The Agriculture and Social Welfare and Development offices of the Negros Oriental government will conduct a training-workshop on farm production for differently-abled persons in the province, March 6 to 8.

Participants will be from clustered   municipalities and cities in the  three  congressional   districts  of  the province. Rep. George Arnaiz (Neg. Or. 2nd district) has allocated about P100,000 for  the  training.

Agriculture information officer Oliver Lemence said the training  will  discuss vermie culture  through  the  use of  African night  crawler  worms, producing  fertilizer out of vermie  casts,  and  the procedure  on  the production of a  natural fermented pesticide  and  liquid  fertilizers.

Lemence said the province is continuously campaigning for the organic farming system.  It was the target participants who had asked for the training, to be facilitated by personnel from the Vermie Culture and Soils Laboratory  Division  of  the  Provincial  Agriculture Office, he added.*MA
