The Department of Plant and Soil Sciences (DPSS) of the College of Agriculture and Agri-Industries- Caraga State University (CSU-CAA) hosted “Agrimmunity 2024: Training on Seedling Production and Nursery Management”on July 30, 2024, at the Organic Agriculture Training Center (OATC). This event demonstrated a strong commitment to addressing vital agricultural needs and advancing sustainable practices within the community.
The college welcomed thirty-one (31) vegetable farmers and barangay council members from ten LGUs in Butuan City, including Barangays Ampayon, Antongalon, Baan, Basag, Los Angeles, Taguibo, Taligaman, Tiniwisan, Obrero, and Sumilihon. Additionally, five BSA-Horticulture students volunteered to help facilitate the training, emphasizing the college’s commitment to involving students in its extension efforts. The program featured insightful sessions by the DPSS faculty on topics such as seedling production, soil media, biofertilizers, and pest management. A key highlight was the introduction of biofertilizer products by Reuben James C. Rollon in his Biochar project funded by the Department of Agriculture- Bureau of Agricultural Research (DA-BAR), aimed at promoting organic vegetable farming practices. Attendees also benefited from practical tours at Ka-Agri Farm and the Mycorrhizal Laboratory, gaining hands-on experience in seedling production and biofertilizer application. The college is pleased with the active participation of all involved and hope the distributed materials will be valuable in their agricultural endeavors. Here’s to applying new knowledge and fostering growth in our agricultural community! Gratitude is extended to all participants, speakers, facilitators, and volunteers who contributed to the success of this event. ✨
