DEKAD NO. 15 21 – 31 MAY 2023

Philippine Agri-Weather Forecast

PHILIPPINE AGRI-WEATHER FORECAST
The weather systems that will likely affect the whole country are the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), southwesterly windflow, tropical cyclone, and localized thunderstorms.

Cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms will be experienced over Palawan while the rest of the archipelago will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms during the first half of the dekad. After this, Southern Luzon, Visayas, Cagayan Valley and the province of Aurora will gradually experience cloudiness with rainshowers and thunderstorms due to the approaching tropical cyclone. However, the said weather disturbance is expected to move northwest and possible to bring bad weather over the extreme portion of Cagayan Valley during the latter part of the dekad. Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, and the rest of Luzon will be cloudy with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms while the remaining areas of Mindanao will generally have good weather except for some chances of isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

Winds coming from the southwest to west will generally be experienced over the country during the first half of the dekad. However, as the tropical cyclone moves closer, winds from the northeast to northwest will gradually prevail over Luzon and Eastern Visayas while the remaining areas of the country will have winds from the southwest to west. The tropical cyclone will enhance the southwesterly wind flow as it moves towards northwest of Luzon during the latter part of the forecast period. Gusty winds is possible to be experienced over the extreme Northern Luzon due to the tropical cyclone.

Slight to moderate seas will generally be experienced over the whole archipelago during the first half of the dekad. However, the tropical cyclone is expected to bring rough to very rough seas over the northern and eastern sections of Luzon as it moves towards the country. The rest of the archipelago will have moderate to rough seas.

Recent conditions and model forecasts indicate that El Niño may emerge in the coming season (June-July-August) at 80% probability and may persist until the first quarter of 2024. With this development, the PAGASA El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Alert and Warning System is now raised to EL NIÑO ALERT

*DA expands investments in agri-fisheries, introduces 4 new projects with P65.3-B funding
Author: DA-AFID | 16 May 2023

“The Marcos Administration will continue to push for stronger support for the sector, because expanding investments in food production will create jobs and promote progress,” Department of Agriculture (DA) Senior Undersecretary Domingo Panganiban said.
As part of the National Farmers’ and Fisherfolk’s Month (NFFM) celebration, the DA continued to honor the farmers and fisherfolk and their invaluable contribution to the country’s food security and economic development during the program on May 15, 2023.
Assistant Secretary for Operations Arnel De Mesa presented at the event the four new major projects of the DA to show the agency’s commitment to transforming the country’s agriculture and fisheries sector.
In partnership with international funding institutions such as the World Bank and the Food and Agriculture Organization, the recently approved projects include: 1) Adapting Philippine Agriculture to Climate Change (APA); 2) Philippine Fisheries and Coastal Resiliency Project (FishCoRe); 3) Scaled-up Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP); and 4) Mindanao Inclusive Agriculture Development Project (MIADP).
With a project cost of P2.3 billion, the APA aims at increasing the resilience of agri stakeholders in areas vulnerable to climate change particularly in the Cordillera, Cagayan Valley, Bicol, Northern Mindanao, and Soccsksargen regions.
The FishCoRe targets to improve management of fishery resources and enhance the value of fisheries production in select Fisheries Management Areas (FMAs) covering 24 provinces with P11.422 project cost.
The Scale-up PRDP will expand its coverage in 82 provinces nationwide with a total project cost of P45.012 billion to improve the farmers’ and fisherfolk’s access to markets and increase their incomes from agri-fishery value chains.
The MIADP, on the other hand, will focus on 26 ancestral domains in Regions 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and BARMM to sustainably increase their agricultural productivity, resiliency, and access to markets and services with a project cost of P6.625 billion.
“We will press on with our collaboration with members of the House and Senate as we support new legislation for the expansion of opportunities in our rural areas,” Undersecretary Panganiban said.
He added that the DA will continue to ease the burden of rising inflation and encourage growth in the countryside through its various programs for agriculture and fisheries.

The DA official also led the awarding of plaques of recognition to the following outstanding individuals and groups who are active partners of the DA in the implementation of its various programs for the sector’s sustainable development.
Undersecretary for Administration and Finance and 2023 NFFM Chairperson Agnes Catherine T. Miranda assured the agency’s commitment to deliver assistance the country’s food heroes.
“We at the DA commit to continue to work double time so we can achieve our goals together,” she said.
Miranda added that this year’s celebration of the NFFM is a symbol of the DA family’s unwavering commitment as public servants to work towards the upliftment of the lives of farmers and fishers as partners in national development. (Gumamela Celes Bejarin, DA-AFID)

**PAANO MASISIGURONG SAPAT ANG ITATANIM NA BINHI?
Sundin ang rekomendadong pagpapatubo! Ihanda na ang 40kg na binhi para sa isang ektarya at sundin ang mga sumusunod na hakbang:
Pagbabad Hugasan ang binhi at alisin ang mga lumutang na tulyapis o walang laman. Sa pagbababad, hatiin sa 2 sako ang 40kg binhi para makaalsa nang husto. Talian ang dulo ng sako. Ibabad ang binhi sa loob ng 24 oras. Palitan ang tubig kada 12 na oras kung sa drum o hindi umaagos na tubig ang pagbababaran.
Pagkulob Kulubin nang 24-36 oras sa malilim at nahahanginang lugar. Mainam na ipatong sa paleta o kahoy ang mga sako ng binhi bago kulubin.Hindi dapat sobra ang init sa pagkulob dahil maaantala ang pagsibol o kaya ay mamamatay ang mga binhi. Panatilihing basa upang maging parehas ang pagsibol ng mga binhi.
Pagpunla Ipunla ang pinatubong binhi kapag bahagyang sumibol na ang karamihan ng binhi. Huwag hayaang humaba ang mga ugat upang madali at pantay-pantay ang pagsasabog nito.
Habang pinapatubo ang mga binhi, ihanda ang 400 metro kwadradong punlaan. Pumili ng lugar na:

Madaling puntahan,hindi nalililiman, madaling patuyuan at patubigan.
Malayo sa poste ng ilaw para hindi puntahan ng mga pesteng kulisap sa gabi
Hindi inatake ng sakit sa nakaraang taniman
Mataba ang lupa, base sa resulta ng mga nagdaang taniman
Madaling kontrolin ang mga daga, ibon at kuhol.

Tandaan, sa pag-abot ng mataas na ani, kaakibat ng dekalidad na binhi ang wastong pagpapalaki ng punla. Ang punlang malalago ay mabilis ang pagbulas, matibay sa mga peste at mas madami ang suwi.
Tutok lang sa DA-PhilRice para sa mas marami pang tips at tricks sa pagpapalayan! #PhilRice #QualityRiceQualityLife
