Interviews and actual yield sampling were conducted in 100 farms in Leyte [Philippines]. Most (84%) have low phosphorus content (5 ppm). Golden Yellow (58.5%) and Kadabao (34.5%) were the major variety grown. Stagger harvesting (91%) was the dominant practice. Majority of the farmers (82.5%) made low yield estimates (0.1-4t/ha). Actual yield sampling showed yields between 6-12t/ha (59%), 12 t/ha (27%) and 6 t/ha (14%). Based on the cultural management practices employed, yield can be greatly improved by fertilizer application and use of higher population density (710,000 plants/ha).
