Sariling AtinK atmon• Katmon can only be propagated by seeds• The tree grows in low to medium altitude forests • Seedling thrives on semi-shaded areas but can be
adapted to grow under full sunlight• Regular watering and fertilizer application are
necessary for optimum growth• Steps on planting a Katmon seedling…
Preparing the area
• Clear weeds and debris from the area
• Maintain 1 m radius free from other vegetation
• For plantations, seedlings should have 2 m distance in a row, with 3 m distance between the strips
Planting the seedling
• Dig a plant hole with 20x20x20 cm dimensions
• Plant the seedling in an upright position, at a proper depth
• Root collar should be at level or a little below soil surface
• Fill with soil, press firmly around the base
Caring for the seedling
• Remove weeds and cultivate soil around 50 cm from the base, once every quarter, for 2-3 years
• Place mulch around the base (grass, leaves, other materials for a mulch base
• Prune braches, ideally during dry season
• Remove infected vegetation• Monitor regularly for
diseases or pests

Sariling AtinsapinitSapinit contains several anticancer phytochemicals which include:
• Leucoanthocyanin: anti-carcinogenic
• Anthraquinones: anti- Alzheimer’s. Potential industrial use since anthraquinone is precursor to synthetic dye, additive in paper pulp making and material for hydrogen peroxide
• Saponins: regulate blood cholesterol level• Free fatty acid• Hydrolysable tannins• Unsaturated steroids• Benzopyrene nucleus
Sariling AtinsapinitCollaboration among the scientific community, government agencies , and general public made tapping of Sapinit’s economic potential a reality
• DA- Bureau of Agricultural Research• DA- Quezon Agricultural Experiment
Station• Local Government Unit of Quezon• National Agricultural and Fisheries
Council• UP- BIOTECH
Sariling AtinsapinitSapinit production and processing has greatly improved the lives of local farmers since they now have an additional source of income
Project beneficiaries include cooperatives and farmers organization:• Bangkong Kahoy Rural
Improvement Club (RIC)- 18 women members
• Bangkong Kahoy 4H Club- 20 members
• RIC members: 5 household members; rarely finishes basic education
Sariling Atinsapinit“ Because of their growing of Sapinit, the community has become united because they begin to realize they can do something for the community” – said Rolando Cuasay, QAES OIC
Sariling Atinsapinit• A techno-demo site was established in Sitio Bangkong Kahoy
Brgy. Kinabuhayan Dolores, Quezon• Data on percenet mortality, field survival, growth habit, days
to flowering, fruit set, yield, pest and disease incidence were gathered to determine which planting material at a particular fertilizer level
• No locally available literature on its culture and management• Determine crop’s appropriate planting distance, fertilizer
requirement, susceptability to pests and diseases.• Fruits harvested from techno-demo site were used for trials on
production development
