| Brief Description | The study will benefit the dragon fruit farmers, agricultural extensionists, and the researchers. The result of the study will directly benefit the dragon fruit farmers who are the most affected with the high incidence and severity of different dragon fruit diseases prevailing in the locality. Identification of the causative agents of these different diseases will pave way to a better understanding of its causality, leading to proper management and control of these diseases. With these, it is envisioned to put back Ilocos Norte in the forefront of dragon fruit production. |
