                    [Summary] => 

Chinese agricultural crops now being tested in the country under a joint Philippine-China R&D project have initially shown promise of thriving under local conditions.


One of the promising crops is Yuctian #13, a super sweet corn hybrid. This is a short plant that is easy to manage owing to its resistance to diseases and tolerance to extreme weather. It also has a superb taste and appearance.


Two others are high-yielding varieties of soybean named Huaxia #13 and Huachun #1.

At the Ninoy Aquino Wildlife Parks in Diliman, Quezon City, a visitor can see about a thousand mango seedlings. 


These are not ordinary planting materials. They are seedlings of the country’s acknowledged sweetest variety of carabao mango named Sweet Elena.


At the San Marcelino (Zambales) campus of the Ramon Magsaysay Technological University (RMTU), a 1.5-hectare area also now serves as a space where Sweet Elena seedlings are grown.

                    [Summary] => Expect Zambales to become a "sweet tamarind country" soon.


Now paving the way for this is a government program that propagates and mass-produces sweet tamarind varieties for the benefit of places where this resilient fruit tree thrives.


"Zambales has been identified as ideal for tamarind planting because of its semi-arid lands although this crop can grow well in any type of soil and agri-climatic conditions," said the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Agricultural Research (DA-BAR).
