Red pineapple undergoing trials

The Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR), an agency under the Department of Agriculture (DA), is currently undertaking trials for the propagation of Spanish red pineapple in the Philippines.

BAR Director Nicomedes Eleazar visited the Camarines Norte Lowland, Rainfed Research-Outreach Station in the province early this week to get an update on the “Fruit Size and Quality Enhancement of Spanish Red Pineapple through Cultural Management Practices” project being implemented by DA-Regional Field Office 5 (Bicol region). The project is funded by BAR.
