The Sugar Regulatory Administration on Tuesday expressed concern on the impact of Kanlaon Volcano’s eruption in Negros Occidental on the country’s sugar industry.“The main problem, according to our technicians and scientists, is the acidity of ash. So, if it stays on the leaves, it will burn the leaves. When the leaves are burned, what happens is canes mature a lot faster and will go into inversion.
Last June, Kanlaon also erupted, which according to the SRA chief, caused damage to sugarcane leaves, therefore reducing its photosynthesis capability as well as causing biological and chemical disruption on the soil that could all lead to reduction of sugar yield.With this, Azcona expressed hope that the rainfalls would help in washing away ash fall and lower the acidity levels on crops.
