DEKAD NO. 19 1 – 10 JULY 2025

Philippine Agri-Weather Forecast

During the forecast period, the country will be affected by southwest monsoon, low pressure area (LPA), tropical cyclone, and localized thunderstorms.

During the first half of the dekad, the LPA and southwest monsoon will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over most of Luzon, and Western Visayas, while Mindanao will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. At the second half of the dekad, the southwest monsoon will continue to affect the western parts of Luzon and Visayas bringing cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms. The rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms.
During the early days of the dekad, winds coming from the southwest to southeast will prevail over Northern Luzon, while the rest of the country will have southwest to west. For the remaining days of the forecast period, the country will have winds coming from southwest.

During the early days of the forecast period, moderate seas will prevail over the northern and western section of Luzon while the rest of the archipelago will have slight to moderate seas. Afterwards, the entire country will experience slight to moderate sea conditions.

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

ENSO-neutral conditions currently prevail over the tropical Pacific, and most climate models suggest that these conditions are likely to persist through the August–September October 2025 season.

Farm Advisories

Prepare for wetter conditions. Enhance drainage to prevent waterlogging and monitor for pest and disease outbreaks. Use resistant crop varieties and consider staggered planting to avoid peak wet periods. Increased humidity can influence pest and disease prevalence. Conduct of regular monitoring of farm fields and timely interventions are crucial. Livestock animals are susceptible to contract diseases during the rainy periods. Always keep animal shelters clean, dry and well ventilated. To ensure the personal safety, farm workers are advised to wear suitable waterproof clothing and footwear to reduce the risk of illness or injury while working during wet conditions.

* DA, BPI unveil tissue culture, biocontrol facilities to boost farm sector

Author: DA Press Office | 27 June 2025

LOS BAÑOS, Laguna (June 26, 2025) — Agriculture Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr. led the formal inauguration of the Bureau of Plant Industry’s Tissue Culture Laboratory and Biological Control Agent (BioCon) Facility at the Los Baños National Crop Research, Development, and Production Support Center.
Construction of the tissue culture facility and the upgrade of the BioCon laboratory in line with the vision of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for a more modern and resilient agriculture sector and a food-secure Philippines.

The total cost of construction and repair for the facilities is P6 million. Funded under the DA’s National Organic Agriculture Program (NOAP), marks the BPI and NOAP initiative in enhancing agricultural productivity through advanced research and sustainable farming technologies. Key highlights included the inauguration of the newly renovated Tissue Culture Laboratory and Biological Control Facility, a crucial infrastructure poised to accelerate breakthroughs in plant science and enhance production of quality planting materials.

Secretary Tiu Laurel said the facilities’ inauguration underscored the critical role of science and technology in addressing the challenges posed by climate change, population growth, and environmental degradation.

“The Tissue Culture Laboratory will ensure a steady supply of high-quality, disease-free planting materials. This is especially crucial for the banana industry, which continues to face serious challenges due to Fusarium wilt,” the DA chief said in his speech during the event.

Beyond bananas, the facility will also propagate crops such as garlic, ginger, ube, and ornamentals—helping farmers access resilient and productive plantlets suited to local conditions. This initiative supports both commercial growers and smallholder farmers by providing clean, subsidized plantlets, while also conserving the country’s valuable plant genetic resources.
Complementing the tissue culture facility is the upgraded BioCon Facility, which is envisioned to mass-produce biological control agents like earwigs and beneficial fungi, such as Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana.

Together, the Tissue Culture Lab and BioCon Facility form a synergistic approach—healthy planting materials safeguarded by natural pest control. This integrated strategy aims to boost crop yields, protect the environment, and improve farmers’ livelihoods, representing a bold step forward in the country’s agricultural innovation journey.
Tiu Laurel commended BPI Director Gerard Glenn Panganiban and OIC Center Chief Dr. Joel Adorada and their respective teams for shepherding these innovative agricultural projects. ### (Photo by DA-BPI)

FERTILIZER BURN sa tag-ulan, iwasan

Alam mo ba? Dahil pino na parang pulbos ang karaniwang ammonium sulfate, madali itong dumikit sa basang dahon ng palay. Kaya mas mataas ang tsansang masunog ang dahon o magkaroon ng fertilizer burn, kumpara sa mas malalaking butil ng pataba na agad bumabagsak sa lupa.

Ngayong tag-ulan, ingat sa pag-aabono!

Hintaying matuyo ang dahon bago mag-abono

Iwasang gumamit ng malapulbos na abono kung mataas ang halumigmig o basa ang pananim

Suriin din ang mga puno at dahon, baka peste rin ang sanhi ng pagkasunog ng dahon

HEALTHIER DIET ba ang iyong hanap?

Maraming masustansyang barayti at uri ng bigas na pwede nating subukan. Hindi lang puting kanin ang bida — may brown at pigmented rice na hitik sa protina, fiber, bitamina, minerals, at anti-oxidants. May mga bagong barayti rin tulad ng low glycemic index rice na mainam para sa mga may diabetes o gustong mapanatili ang tamang timbang.

Andyan din ang high-zinc rice na pampalakas ng resistensya lalo na sa mga bata. May nadebelop na rin na Malusog Rice na may beta-carotene na magiging vitamin A sa ating katawan kung kinakailangan.

Ngayong Buwan ng Nutrisyon na may temang, “Sama-sama sa Nutrisyong Sapat para sa Lahat,” ating idiskubre ang masustansyang bigas at rice-based products na swak sa ating kalusugan.
