LSU expert develop new harvesting tools for sweet potato

So much for laborious and slow harvesting methods. Sweet potato farmers in the country can now look forward to a more productive enterprise with the development of a tractor drawn harvester.

Alan Loreto and Manolo Loreto Jr. Researchers of the Philippine Rootcrop Research Training Center (PRCRTC) in Leyte State University (LSU) came up with this harvester featuring a single-row vine cutter and digger after a uear of research in their Bureau of Agricultural Research funded project.

Initial on-station trials revealed that at 1,300 rp the vine cutter could effectively eliminate unwanted vines, leaving only the stalk close to the sweet potato roots to facilitate easier digging. The researchers computed the vine cutter capacity at 1.33 hectares per day at a speed of 2 km per hour.

Morever, the single-row sweet potato digger, another feature of this tractor-drawn harvester, could harvest 1.08 hectares per day at 2 km per hour. The researchers likewise noted that this digger could harvest sweet potato roots with minimal damage on them.

Grain borers are becoming resistant to pesticides

A lesser kind of grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica Fabricius) is becoming resistant to phosphine- a type of fumigant or substance that is used to disinfect stored grains and protect them from pests.

Phisphine has been popularly used since the 1980 because it is easy to apply and does not leave any harmful residues in the grain.

The first signs of resistance were recorded in the early 70s but the resistance levels then wer low to pose a serious problem. Today, however, there are widespread reports of higher phosphine reisitance in some countries, which resulted to more researches in grain borers and phosphine resitance.

A survey in 1995 indicated that R. Dominica strains that are phosphine-resistant are present in the Philippines. The survey used the resistance method recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). It involves exposing adult grain borers to phosphine dose of 0.08 mg/liter phospine for 20 hours at 25 degrees centigrade and 70 percent relative humidity.
