[Title] => And now, mistisang talong
[Summary] => Mistisang talong, a new eggplant variety bred by a Los Baños scientist, continues to rate high among farmers in various parts of the country.
Its come-ons are its good qualities, particularly its high yield. As gathered by this writer, it has a maximum yield potential of 30 tons per hectare, as against the 15-20 t/ha of common eggplant varieties grown by farmers.
Tisay, as it has now come to be fondly called, is also resistant to weeds and plant pests and diseases and can weather typhoons.

[Title] => Labong has cyanide but no cause for worry, if...
[Summary] => Heres a less known fact that many are not aware of: The shoots of some bamboo species ("labong") has cyanide.
This is manifested by the bitter or acrid taste of this popular food item relished as "dinengdeng a rabong" by the Ilocanos, "paklay" by the Visayans, "atsara" or pickle by the Tagalogs, "bulanglang na labong" by the Batangueños, and "guinataang labong" by the Bicolanos.
