CABARROGUIS, Quirino, October 24 (PIA) -- Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary Proceso Alcala urged the farmers here recently to practice organic agriculture as he assured them that the DA will be providing assistance for the production center of BIO-N and tricogramma during his visit in the province recently. | |||
In his meeting with the farmers, Alcala assured that he will maximize his time and effort to attain the Department’s goal of food sufficiency through organic agriculture. | |||
Bio-N fertilizers is a solid inoculant in powder form that contains two important strains of bacteria capable of converting atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into a form usable by rice and corn plants. It contains bacteria that can enhance root development, growth and yield of rice, corn and other crops. | |||
Trichogramma, on the other hand are tiny black wasps that lay eggs inside the eggs of corn borers and other moths and when they hatch, they begin to eat the developing caterpillar inside the egg. | |||
The Trichogramma wasp is an effective biological control agent against the Asian corn borer (Ostrinea furnacalis) and similar pests. | |||
Secretary Alcala likewise urged the farmers to sustain their upland rice production using the province’s traditional varieties for local consumption and export. Technical and funding support from the DA was also committed for this purpose. (TCB/PIA 2) | |||
