In 2004 wet season, one of the pilot sites of the preliminary trial of the Philippine Palay Check system for transplanted irrigated lowland rice was established in New Murcon, Llanera, Nueva Ecija [Philippines]. This project aims to develop and evaluate a Philippine Rice Integrated Crop Management System that can facilitate the adoption of best management practices. The goal of Palay Check is to improve yield, grain quality, and profit without harming the environment. The variety planted by the farmer cooperators was PSB Rc14. The eight major key check areas of Palay Check System that were included in the technology recommendations were seed quality, land preparation, crop establishment, nutrient management, water management, pest management, harvest management, and post-harvest. The farmer who achieved the most number of key checks obtained the highest grain period. Moreover, as the number of key checks achieved increased, the grain yield also increased. Among the key check areas, the most commonly achieved/ checked by farmers were in the areas of crop establishment, water and harvest management followed by the post-harvest and pest management. The use of high quality seeds, land preparation and nutrient management were the areas where most farmers failed to achieve. The key checks and technology recommendations maybe modified in the succeeding trials.
