The study used 3 trials at different dilution rates of 100, 200 and 300 grams powdered rock in 8 and 12 liters of water. Results showed that dilution rates of 200 and 300 g of powdered rock lime killed the earthworms faster than 100 g dilution rate. The shortest time the earthworms died was at dilution rate of 300 grams with an average of 8.55 minutes followed by 200 g with an average of 9.44 minutes but with no signficant difference. At the lowest dilution rate of 100 grams, earthworms died the longest at an average time of 13.11 minutes. In all the dilution rates used, giant earthworms shrink rapidly except the head, some giant earthworms bled and were cut into two.

The study made use of wild sunflower leaves(Tithonia diversifolia), Madre de Cacao leaves (Gliricidia sepium), indigenous microorganism (IMO), Papaya Fruit Extracts (FPJ) and botanicals as sources of fertilizer and pesticide to reduce cost of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Integrate shells, watercress and other vegetables in farmer's rice field as additional sources of income and food for the family. Data on the socioeconomic profile of farmers in the study sites showed an average household number of 8 and consumed their rice harvest for an average of seven (7) months with an average income of P3,555.00/cropping. The experiment conducted in farmer's field showed a yield increase for indigenous rice varieties fertilized with organic fertilizers to a highest of 48.64 % and lowest of 8.65 %. Highest net income increase of 75 % and lowest of 0.94 %, highest ROI of 135 % and lowest of 84 % was realized. An increased yield of 22.8 %, highest net income of 62 % and return on investment (ROI) of 560 % was realized for high yielding rice varieties. Integrating fishes, shells and vegetables in the farm has added income ranging from P 415.00 to P1,840 pesos per cropping giving a net income increase ranging from 23 to 58 %.

The study identified and described plants used by farmers in the control of pest, identified plant part/s used, their preparation and application. Data were gathered using an interview schedule. Two hundred fifty (250) farmers from eight (8) municipalities of the province with knowledge and experienced on the use of botanical pesticides in their farms were the respondents Result showed that there are 47 pesticide plants used by farmers distributed across municipalities for the control of agricultural pests. Gandoricum vidalii Mer fruits, are most frequently used in the control of golden apple snail while Croton oil plant (Mollustus philippinensis) fruits are most frequently used in the control of giant earthworms. Pesticide plants identified ranges from vines, herbs, shrubs, small to medium to tall trees mostly found in higher elevation.
