Special Purpose Rice (SPR) is a technology that consists of different rice varieties that were developed by Central Luzon State University. The unique varietal characteristics of SPR are pigmented, glutinous, good-yielding varieties planted in lowland areas. This study was conducted to increase farmers’ income through employing different promotion and extension activities and enterprise development. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Cost and return and benefit-cost analysis were used to determine the financial benefits of using the SPR in different production systems. Results revealed that incorporating the following parameters is critical in the sustainable adoption of the SPR. Amongst them are: ensuring that recommended production technologies are strictly followed by the farmers, ensuring the quality of seeds for planting, the presence of a market for the produce, engaging the farmers in value-adding activities like processing, capability development in entrepreneurship, and adopting clustering approach of the farmers to address economies of scale in marketing and processing. The use of SPR produced an average yield of 6.11 MT/ha and 5.04 MT/ha during the dry and wet seasons from 2021-2023, respectively, higher than the usual varieties of inbred rice. The net benefit from producing a CLS-2 variety of SPR is higher than regular rice, having an average difference of Php 22,355.53 per hectare from 2021-2023.

普通语文词典收录专业术语是词典编纂的重要论题之一。文章利用文献计量法,对中国知网与Web of Science文献库中普通语文词典专业术语处理的相关文献进行了发文统计和共现关键词聚类分析;探究了普通语文词典专业术语处理的主要内容。研究发现,宏观结构方面可大致分为三个重要论题:普通语文词典是否收录专业术语、收录什么专业术语以及如何收录专业术语;微观结构的讨论则包括释义风格、释义方式等。普通语文词典对专业术语的关注度仍需提高,相关研究的方法与视野需拓展,同时还需不断优化普通语文词典中专业术语的处理。
