CABARROGUIS, Quirino, February 1 (PIA) -- The Department of Agriculture and the National Irrigation Administration conducted a consultation forum on the proposed adoption of the proposed Five-Croppings in Two Years Scheme last Friday, January 27, 2012 at the Magat River Integrated Irrigation System Multi-Purpose Hall, Cauayan City. | |||
In his presentation, Vicente E. Galvez, Regional Irrigation Manager of the National Irrigation Administration Administration-Region 2, said that the proposed scheme will effect to a 175,356 metric tons increase in palay production for the service area of NIA-Region 2. “This means additional income for our farmers in the area,” he said. | |||
“Under the proposed scheme, there would be five croppings starting January 2012 until December 2013. The last day of irrigation water delivery for the first cropping or regular dry crop for 2012 would be in March 26 and irrigation water delivery for the second cropping (regular wet crop 2012) would immediately start in April 10. This would allow a third cropping or late wet crop for 2012 starting September 4,” Galvez explained. | |||
On the other hand, Lucrecio C. Alviar, Regional Executive Director of the Department of Agriculture -Region 2 stressed that with the advent of climate change, there is a need to revisit the way of doing things, particularly the cropping patterns. | |||
Farmer leaders who attended the consultation welcomed the new scheme. However, they expressed apprehensions on the availability of seeds and also the nutrient requirements of the soil, considering the short period of its recovery from the previous cropping. | |||
Director Dante S. Delima, assistant secretary and national director of the AgriPinoy Rice Program of the DA, said the activity was just the initial consultation and if all stakeholders agree to the scheme, the DA would focus its resources towards providing the necessary interventions to ensure the success of the program. | |||
MARIIS officials will be conducting a workshop this week to further discuss the feasibility of the scheme in its service area in line with the projects it is scheduled to implement this year. (TCB/PIA 2 with Melissa C. Agbisit) | |||
