The researchers led by Evelyn F. Javier, a senior science research specialist, found that efficient management of irrigation water for the public hybrid rice varieties could spell higher yields.

Simply called agricultural tramline, this technology provides transport in production areas under extremely difficult conditions, said Dr. Ricardo L. Cachuela, BPRE executive director.

This practice, called rapid rotational grazing, can save raisers from the cost of medicine for killing the internal parasites in the goats, which is technically called anthelmintics. With the current prices of medicine nowadays, the cost of anthelmintics for 20 goats could run to P2,000 in a year.

PhilRice supervising science research specialist Dong Arida and his team found out in a three-year study that weekly removal of damaged eggplant fruits and shoots, coupled with less insecticide application, produces more fruits without the worms.

Since the biofuel initiative in the country today is very important for our survival,"we should be looking for the variety of major sources of biofuels that we can develop and sustain," Dar said in an e-mail to this writer.

"We need to promote and commercialize sweet sorghum for ethanol production," he said.
