Take this advice from Dr. Rodel Maghiran, director of the DA-High Value Crops Program (DA-HVCCP).


Now widely adopted by mango growers, this simple technology can also be applied to pomelo.


Fruit bagging, which is the wrapping of fruits with paper bags, protect fruits from pests and brings about unblemished appearance which is a main factor considered by consumers.


Researchers have shown that bagging can reduce spraying of insecticides.

                    [Summary] => Mistisang talong, a new eggplant variety bred by a Los Baños scientist, continues to rate high among farmers in various parts of the country.


Its come-ons are its good qualities, particularly its high yield. As gathered by this writer, it has a maximum yield potential of 30 tons per hectare, as against the 15-20 t/ha of common eggplant varieties grown by farmers.


Tisay, as it has now come to be fondly called, is also resistant to weeds and plant pests and diseases and can weather typhoons.
