                    [Summary] => Mistisang talong, a new eggplant variety bred by a Los Baños scientist, continues to rate high among farmers in various parts of the country.


Its come-ons are its good qualities, particularly its high yield. As gathered by this writer, it has a maximum yield potential of 30 tons per hectare, as against the 15-20 t/ha of common eggplant varieties grown by farmers.


Tisay, as it has now come to be fondly called, is also resistant to weeds and plant pests and diseases and can weather typhoons.

Codenamed A300, the up-and-coming eggplant variety was bred by Dr. Rodel Maghirang of the UP Los Baños Institute of Plant Breeding (UPLB-IPB) under IPB’s plant breeding program.


"Mistisa" is white with purple stripes, grows to 20 centimeters long, has a long shelf life and acceptable quality and very prolific.
