PRACTICAL GUIDE TO BACKYARD AND ORCHARD FARMING |
|
|

Every Sunday Ka Bernie Dizon gives free lecture on
fruit tree propagation at the DENR-PAWB-Dizon
Botanic Fruit Garden at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and
Wildlife Nature Center, North Ave., Diliman, Quezon
City, near QMC (Quezon Memorial Center).
These lectures are now in book from titled
"Practical Guide to Backyard and Orchard Farming."
In the foreword, Rep. Romeo L. Kintanar of the second
district of Cebu wrote: "From now on we are using
this book to highlight the compelling example Ka
Bernie has made not only on me but also on the
mayors of Argao, Dalaguete, Alcoy, Bol joon Oslob,
Santander, Samboan, Ginatilan, Malabuyoc, Alegria,
Badian, Moalboal Alcantara, Ronda, and Dumanajug. |

"We will be using this book in our project as a
handy and practical guide in the implementation in
land preparation, varietal selection of the best
mangoes, pummelos, lanzones, rambutan, grapes,
mangosteen, lychees, ponkan, lanka, chicos and other
high value fruits; fertilization, maintenance and
management. It is comprehensive in subject matter
and at the same time detailed enough on the basic
technologies needed by the project participants.
"Finally, allow me to say few words about Ka Bernie who
has inspired the mayors of the second district as
well as myself whose will surely improve the quality
of life our people." |

Another
believer is lawyer Romeo T. Capulong. In the foreword, he
wrote: "Mr. Bernardo O. Dizon, one of the country's top
pomologist, is credited with his more than 30 years practice
in the field of fruit tree technology. A hands-on
agricultural scientist, his numerous breakthroughs in the
culture of grapes, durian, rambutan, mangosteen, lanzones,
lychee, longan, imported and native mangoes, Davao pummelo
and other who I am confident will eventually earn him the
coveted status of a national treasure.
"Dizon
lives on the simple commitment of sharing with his
countrymen the benefit of his expertise and in so doing, he
expects the government authorities to engage in large-scale
exotic fruit tree farming, which is a dollar-earning
industry. Where our neighboring country's agricultural have
learned their expertise from our agricultural school here.
Sadly, the fruit tree industry in the Philippines lags far
behind in productivity and sustainability."
