The DA-BAFS field compliance inspection conducted the FCA on March 5, 2025, to check on the existing compliance of the on-going efficacy trials with the approved EUP. The trial was conducted in a reefer facility in Carmen, Davao del Norte.The test of efficacy is performed to determine the efficiency of the product against Cavendish Banana flower thrips. In the activity, treatments were performed via bud injection. Flower trips were also seen in the dissected sample buds, but the pest is too minute to be captured in photographs.The conduct of efficacy trials using an EUP is a requirement for the registration of Organic Bio-control Agent (OBCA) products. #DABAFS#BAFSonthemove#OAregistration#OAassessment#OrganicAgriculture  Field Compliance Assessment of Ongoing Efficacy Trials March 19, 2025 Preinspection to Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) Core Farmer-Members March 18, 2025 New Employee Oreintation and Reoreintation March 14, 2025 Surviellance Assessment of PGS Group for Accreditation as Organic Certifying Body March 13, 2025 Surveillance Assessment of PGS Group for Accreditation as Organic Certifying Body March 13, 2025 Survillance Assessment of PGS Group for Accreditation as Organic Certifying Body March 13, 2025 APO Training Course on Big Data Analytics in the Agrifood Sector March 5, 2025 The DA-BAFS Standards Research Division (SRD), in coordination with the DA-Regional Field Office in Ilocos Region and Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) March 4, 2025
