The first Varietal Trial was done on first cropping season last year. The result of the first varietal trial will be the baseline for the second and third trials to come up realistic results. This second cropping, there are three (3) varieties planted which are recommended variety in San Agustin namely; NSIC RC160, NSIC RC 154, & NSIC RC 150. Whatever result of this Trial Demo will be made available in the SanAgFITS Center Office and disseminated to the farmers.
In the photos, while the seedling and land preparation is on going; the first activity done last June 2010 was focus group discussion with the farmers adjacent to the Demo site. The purpose is to establish a group of farmers to observe the demo site and would share their best experiences with the farmer-partner. There will be a farmers field day before the harvest time.
The FITS staffs are also on the go whatever the activities in the field...
