The regional office of the Department of Agriculture in the region has partnered with the SeedWorks Philippines Inc. in establishing a 60-hectare demonstration farm for the propagation of Tatag Hybrid (TH) 82 hybrid rice variety which is expected to help farmers reduce their farm inputs, particularly water requirements.
The regional office, headed by Engr. Milagros Casis, has established the demonstration farm in Lambayong, Sultan Kudarat to test the productivity of the variety, which uses the Climate Smart Agriculture Technology through dry-seeding, in its pursuit of helping farmers earn more from their rice farms.
