Agroecosystem analysis of Ikloy River Watershed in Indang, Cavite [Philippines]
1994
Sedigo, N.A.
Analysis showed that cropping systems have significant relationship with age, and farming experience. Cropping system and farm size have highly significant relationship. Factors that determined the system properties or behaviour of the watershed ecosystem were classified as positive or negative. Soil and water conservation practices mixed or multiple cropping system, land suitability and capability classification, maintenance of diversity, development of other sources of water, development of alternative sources of income, absence of big land owners and regulated resource use are factors that contribute to the productivity, stability, sustainability, and equitability of the Ikloy river watershed. The negative factors are inadequate agricultural support services. Natural calamities like typhoons, droughts, inefficient water supply and distribution system, land conversion, fluctuating market price, pests and diseases, soil erosion and the absence of a watershed protection program. An impact flow diagram revealed that performance and behaviour of the farm systems directly affect the productivity, stability, sustainability and equitability of the watershed ecosystem
