Crop Care PRO fertilizers and fungicide, i. e. Nutrivant, Nordox, NEB 88 Ultra, and Ferti-K used in the derby were also demonstrated.
Farmer-participants enjoyed a fruitful discussion about Condor varieties’ features and benefits and a happy photo-taking at the ABC’s Pinakbet crops in the field. ABC South Luzon field force facilitated the field tour discussions and workshop for the activity.
On the last day of the harvest festival, DA Region IV-A OIC-Regional Director Vilma Dimaculangan joined the ceremonial harvesting of vegetables from each company’s demo plot.
The event also included a short seminar to capacitate the farmers with knowledge on vegetable production and pest and disease management. Moreover, each company discussed its hybrid varieties, fertilizers, and other farming technology.
Fresh produce and actual products were also displayed at the ABC booths stationed beside the demo plot and workshop venue.
