| No amount of convincing could
make the farmers follow modern agricultural technologies unless they
actually see how those could benefit them. So, to satisfy the notion
'to-see-is-to-believe' attitude of farmers and even professional

in different strategic places in the country is necessary to
convince them to adopt new technologies and cultivars, particularly,
the multiple rootstock breakthrough. |

Pres. Atty. Hilario C. Ortiz (left) and Bernardo "Ka
Bernie" Dizon affix their signatures on a memorandum of
agreement (MOA) that sets up a plant nursery in the
three campuses of NEUST in Sumacab (half-hectare), Atate
(half-hectare) and Gabaldon (unlimited area). Right

Redentor Gatus (behind) peering over the signed MOA. At
extreme right is Magtanggol C. Vilar, a partner of "Ka
Bernie" in the plant nursery business since 1995
promoting the culture of high-value fruit trees, using
multiple-rooted technology which hastens the fruiting
period of the fruit trees without using too much
pesticides and fertilizer. Impressed by Dizon's
technology, Gatus granted Dizon and Ortiz's request for
a farmers' training center at NEUST-Sumacab compound in
Cabanatuan City. (Ver Sta. Ana) |
