DAVAO CITY – Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) chairman Secretary Emmanuel “Manny” Piol urged banana growers on Friday to consider sorghum farming while recovering from the effects of Fusarium wilt or Panama disease.
“Planting sorghum does not require you to overhaul the terrain of your fields so it will be easier to grow, and these are guaranteed to grow in your fields with lesser maintenance,” he said, during the Banana Fusarium Wilt Management Forum in Tagum City, Davao del Norte.
He also noted that sorghum produces thrice the amount of yield from one planting alone.
