RAT infestations in the provinces of Isabela and Quirino in Cagayan Valley resulted in damage to 10,000 hectares of palay. | |||
Region II Agriculture director Lucrecio Alviar, Jr. said about 7,977 hectares of crops were damaged in Isabela while at least 1,070 hectares were destroyed in Quirino. | |||
Most of the destroyed crops were planted near the creeks and irrigation canals. | |||
Although the infestation has already been contained, Alviar said the affected areas still comprise 15 percent of the 51,497 hectares of planted areas. | |||
The DA through the Cagayan Valley Integrated Agricultural Research Center provided affected farmers with 27 kilos of rodenticides aside from conducting massive rat baiting campaign. | |||
Massive information campaign was also undertaken to teach farmers and other rural folks on how to effectively control rats and prevent similar occurrences. | |||
