The on-demand trainings on organic vegetable production started in 2016 due to the demand of a potential partner-client. It was right in time for the implementation of the station’s Techno-Demo Project for the mentioned commodity since 2014.
The main objective of the workshop-training is to enhance the conceptual and practical knowledge of the Municipal/Provincial Legislative Council, Municipal Planning Officer, and Municipal Agricultural Officer in policy analysis toward an evidence-based formulation of policies relating to watershed management. At the end of the training, the participants will be able to articulate the importance of policy and policy analysis with respect to watershed management. They will also be able to apply selected tools and techniques in undertaking policy analysis for watershed management. Lastly, they will be able to draft an ordinance or resolution for an integrated watershed management.
This training aims to provide interested growers with knowledge and skills in mushroom production technology. Mushroom production is a potential livelihood enterprise, considering its profitability and viability. The abundance of readily available substrate for mushroom production pushed the station to develop this training package that can be availed by more clients.
The Institute of Plant Breeding (IPB) has been developing high quality crop varieties for the past 40 years. It has also developed technologies that best serve its clients. The IPB Extension Program was designed to make sure that these varieties and technologies reach their intended users.
In response to its mandate to do research, training and extension activities on production, processing and marketing of various crops and livestock, UPLBCAFS-LGRTS disseminates planting materials. Specifically, it provides asexually propagated planting materials of various fruit trees to fruit farmers of the region.
This is an effort that caters to walk-ins and callers who inquire on specific concerns that are within the scope of the research, extension and production programs of the station. Commonly clients would inquire on recommended farming practices for a specific crop and immediate remedy for some common pests and diseases (farmers). They would also inquire about references for investigatory projects and short term production services like the culture of mushroom, asexual propagation methods, identification of plant species, sources of project materials (students), as well as references for production practices of plantation crops, epidemic diseases, sources of publication materials, mushroom culture, advises on possible research activities for agri-based business enterprises (professionals/industries).
This training provides participants opportunity to gain skills and knowledge on plant asexual propagation techniques, which include cutlage, marcotting or layering, budding, grafting, and others.
LGRTS has been engaging in the activity since 1980.
The training aims to strengthen the capacity of the municipal officers engaged in agricultural development planning to integrate climate change risk management in agricultural development. This course is divided into two parts. The first part is a review of the climate change science and agricultural planning process. Part two is about the integration of climate risk management on agricultural development planning through a workshop.
This training aims to strengthen the capacity of agricultural extension workers (AEWs) to further appreciate and apply climate decision support tools to reduce risks in agriculture. Specifically, participants will be exposed to climate forecasting and analysis, trained to input, process, and analyze data using the Decision Support System for Agro-technology Transfer (DSSAT) Model. They will also be able to prepare seasonal climate advisory.
