This study aims to promote and demonstrate the improved IPM and INM strategies in mungbean for farmers' adoption. Five different treatment (T1 - Farmer's practice or no application; T2 - Carrageenan PGP; T3 - Boron Fertilizer; T4 - Vermi-tea and T5 - Metarhizum) were tested in major mungbean growing areas of Region 2 [Cagayan Valley, Philippines] (rice-based and con-based condition). Results of the trails revealed that the application of Oligo-Carageenan PGP economically increased yield by 546.9 kg/ha or 50.7% under com-based areas and 500 kg/ha or 74% under rice-based areas with additional profit or net income of Php36,145.00 and PhP24,065.00, respectively. Based on the observations, UPL Mg 7 (Pagasa 7) variety applied with Carrageenan PGP were found to have more branches; minimal or absence of Cercospora leaf spot; more flowers that developed into pods; larger and heavier seeds; extended flowering and fruiting prolonging harvest time; number of priming increased from 3 to 6; and has extensive/better root system. On the other hand, spraying of Boron Fertilizer is capable of increasing yield by 333 kg/ha or 30.9% in corn-based and 237.3 kg ha-1 or 35% in rice-based areas with additional net income ranging from PhP 10,315 - PhP14,665.00. Further, application of Vermi-tea is effective in increasing yield of 100-300 kg ha-1 with additional net income or profit of PhP5,000 - PhP13,000.00. All tested foliar fertilizers are generally effective in improving the yield of UPL Mg 7 (Pagasa 7) when applied three times (at 14-15 days interval after 14 DAE).
