The ASFV Nanold Biosensor test kit is a nucleic acid-based assay that is a combination of LAMP and nanotechnology where gold nanoparticles are used to aggregate with amplified DNA genetic materials after amplification to visualize the reaction after 30 minutes. The test can be done on samples collected from the live animal such as blood, …
A web-based system that uses GIS, remote sensing and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index or the index of plant āgreennessā or photosynthetic activity to monitor the status of agricultural crops. This can be used to determine the following:Ā crop damage assessment (typhoon, drought, and pests), land use/cover change, vulnerability assessment, identify possible breeding ground of major …
Implementing payment for ecosystem services (PES) mechanism as an approach towards sustainability is a relatively novel approach in environmental conservation. PES mechanisms create a market for ecosystem services by making users/beneficiaries pay for the services while compensating conservation activities of service providers. These compensations are often based on the estimate of the providerās foregone income …
PCAARRD invested in understanding how coastal acidification affects marine environment as basis for scenario building in estimating threats to the marine environment.Ā The study was conducted in 59 coastal waters and seas in the entire country.Ā The study generated baseline data on pH and aragonite saturation state Ī© (used to track acidification) from 59 coastal …
Tilapia production in the Philippines is greatly affected by increasing water temperature especially during warm months of the year. One way to address the effect of water temperature rise in hatchery ponds is the application of shading. The aquashade technology makes use of greenhouse nets built on ponds to provide shade during summer months, which …

The industrial tree plantation (ITP) sector has great potential to contribute to the countryās economic development. However, the entire business of establishing industrial forest plantations would not only contribute to increased carbon absorption but along the process, carbon is also emitted particularly from the harvesting operation down to the processing of wood products. Greenhouse gas …
The increase in temperature and occurrence of rain showers during the garlic growing season favor pest incidence, which causes a substantial decrease in yield and bulb quality. Hence, the project titled, “Improvement of Garlic and Other Agri-Food Condiments Productivity through Integrated Crop Management (ICM) System” aimed to improve garlic productivity through the development of an …
Climate change impacts on the social and ecological aspects of food production threaten the food security of the farming households and nearby communities. It is high time, therefore, to investigate on the appropriate decision support system that would enhance farmersā resiliency to climate change impacts. This project was implemented to help upland communities cope with …
The development of Carrageenan Plant Growth Promoter (CPGP) is funded by PCAARRD. CPGP has been proven to increase rice yields by 15 to 30 percent based on multi-location trials in 7 regions in the Philippines also making the crops more resistant to blight and infestation such as the tungro virus. Carrageenan also helps in strengthening …

The study aims to determine which combinations of traditional bioproduction systems and modern bioproduction systems are most likely to lead to a sustainable and resilient future in the Philippines. The project is envisioned to improve watershed governance by instituting science-based decision-making among LGU and DENR and other institutional partners.
