Parico 02:49 PM, Jan 07, 2019 

Dear DA, 

May I request the latest data or reports regarding the following:

1. Summarized damage reports specific to pineapple fungal diseases (i.e. Phytophthora root rot or heart rot) and which disease specifically
2. Location and date of occurrence of these disease damage reports

I have requested the same data from the main office of Crop Pest Management Division but they only have pest damage reports instead of fungal disease damage reports.
