10 - Day Regional Agri-Weather Information

DEKAD NO. 11      11 – 20 APRIL 2025

Philippine Agri-Weather Forecast
The weather systems that will likely affect the whole country are the easterlies, frontal system, and localized thunderstorms.
During early days of the dekad, mostly cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms are expected over Northern Mindanao, SOCCSKSARGEN, BARMM, Zamboanga Peninsula, and Palawan while the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies, with a possibility of isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, particularly in the eastern areas. After this, Easterlies will bring warm and humid weather conditions across the entire archipelago, with the possibility of localized rainshowers or thunderstorms, particularly in the eastern part of the country.

During the forecast period, winds coming from the east to southeast will prevail over the Northern and Central Luzon while east to northeast will prevail over the rest of the archipelago.

ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS: INACTIVE (Updated: 04 2025)

Recent DOST-PAGASA’s climate monitoring and analyses show that La Niña conditions are no longer present in the central and equatorial Pacific (CEEP). The sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) reached ENSO-neutral levels. La Niña-like patterns of above normal rainfall in some parts of Luzon, most parts of Bicol, eastern Visayas and northeastern Mindanao are not likely to linger, as noted in the forecasts. With this development, DOST-PAGASA ENSO Alert and Warning System Status is “INACTIVE” (El Niño or La Niña conditions are not observed or expected to develop in the tropical Pacific within the next three (3) months) and ENSO-neutral condition is favored until September - October-November 2025 season.

DOST-PAGASA will continue to closely monitor the La Niña conditions and updates will be issued accordingly. Meanwhile, the concerned government agencies and the general public are encouraged to stay updated and use the information for guidance and anticipatory action. https://pubfiles.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/climps/climateforum/outlook.pdf
Farm Advisories

FARM ADVISORIES:
Regularly inspect the crops for any signs of pests or diseases, and address possible outbreaks promptly to prevent further spread. Adjust the irrigation practices based on current weather conditions, soil type, and the specific needs of the crops. Inspect the irrigation practices to prevent root rot and other related issues Ensure that drainage canals are checked and cleaned regularly to avoid blockages. Schedule the harvests during dry weather to minimize spoilage, avoid the risk of fungal infections, and maintain the market quality of your produce. Handle the harvested crops with care to prevent damage and contamination during the transport. Be vigilant for symptoms of heat exhaustion, such as dizziness, nausea, and heavy sweating, and take immediate action to cool down and stay hydrated.

Charting the Path to a Climate Resilient Agriculture

Author: DA-AFID | 8 April 2025

To equip farmers—especially the marginalized sectors—with timely climate information, support inclusive agri-enterprises, and empower communities to lead climate adaptation efforts, the Adapting Philippine Agriculture to Climate Change (APA) Project is taking a decisive step to build the resilience of Filipino farmers by promoting Climate Resilient Agriculture (CRA).

The APA Project is a joint collaboration of the Department of Agriculture (DA), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PAGASA) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It is a seven-year initiative supported by USD 26 million fund from the Green Climate Fund (GCF), with an additional USD 13 million co-financed by the DA and the DOST-PAGASA. It is expected to indirectly benefit around five million (M) farmers through climate advisories and directly support 1.25-M members of vulnerable farming households through the adoption of CRA practices and the development of agri-enterprises.

The Project’s National Technical Working Group (TWG) conducted its first meeting on April 7, 2025 through hybrid setup (face-to-face and zoom) at the Amihan Conference Room, DOST-PAGASA, Quezon City. Presided over by DA Assistant Secretary for Operations U-Nichols A. Manalo, the meeting’s major highlight was the official endorsement of 100 priority municipalities from the five target regions—Regions 2, 5, 10, 12 and CAR identified through vulnerability assessments and their readiness for CRA interventions. Within these areas, the project will directly support 205,000 farmers in adopting CRA practices. In addition, at least 45,000 farmers are expected to engage in agri enterprise development, applying various CRA options to identified priority crops. The TWG also recommended the validation of priority crops through regional TWGs, which will serve as key entry points for scaling up climate-resilient technologies.
The enhancement of the Climate Information Service (CIS) platform hosted by the Agro-Climatic Advisory Portal (ACAP) of DA was another critical agenda taken up. The platform will be expanded to deliver more localized and tailored climate and weather advisories, enabling farmers to manage climate risks, improve productivity, and transition toward more resilient farming systems. The APA Project envisions an inclusive and accessible CIS, particularly for women, youth, Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Cultural Communities. It also aims to strengthen access to climate-resilient technologies, financing, and markets.

Representatives from the different DA bureaus, attached agencies, attached corporations, banner programs, Regional Field Offices —and key government agencies as members of the TWG attended the meeting.The TWG was created through the issuance of Special Order no. 550 Series of 2025 titled “Creation of Technical Working Group for the Implementation of the Project, ‘Adapting Philippine Agriculture to Climate Change” funded by the Green Climate Fund signed by DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr. last April 3, 2025. ###

Ngayong tag-init, subukan ang drip irrigation upang mabigyan ng sapat na tubig ang halaman. Mainam ang teknolohiyang ito para sa high-value crops at sa mga sakahang nasa matataas na lugar lalo na kung limitado ang supply ng tubig. Sa drip irrigation, maiiwasan ang mabilis na evaporation ng tubig at makakatipid din sa labor cost.

*** KINABILIBAN ang ating riding-type paddy seeder

Itinampok ngayong araw sa Brgy. Bangad, Cabanatuan City ang ating dinedebelop na riding-type paddy seeder na agad hinangaan ng ating mga ka-Palay. Kaya nitong magtanim ng hanggang 2.5 ektarya sa isang araw gamit lamang ang isang litrong gasolina kada oras. Mayroon itong walong hilera na sabay na nagkakanal kaya naman pantay-pantay ang pagtanim.
Mas matipid ito kumpara sa tradisyunal na sabog-tanim na nangangailangan ng 80-100kg ng binhi kada ektarya. Sa riding-type paddy seeder, 35-40kg lang ang kailangan. Ayon sa mga eksperto, makakatipid ang mga magsasaka ng 15-20% dahil hindi na kailangang magpunla at lipat-tanim.
Kasabay rin ng demo ang hands-on training.
“Sa manual na lipat-tanim, umaabot ako ng ₱8,500 kada ektarya. Dito, gasolina lang ang gastos ko—mas tipid talaga. Ang maganda pa, madali lang gamitin. Kahit kami, mga babae, kaya namin ’to,” ani ni ka-Palay Marissa V. Tadeo.
Para sa demo sa inyong lugar, magmessage lamang sa ating page, ka-Palay!
