Fullgreen boasts of having developed alternative agriculture methods in crop production, pest management and post production protocols. Among the achievements that made Fullgreen known throughout the country, and in a number of other countries are its contribution to agricultural development, among them: (1) the Diamond X and Double Diamond Rice varieties, known for their good eating quality and high yield; (2) highly effective quality organic and inorganic foliar fertilizers; (3) quality and effective pesticides for almost all tropical crops; and (4) the Sweet Catimon Mango strain that is considered a breakthrough in mango production. All these products have been marketed by more than a thousand personnel stationed all over the country. Sweet Catimon Mango is in demand locally and in a number of countries in Africa, Asia and Oceania because of its adaptability in almost all kinds of terrain.

  6. How did the Sweet CatimonMango came about? The Sweet Catimon Mango mango strains produced by Fullgreen did not come out from nowhere. It is a product developed and produced by FAGC from over 20 years of intensive research in cross breeding of the best mango varieties found in the country today. And with the genius of agriculturist scientist practitioner Ka Jun Espejo, he developed a proven cultural management protocol for early and continuous fruiting of Sweet Catimon Mango.

  7. Sweet Catimon Mango is not serendipitous discovery Processes of closely monitored mango strain culture research, selected scion twigs, healthy spliced grafts, testing of cross pollination of mango flowers, and application of other scientific methods in pilot areas resulted in a mango strain with characteristics not found in traditional Philippine mango varieties today.

  8. Field trials of over 20 years did it! Agriculturist scientist practitioner Rogelio B Espejo, Jr., President & CEO of Full Green Agro Corporation tested the application of the right amounts and combinations of different types of fertilizers, growth hormones and enzymes that he developed in his laboratories and applied to multiple varieties in several pilot areas in Catimon, Guimba, Nueva Ecija, and hence the name, Sweet “Catimon” mango was derived.
