ITRUDUCTION ABOUT GABI
Growing gabi
Among the rootcrops in the philipines, gabi ranks third in production and hectarage. It is because gabi is grown only as a bakyard crop and is seldon planted in more than one hectare of land.
Recently,more and more uses of gabi have been discovered. The stem and the leaves are not used as vegetables but are also used to feed swine. Aside from being used as substitute for rice and corn as stple food being used as substitute for rice and corn as staple food, the corn and carmels are also processed into flour, starch, baby food and other high value food products.
A closer look at the gabi industry reveals several problems. One of the problems encountered by the farmers is low production because of poor cultural management practices.
This technoguide contains the recomended cultural management practices to increase gabi production.Some information included here areproducts of the researches conducted by philrootcrops.

CASSAVA
Cassava (mahinot esculenta crantz.) is the most important root crop in the tropics and ranks fourth after rice, wheat and corn as calorie source for human consumption. in the philipines it is utilized as food, feed, alcohol and the emerging bio fuel industry.
In support to country`s cassava industry,philrootcrops undertakes a continuing crop improvement program to develop[ new and improved varieties. There are 46 yielding varieties recommended for cultivation.
The demand for cassava in the country is not met. This is mainly due to the lack of planting materials of high yielding varieties and the lack of capability to mass propagates because of slow and limited distribution of planting materials.
Traditionally, cassava is propagated vegetatively using 15-30 cm cassava takes with 7-8 viable nodes. multiplication rate is 1:10;one stem cutting will yield 10 planting materials after 10-12 months. Rapid propagation techniques are already available. It is essential to develop skills and capability for the mass propagation of cassava in order to sustain the supply of HYVs planting material for industry. This brochure will show the rapid propagation techniques and production of clean planting material for cassava.

Growing sweet potato
sweet potato is considered as one of the important food sources in the philipines. aside from this, it is used in the manufactured of the industrial products like flour and starch and as a raw material in the commercial production of animal feeds.
moreover, sweet potato can be processed into different food products with higher economic value than fresh roots.
Because of its many uses, the demand for sweet potato has significantly increased. This demand, however, has not been met because of the recurrent problem on low farm productivity.
This techoguide contains the recommended cultural management practices to increase the yield of sweet potato. Information include here are products of researches conducted by the Philrootcrops. It is hoped that this techno-guide can used by farmers, technicians and other users to increase sweet potato production in the country.

Why invest in orchids?
Filipinos are known for their keen appreciation and exquisite taste for beauty. That is probably why we also have that natural affinity for gardens. No fillipino home, no matter how humble and simple, is without a simple garden. One will find one,two or more group of flowering or foliage plants around the houses even in the remotest areas of the country. Filipinos have always been fascinated by flowering plants particularly orchids.
phalaenopsis (butterfly orchids),dendrobiums (relative of sanggumay) and vandas (relative of waling waling)
both native and hybrids, adorn many homes and gardens. This is not surprising considering that there are many attractive orchids that can only be found in the philipines..
Some orchids are difficult to grow and quite exacting in their cultural requirements. thus growers are on the look-out for easy-to-grow types. The semitrete vandas readily fit in this category. aside from having a no fuss character,they are popular and flower profusely all year around their flowers which come in different shapes and colors such as red, pink,blue,green,yellow, and white are in great demand locally. records also show that world demand for orchid products continue to grow. in addition demand for vandas flower, just like other flower picks up tremendously during special months of February (month of the hearts), may (fiesta and santacruzan month), June (weding month), November month for remembering the dead) and December (holiday season and gift giving month). During these special month, increased demand and price go hand-in-hand thus, ensuring good income for grower. Flower are made into corsages, bouquets, or placed in vases flower as cut flower. on the other hand , plants in twigs or driftwood are landscape material.
Unlike other cut flower that require expensive structure for their production to protect them from the sun and rain, semitrete vandas are happy under the sun and flower best in full sunlight. These are also more resistant to diseases compared with other protection from the heavy monsoon rain in June to October.
cut flower production does not require a big area to be profitable. A 100-m2 lot is enough to generate good income.An unused piece of land around the house can be used for this purpose. Aside from beautifying the home, cut flower for production can also be a source of additional income.
