Languyan farmers ready to plant

Farmers in Brgy. Darussalam, Languyan, Tawi-Tawi have prepared their planting materials after completing a week-course on the PalayCheck System facilitated by Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) in Bual Norte, Midsayap. The training equipped more than 30 farmer-members of the Siratang Food Basket Association. Researcher Datu Ali Sumlay trained them on proper fertilizer management, agroecosystem analysis, pest damage assessment, among other rice production components. A techno-demo farm was also established in the area to showcase the performance of high-yielding rice varieties. The project involves the local government unit of Languyan headed by Mayor Abduhasan Ismail Sali and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Agrarian Reform (MAFAR) Tawi-Tawi.
