential of the commodity tomato
Significance of the Project
The project intends to evaluate the skill and knowledge of the student that
they have acquired during the past years as a student under the Bachelor of
Science in Agriculture. It will challenge them to be critical in every decision,
particularly in farm planning and budgeting. The result of this project would be
beneficial for the student, the entrepreneur mind will be enhanced and it may be
useful for their future plans after graduating in the said course.
Scope and Delimitation
The scope of the project focused on the organic production of tomato crop
with a minimum of 100 polybag polybags. The project is implemented inside the
community of South Ville 9 Phase 2 where the student resides. Cultivation of
tomato is started on July of 2022 and ended until the first cycle of the cultivation
is achieve which is expected to be on December of the same year. Output of the
cultivation is sold inside the market of the said community where the project was
done and to a nearby community of Paenaan.

Site Selection
The project was implementation at the residential area of the proponent.
Since that the proponent lives inside a relocation area, South Ville 9, there is no
vacant lot available. Thus the project was chosen to be implemented at the
rooftop house of the proponent.
Soil media Preparation for Seedbed
Seedbed Preparation
After making sure the egg tray are free from ants and any insect that may
consume the seed, it was then filled with the garden soil, a mixture of loam soil,
vermicast and rice haul. The seedbed is fragile when expose to water or any
moisture, this can invites ants and termites and putting the planted seeds in risk
of being consume by this pest, levitation of the seedbed from the ground is
necessary to prevent this occurrence. The student used a recycle fly wood as a
support for the egg tray and a coconut shell for levitation.
Sowing of Seeds
Tomatoes are planted indirectly, it’s the best practice for crops with small
seeds to prevent pest such ants in consuming it. Indirect planting also increases
the rate of germination for easy cultivation. After preparing the seed bed (using
an egg tray filled with garden soil), seeds are planted for about 1 inch depth with
8
Main Campus Tanay
College of
Agriculture
2-3 seeds per hole. Germination for the Tomato Brave variety would take about
10 days until the sprout come out.
Watering of plants
Water is the most abundant element that we can supply to crops but is the
most neglected. Plant primary need is sunlight and water for it to sustain its
photosynthesis. For the seed germination watering, a water bottle is used with its
cover were pin holed, with this water and pressure can be easily controlled. After
sometimes hand sprinkler are use in watering the crops. Water supply is usually
from rain-harvest and water supply from the community.
Production Organic Pesticide
Making chili-garlic pesticide for tomato pest. Chop the garlic (6 cloves) and
chili (6 pieces) into small bits and pour it in a bottle of water along with
dishwashing liquid, oil, and vinegar. The mixture is soaked for 7 days and it is
ready for use.
Pest Profiling/ Organic Pesticide Application
Tomatoes, eggplant and okra came from the same genus Solanum which is a
popular food source for many pests. Tomato is no difference to the original
tomato when it comes to pest. Starting from seed germination, ants can feeds in
the seeds immediately. Once it’s sprout out aphids and larvae can start harboring
and feed on its leaves. When it bears fruits chiefly can eat and lay eggs on it.
9
Main Campus Tanay
College of
Agriculture
Pest can also trigger diseases; they can act as a vector for micro bacteria and
viruses to the crops.
Using the self-improvise organic pesticide, mix it with water with a ratio of 1:4.
Through foliar application, mixture is sprayed during afternoon onto leaves and
fruits. Pests that died on the leaves must be remove and the sprayed parts of the
crops are rinse with water as the oil in the mixture can burn the leaves when
expose to sunlight.
Preparation of materials for the making of organic fertilizer
Right ingredients must be used for the production of the fertilizer in order to have
the right nutrition supply for the tomato. Just like any crop NPK must be abundant
in supply as well as calcium and magnesium.
Calphos will supply the calcium and magnesium while the NPK will be supply by
the application if FPJ and FFJ. In order to have a good content of Nitrogen in
FPJ, leafy green crops are used in producing the fertilizer such kangkong,
petsay, and dahon ng kamote. For the supply of Potassium and Phosphorus,
banana, potato and carrots are the chosen ingredients for the production of
organic fertilizer.
Production of FPJ
Washing of the chosen ingredients are important to prevent any present of
bacteria that can contaminate the fertilizer. All ingredients are chopped with a 1
kg weight and 1kg of molasses is mixed in a jar. Anaerobic is used in the
10
Main Campus Tanay
College of
Agriculture
fermentation procedure which means the jar is securely covered to prevent any
air from entering the jar. The jar is stored in a dark cool place to let it undergo the
fermentation for 2 weeks.
Production of FFJ
After making sure all the fruits of the chosen crops are cleaned, it is then
chopped and mixed with a molasses in jar. Anaerobic is also used in the
fermentation. After securing the cover it is also stored in a cool dark place for 2
weeks of fermentation.
