OFW Red Lady- Narcing Magkalas Farm

September 27, 2008

I delivered 106 red lady papaya seedlings to Narcing Magkalas to increase the population of his crop.

The growth and development of each farm will be viewed from time to time during update of pictures.










THE NARCING MAGKALAS FARM

The port of entry to the upland farmlands is passing thru the farm of Narcing Magkalas. It can be reached by car, and you can even park your car infront of his cozy nipa hut.

He is a member of the OFW Coop. Red Lady growers. During the early stage of the seedlings, his nursery looks very promising because the percentage of germination is very high. But during the non stop pouring of rains, the main trunk of the seedlings started to rot.


He admitted that he should have transferred the seedlings to plastic bags at younger stage to avoid stress during transplanting. It costs him 70% of the would be populations of the plants.

To cover up losses on population, I promised him that I will deliver around 80 pieces of seedlings in plastic bags during my visit next week.

The papayas are already 1 month and a half, and sprayed by BPN as the main plant nutrition.

We noticed flowers are starting to come into sight.
