    Rationale:

    

    Romblon
is a missionary area of National Power Corporation. It is strategically situated
at the center of the Philippine Archipelago. It is composed of three major
islands namely Tablas, Sibuyan, and Romblon and seven minor and small islands.
It is surrounded by deep water and is bounded by the islands of Masbate in the
east, Mindoro in the west, Marinduque in the north and Panay in the south. It is
approximately 187 nautical miles and 169 air miles south of Manila. The total
land area of the province is approximately 1,355.9 sq. km. representing 5.30
percent of the land are of region IV-B. Adpulos is located in Tablas Island,
municipality of San Andres.

    

    Its
topography is generally mountainous with about 40% of its land area having
slopes greater than 50%. Only 4% of the total land area has 3-8% gradients and
10% has 0-3% inclination.  It has narrow strips of coastal lowland,
low hill and plains typify the topography of some of the islands.

    

    Romblon
has a population of about 264,457 living in 135,509 ha or about 0.51 ha per
person (2000 Census). Fishing and farming are among the major occupations making
rice and fish as staple food. Ironically, 80% of vegetable consumption is
imported from Mindoro, Batangas, Manila and Panay Island.

    

    Despite
of its strategic location, Romblon is among ten poorest provinces along with
Sulu, Basilan, Tawi-Tawi in the country’s 78 provinces.

    

    The
Romblon State University (RSU) commits to take lead in the conduct of
competitive studies, progressive leadership, advanced education, technological
and professional instruction, research and extension, and training in areas of
specialization such as agriculture and fishery, science and biotechnology,
education, arts, and other relevant fields of study. It is the only higher
education institution in the province with expertise in research and
development.

    

    Bamboo is
one of the 16 priority species in the Philippines for development. It grows
favorably in well drained sandy-loam and clay-loam soil with ph 5.0 to 6.0. It
is resilient in varying rainfall patterns and harsh weather conditions. Bamboo
grows in wide range of sites in tropical climatic condition within temperature
of 8.8-36 oc.  It
is traditionally used as food, shelter, firewood among others.

    

    Bamboo is
fast growing energy crop compared with local variety that produces highest
biomass of 40 to 50 tons per acre per year. It has only 12% moisture after one
week drying.  bamboo is tested as carbon neutral feedstock for biomass
gasifier. Matured culm has energy value of 4600 K.Cal./kg while the young culm
has 4000 K.Cal./kg. It is ecological to use young culm that has only 0.4% ash
content than matured culm with 4.0%.

SUMMARY:

      

      The
provinces of Kalinga and Apayao have about 199, 129 hectares of agricultural
production area for rice, corn and coconut. This generates a huge amount of
by-products and residues that can be used to generate energy year round.
Agricultural wastes in these provinces offer huge biomass potential utilization.
These major biomass/wastes resources are rice hull/ husk, rice straw, corn cobs,
corn husks, coconut wastes, and other agricultural residues.

      

      Rice hull
accounts for about 20% of the rice production while rice straws are field wastes
after the harvesting of rice and at harvest, a 5-ton rice straw produced from 5
tons of palay. Corn cobs and husk are biomass wastes after removing the kernels.
The major coconut wastes include coconut shell (12%), coconut husks (35%) and
coconut coir dust. The coconut tree also sheds its mature fronds of about 40
from time to time that weigh about 10 kg each.

      

      Consumption
of rice paddy straw can generate 2.6 kg/kWh, and the electricity production from
12.4 million tons paddy straw could be 4,770 GWh for power generation and around
1.8 to 2.8 kg of rice husk are necessary to produce 1 kWh of electricity. The
primary energy content of corn husk is 60,000 GJ/4.8Mtons and coconut shell and
leaves was found to be 104,400 GJ/5.8M tons.

                INTRODUCTION

              

      

      

      The
provinces of Kalinga and Apayao, being agricultural provinces in the Cordillera
Administrative Region grow crops like rice, corn, coconut, banana, pineapple,
bamboo, fruit and tree crops. About 199, 129 hectares of agricultural production
is devoted for rice, corn and coconut. This generates a huge amount of
by-products and residues that may be used to generate energy and development of
other products year round. Agricultural wastes in these provinces offer huge
biomass potential utilization.

      Agricultural
wastes are produced as a result of various agricultural operations. They include
wastes from farms, harvest waste, manure and other agricultural
residuals.  In the provinces of Apayao and Kalinga, the major wastes
produced are rice hull, rice straws, corn cobs, corn husks, coconut wastes and
other agricultural residues. These are usually burn or left to rot in the
fields.

      

      Alternatively,
energy sources should be tapped from these rich agricultural resources of the
province primarily the agricultural waste that can help fulfil the acute energy
demand and sustain economic growth.

      

      II.   BIOMASS
RESOURCES IN KALINGA AND APAYAO

      

      The
dominant economic opportunities and activities in the provinces of Kalinga and
Apayao are agriculture based, i.e. farming, poultry/livestock raising, and
weaving/carpentry/woodworks.  Rice, corn, banana, coconut and sugar
cane are the most abundant crops planted in the provinces. On the other hand,
the major biomass/wastes resources are rice hull/husk, rice straw, corn cobs,
corn stalks, coconut wastes, and other agricultural residues.

