Farmers' varietal characterization prowess up!

A training course on characterization of rice varieties was held at Banaue Hotel, Banaue Ifugao on 4-5 August 2015. In attendance were twenty-three Local Government Unit (LGU) technical staff and farmers who are partners of the DA-IRRI Heirloom Rice Project from Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga and Mt. Province. The activity, which was coordinated by DA-CAR's Ms. Virgie Tapat and Ms. Josie Orlang, had Mr. Renato Reaño and Ms. Pauline Capistrano of IRRI as lecturers/facilitators.
