Abstract

The study sought to determine PalayCheck institutionalization at the municipal level. A total of 230 farmers and 28 agricultural technologists in six municipalities in Luzon served as respondents of the study. Primary data were gathered using semi-structured survey instruments. These were tabulated and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings of the study showed that PalayCheck institutionalization at the municipal level is currently at moderate stage. This means that the system is still at a stage wherein shared social meanings are still being developed and the drive for diffusion is more of through selective adoption. This further indicated that there is no guarantee that the PalayCheck system will be fully accepted and valued at the municipal level since the current activities are mostly externally-driven.
