MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, April 23 (PIA) -– Coconut farmers from municipalities affected by the brontispa have reported positive results in the treatment of this infestation. | |||
According to Carmelita Maturan, coconut development officer of the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) Provincial Office, the remedy they have employed may have proven to be effective since latest accounts of farmers suggest that the dessicated coconut leaves affected by the insect are progressively being replaced by regular green and healthy leaves. | |||
However, treatment is not a hundred percent. | |||
“The fight against Brontispa will always be existent. Hence, continued upkeep and maintenance of the coconuts should be exercised,” Maturan said. | |||
Some of the control measures that PCA recommends are the mechanical control which involves cutting and burning, spraying insecticides, and utilizing biologically controlled parasitoids. | |||
Currently, there are nine municipalities in Southern Leyte that are threatened by Brontispa: Maasin, Macrohon, Padre Burgos, Malitbog, Tomas Oppus, Bontoc, Sogod, Liloan, and Hinunangan. | |||
The Department of Agriculture is leading the Brontispa fight and is constantly supplying chemicals and fertilizers to local farmers. The PCA are also closely monitoring the condition of our province’s coconut farms to ensure substantial recovery from the insect attacks. (ldl/esg/Yevgeny Duarte, Student Intern/PIA8 SoLeyte) | |||
