Abstract

The experiment was conducted from June, 1969 to May, 1970 at the U.P. College of Agriculture Central Experiment Station with the aim of determining the most efficient and profitable upland crop among sweet corn (Philippine Hybrid 801), field corn (UPCA Var 1), sorghum (Darso Variety), mungo (CES 14) and soybean (CES 486), grown under recommended practices of continuous cropping for a duration of one year. Sweet corn has been found to be the most profitable crop to grow with a net return above all cost in one year amounting to P5478.30, followed by field corn with a net return of P2068.50. Sorghum gave a net return of P842.50 during the tree planting , while mungo incurred a loss of P164.40 during the three plantings. However, mungo showed a good potential as a dry season crop with a net profit of P306.20 during the second planting.
