NEW WASHINGTON, Aklan – ATI Region 6 inaugurates its first batch of Training on Coconut Nursery Establishment for Farmers on February 20-22, 2024, in GLS Agricultural Integrated Farm with 30 registered members of coconut farmers associations as participants, which Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) identified.
Feelmer John R. Sasis and Dinabeth J. Onayan from PCA shared their expertise on nursery management, seedlings propagation, site selection, soil preparation, seed selection, propagation techniques, pest and disease management, irrigation, nursery maintenance, and nursery accreditation and certification. After the discussion, the participants experienced hands-on practical activities. This endeavor allowed skill development opportunities, ultimately better-preparing individuals for the challenges of establishing and managing coconut nurseries.
The participants, speakers, and the training management team took a quick pose after the successful practicum of the said training.
This program marked a significant milestone in empowering participants with the skills and knowledge needed to contribute to the sustainable growth of the coconut industry. As we look forward to subsequent batches, we remain committed to fostering innovation, collaboration, and excellence in agricultural practices.