      Rice Hull and Rice
Straws.  Rice hull is a processing by-product of rice milling
and accounts for about 20% of the rice production while rice straws are field
wastes after the harvesting of rice. The country also has more than 12,000 rice
mills spread throughout the country. These processing centers are the point
sources of rice hull each year. Moreover, at harvest, a 5-ton rice straw
produced from 5 tons of palay can provide 25-40 kg nitrogen, 3-6 kg phosphorus,
60-85 kg potassium, 2-5 kg sulfur, 200-350 kg silicon, 2,000 kg carbon, and
several other nutrients, upon total decomposition

      

      Corn Cobs and Corn husks.
Corn cobs and husks are biomass wastes after removing the
kernels.

      

      Coconut Wastes .The major
coconut wastes include coconut shell (12%), coconut husks (35%) and coconut coir
dust. Among the three forms, coconut shell is the most widely utilized but the
reported utilization rate is very low. The most common use is shell charcoal
that are also exported and converted into activated carbon. The coconut tree
also sheds its mature fronds of about 40 from time to time that weighs about 10
kg each. It will take 5-6 years before the fronds mature which is one of the
field biomass. It is usually used as firewood for household cooking after
removing the leaves.

      Summary:

      Bayog (Dendrocalamus merillanus
Elm.) is a clump
forming and erect bamboo which is endemic to the Philippines. It is widely
distributed in Northern Luzon. It is widely  grown and utilized in the
province of Apayao.

      Bamboo
like bayog, is one of
the fastest growing-woody plant on Earth. Unlike trees, bayog bamboo species have the
potential to grow to full height and girth in a single season of 3-4 months.
During this first season, the clumps of young shoots grow vertically, with no
branching. In the next year, the pulpy wall of each culm or stem slowly dries
and hardens. The culm begins to sprout branches and leaves from each node.
During the third year, the further hardens. The shoot is now considered a fully
mature culm.

      Bamboo
such as bayog, is known to produce greater biomass and 30% more oxygen than
hardwood forest of comparable size (Klienhenz and Midmore , 2001) based
on  age class distribution of bamboo stems.  Results showed
that for most species culms are distributed between four years of growth. Their
average total biomass is 130-142 t/ha can therefore
re-work to show a maximum annual productivity of between 32 and 36 t/ha.

      Furthermore,
bamboo like those of bayog is more productive than many other candidate
bioenergy crops, it shares a number of desirable fuel characteristics with
certain other bioenergy feedstock, such as ash content and alkali index. Its
heating value is higher than most of agricultural residues, grasses and
straws.

      In terms
of their chemical properties, Monsalud and Nicolas (1958) found that bamboo
species like bayog,
contain ash, silica and pentosans than woods. Semana et al. (1967) found that the
Philippine bamboos had higher ash and silica content than those of Asian
bamboos, but lower lignin content than the Indian species. The silica content
increases in a linear fashion from internode 2 of the butt portion (1.6%) to
internode 30 (9.9%) in B. blumeana (Espiloy,
1983).

      Results
of studies on physical and mechanical properties  (Espiloy &
Sasondoncillo, 1976, 1978; Espiloy et al., 1979; Espiloy &
Robillos, 1985) showed a general increase in strength
properties towards the top portion of the culm of bamboo species. This
trend could be attributed to the corresponding increase in specific
gravity and fibrovascular bundle frequency (Espiloy et al.,
1986).

                INTRODUCTION

              

      

      

      Bayog (Dendrocalamus merillanus) is
a species of bamboo widely grown and utilized in the province of Apayao. It
belongs to grass family Poaceae, subfamily Bambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae, which has woody
stem or culm arising from rhizomes. The culms that grow in clumps are
essentially cylindrical and consist of nodes and internodes.

      

      This
erect and clump forming, attains a maximum height 15 m and a maximum diameter of
12 cm. It has green, smooth internodes, 15-30 cm long, with thick walls. Unlike
other erect bamboos, the stem of this species usually bend due to its pliable
nature forming a wider canopy of the clump. As such, most farmers plant bayog near their house or in
their farm house as evident in most farm house in Northern Luzon. This serves as
shade where farming families share their food together during lunch time. Others
used it as a fence due to its spiny branches.

      

      Bayog has wide range of
adaptation that it can thrive even in marginal areas. It is best grown near
rivers or in damp areas. It can be propagated from stem cuttings or from rooting
branches. Accordingly, farmers experienced that the rooted branches has greater
survival than stem cuttings.

      

        Bayog has been part of every
farming families in the Apayao and other parts of Northern Luzon. The young
shoots  are used as food and can be processed as pickles popularly
known as Atsara.
Matured stems are used in building constructions due to its pliability and thick
internode walls. Farmers used the stem for tying purposes. Trimmings of bamboos
are used as fuel wood and can be processed as charcoal briqutte. Some folks used
the leaves for medicinal purposes.

