Interviewer instructions
Listed under this column are the material inputs used in tomato production. To facilitate the interview, accomplish this block in horizontal manner. If there are two or more units of similar item acquired from different sources or different mode of acquisitions, separate answers by a slash (/).

For Seeds/ Planting Materials, ask the farmer on the type of planting material planted in the focus parcel during the reference period.

For Fertilizers, ask the farmer on the types of fertilizers used in the focus parcel during the reference period.

For Soil Ameliorants, ask the farmer if he applied soil ameliorants in the focus parcel during the reference period.

For Mulching Materials, ask the farmer if he applied mulching materials in the focus parcel during the reference period.

For Pesticides, (a) ask if the farmer applied herbicides/ weedicides and if so, specify the product name and write down in the space provided; (b) Ask if the farmer applied insecticides and if so, specify the name and write down in the space provided; (c) ask if the farmer applied fungicides. If so, specify and write down in the space provided; and (d) ask the sample farmer if there are other pesticides that he/she used during the reference period that is not previously specified.
Record the product name of the pesticides used in the focus parcel during the reference period.

Description

Definition
1. Seeds/ Planting Materials - refer to the type of planting material used.
1.01 Seeds - the grains or ripened ovules of plants used for sowing.
1.02 Seedlings - a young plant, especially one that rose from seed.

2. Fertilizers - refer to any material of natural or synthetic origin that is applied to soils or to plant tissues (usually leaves) to supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants.
Enumerated in the questionnaire are the following types of fertilizers:
2.01 Urea (45-0-0)
2.02 Urea (46-0-0)
2.03 Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0)
2.04 Ammonium Phosphate (16-20-0)
2.05 Complete (12-12-12)
2.06 Complete (14-14-14)
2.07 Complete (16-16-16)
2.08 Zinc Sulfate (Zinc 21%)
2.09 Muriate of Potash (0-0-60)
2.10 Crop Giant
2.11 Compost
2.12 Vermicast
2.13 Others (specify) - refer to other types of fertilizers used by the farmer not previously mentioned.

3. Soil Ameliorants - refer to certain elements placed or mixed into the soil to replenish depleted soil nutrients for better plant growth.
3.01 Lime (apog) - a additive made from pulverized limestone or chalk.
3.02 Others (specify) - refer to other soil ameliorants used by the farmer not previously mentioned.

4. Mulching Materials - refer to the layer of material applied to the surface of an area of soil to conserve moisture, improve the fertility and health of the soil and reduce weed growth.
4.01 Rice Hay (dayami) - is the vegetative part of the rice plant cut at grain harvest or after that can be used as mulching materials.
4.02 Others (specify) - refer to other mulching materials used by the farmer not previously mentioned.

5. Pesticides (specify product name) - refer to chemicals used to control/eradicate insects, pests and weeds. Pesticides of original form maybe in solid or liquid.
5.01 Herbicides/ Weedicides - refer to a compound used to control weeds or unwanted plants. In terms of timing of application, herbicides are broadly classified as pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicides, referring to the
stage of growth of weeds. The following examples are product names and the formulation types are emulsifiable concentrate (EC), soluble concentrate (SC) and wettable powder (WP). Examples are: 2,4-d Amne, 40 EC; Access
Atrazine WP, and Activo 22 SC.

5.02 Insecticides - refer to a compound used to control insect pests. Examples are: ABATE SG; 5-STAR GENERAL EC; ACETAM 75 SP and AGRI-MEK 1.8 EC.

5.03 Fungicides - refer to a compound used to control fungus or fungal organisms. Examples are: AGROMYL 50 WP; ALIETTE 80 WP; and AMISTAR 25 SC

5.04 Other Pesticides - refer to other pesticides used by the farmer not previously mentioned.