Application of organic fertilizer
After the sprouting of the tomato seeds, it will take a week to apply the fertilizer.
The right timing and the right fertilizer application is also very critical part as it can
affect crop development. Application of the 3 basic organic concoctions will
supply those nutrients that can improve the development of the commodity. This
will fasten its development.
From July 04, 2022, application of organic fertilizer is every week in order for the
crop to develop faster. It’s is applied 1 week after the sprouting of the seedlings
and will continue in every 2 weeks basis. During flowering stage, CalPhos is the
most important organic fertilizer, as the flower consumes more calcium for the
development of its fruit. A spraying bottle is filled with 3 L of water and with 1
tablespoons of each of the organic fertilizer of CalPhos, FFJ and FPJ.
Hardening
11
Main Campus Tanay
College of
Agriculture
Before transplanting, tomatoes are set off to sunlight. In the first day, the crops
are set off under sunlight from 7 am to 9 am. On the 3rd day, I’ll be 7 am to 10
am. This will let the crops to adjust slowly on the environment.
Transplanting
After 4-6 weeks, the commodity must be transplanted into a larger pot for its root
to grow freely. If it’s not transplanted and grows over the seedbed, it will hinder
the development of the root.
Tomatoes are carefully transplanted into a 5X5X9 polythene bag filled with
garden soil. The garden is a mixture of a loam soil, vertimax and rice hall. Each
crop is transplanted with a depth of 8 inch in the polythene bag.
Trellis support installation
Tomatoes have weak vines that cannot hold itself to stand. It needs support to
keep it off the ground. If it started lodging, immediate installation of support must
be done. Without the support the crops vines will have contact to the ground the
can stimulate fungus infection and will cause slugs and other pest to infest the
leaves.
Supports are built with two materials: bamboo stick and trellis wires. Bamboo
with a 12-18 inch is stakes on the ground and trellis wire are attached to the
bamboo and to the stem of the plant.
12
Main Campus Tanay
College of
Agriculture
Pruning
Pruning in tomatoes is also important. It can reduce the weight of the vine which
can prevent it from lodging. It can also stimulate the crops development by
removing those unnecessary parts of plant, this will manipulate the nutrient
supply and will be focused only on the development of other parts of the plant
like the flower.
Before starting the activity, materials are ensured to be clean, particularly the
pruning tool, unclean materials can stimulate the bacteria wilt on leaves. Pruning
was done by trimming all those leaves from 3-4 inch way from the ground; this
can prevent stimulation bacterial fungus. Leading is also done by cutting those
older leaves.
Harvesting/ Marketing
Harvesting will begin in the last week of August and will continue every week until
the 3rd week of September. Tomatoes are harvest when its green fruit starts to
appear with yellow or red on it regardless with the size. It is done every morning
and afternoon to ensure the quality of the cherries. Once it is harvested,
tomatoes are ready for sale, it will be transported to the market of the South Ville
9 Phase 2 Market and Paenaan “Veterans Public Market.

Problems Met
During the implementation of the project, the following problems have
arisen:
1. The implantation area. The direct heat of sunlight in the roof doubles the
heat produce which fastened the evaporation and drying of water and
resulted for plants to dry partially.
2. Occurrence of Typhoon. Due to the development of typhoons which have
affected the area where the project is implemented, the tomato plants
slanted and some flowers fell.
3. The occurrence of fungi on the first implementation of sowing of seedling
using egg tray which causes the delay of the progress of the project and
resulted for the proponent to change its seedling media.
4. Infestation of ants. During the flowering stage of tomatoes, the ants attack
the flower to eat its nectar which resulted to the drying and wilting of the
flower.
5. The sudden change of class schedule. To adopt with the new normal, the
campus of URS Tanay implemented the f2f , due to this changes the
proponent find it difficult to monitor the tomato plants which resulted to the
neglected of its wilting and dying, which is why the harvesting is not
completed.
19
Main Campus Tanay
College of
Agriculture
Recommendation
Based on the findings the proponent recommends:
1. Plant the tomato in an appropriate area wherein the water evaporation is
not high or used a mulching to reduce the evaporation to keep the plant
moisture.
2. Plant the crop in an appropriate season, although tomato can adopt on
different weather, appropriation can affect the total yield.
3. Always check the plants for any sign of pest infestation for an early
prevention.
Social Impact
The implemented of the project on tomato production help the student by
providing new experience in that is appropriate in the course Bachelor of Science
in Agriculture. The result maybe failed on creating an additional income source
for the proponent, but it made a realization of the potential of this project to be a
business if its management were successful and the maximization of its
production.