      

      Bamboo is
used in nearly every aspect of daily life. Its importance is better felt
and understood in areas where it abounds or where timber and
other traditional construction materials are not readily available or
are extremely expensive. It supports many major industries such as housing
and construction, handicraft and furniture, fishing, banana, food
production and paper. Bamboo has also been used for musical
instruments, for ornamental purposes and as a landscape material. As a
reforestation species, it helps control erosion and stabilize river banks.
It also helps preserve the ecological balance of an area. Bamboo has
become a popular material for these and other purposes because of its
availability, workability and low cost. Unlike timber which requires a
growing period of 20 years or more, bamboos can be harvested for use
at the age of three years

      

      Due to
the versatility of this giant grass, it is known as the "poor man’s timber", the
"cradle to coffin plant" and "green gold" bamboo has and still provides, the
materials needed for existence. Bamboo is also an eminently renewable resource;
under the right conditions they display prodigious rates of growth some species
can produce culms 40m high and 30 cm in diameter in just four
months.

                REVIEW
      OF LITERATURE

              

      

      

      Geographical
Distribution and Taxonomy

      

      Bayog
(Dendrocalamus merillanus
Elm) is clump-forming, erect bamboo species. It is widely distributed in
the Provinces of Northern Luzon. Clumps are densely tufted irregularly raised
above the ground with aerials roots on lower portions of culms.

      

      Growth

      

      Bamboos
such as bayog,  are the fastest-growing woody plant. They are capable
of growing up to 60 cm (24 in.) or more per day due to a unique
rhizome-dependent system. However, this astounding growth rate is highly
dependent on local soil and climatic conditions. Unlike trees, all bamboo have
the potential to grow to full height and girth in a single season of 3-4 months.
During this first season, the clumps of young shoots grow vertically, with no
branching. In the next year, the pulpy wall of each culm or stem slowly dries
and hardens. The culm begins to sprout branches and leaves from each node.
During the third year, the further hardens. The shoot is now considered a fully
mature culm.

      

      Site
Requirement and Cultural Management

      

      Bamboo
grows in a wide range of sites and elevations. The clump forming species like
Bayog,
Kawayan Tinik and Kawayan Kiling predominate in low to medium altitudes. It
grows at an elevation range from seal level to 1500 m above sea level. Altitude
affects the distribution of bamboo with respect to from or type.

      

      Chemical
Properties

      

      Monsalud
and Nicolas (1958) found that bamboos contain ash, silica and pentosans than
woods. Semana et al.
(1967) found that the Philippine bamboos had higher ash and silica
content than those of Asian bamboos, but lower lignin content than the Indian
species. The silica content increases in a linear fashion from internode 2 of
the butt portion (1.6%) to internode 30 (9.9%) in B, blumeana (Espiloy, 1983).
Shoots of three age levels (7, 10 and 15 days after emergence) of different
bamboo species were chemically analyzed by Gonzales and Apostol(l978) for
nutrient components. Results showed that the age level had no relation to the
nutrient contents of the shoots which were largely similar,

      Physical
and Mechanical Properties

      

      The
mechanical properties of six species, namely, B. blumeana, B. vulgaris, D.
merilliamus, G.aspera, G. laevis and S. lumampao have been studied so far
at the FPRDI as reported by Siopongco and Munandar (1987). Results of
these studies (Espiloy & Sasondoncillo, 1976, 1978; Espiloy et
al., 1979; Espiloy & Robillos, 1985) showed a general increase in
strength properties towards the top portion of the culm. This
trend could be attributed to the corresponding increase in specific
gravity and fibrovascular bundle frequency (Espiloy et al.,
1986). 

      

      Biomass

      

      Bamboos  like
clump forming species like Bayog,
Kawayan Tinik and Kawayan Kiling predominate in low to medium
altitudes,  are the fastest growing woody plant on Earth. It is known
to produce greater biomass and 30% more oxygen than hardwood forest of
comparable size.   Literature on bamboo productivity is scarce,
however, with the study of Klienhenz and Midmore (2001) tabulate the age class
distribution of bamboo stems. They show that for most species culms are
distributed between four years of growth. Their average total biomass figure of
130-142 t/ha can
therefore re-work to show a maximum annual productivity of between 32 and 36 t/ha. Anil-Kumar
et al.(1998) report
17 t/ha/yr for Acacia auriculiformis in
India, showing that the performance of Casuarina is good under dry tropical
conditions however, bamboo like those of bayog is more productive than many
other candidate bioenergy crops, it shares a number of desirable fuel
characteristics with certain other bioenergy feedstock, such as low ash content
and alkali index. Its heating value is higher than most of agricultural
residues, grasses and straws.

      

      Harvesting

      

      Harvesting
of bamboo is typically undertaken according to the following life cycles.  On life cycle of the
clump, as each individual culm goes through a 5 -7 year life cycle, culms
are ideally allowed to reach this level of maturity prior to full capacity
harvesting. The clearing out or thinning of culms, particularly older decaying
culms, helps ensure adequate light and resources for new growth. Well maintained
clumps may have productivity 3-4 times that of an unharvested wild clump. On
life cycle of the culm, bamboo is harvested from 2-3 years, depending on the
species.
