                    [Summary] => 



In line with the government’s rice self-sufficiency program, Germany’s Bayer Bioscience will soon locally develop new hybrid rice varieties that match both farmer and consumer preference.


In a statement, Bayer Bioscience said it is ready to launch this year its latest hybrid rice variety named Arize H64.

The variant, which was developed locally, has higher rice and milling recovery with a shorter maturity of about 100 to 105 days. Grains of Arize H64 are long and slender with moderate aroma.

Onion farmers recently suffered losses of up to P60 million due to calamities. Local officials said that local onion farmers are planting other crops because of the spate of calamities that have ruined onion yields in the past few months.

In one hectare of his 19-hectare farm at barangay Tondod here, Fernando Gabuyo Jr. harvested 335 cavans last April 18 out of a hybrid rice variety, SL-8, bred by SL Agritech.

In another hectare, he reaped 332.5 cavans last April 14 out of the hybrid Bigante of Bayer CropScience.
