Industry Strategic Science and Technology Plans (ISPs) Platform
The University of the Philippines through the leadership of Prof. Fredson Huervana initiated the on-going project which started in the last quarter of 2020, it aimed to involve the optimization of marine diatoms supplementation to tilapia diets as to increase the levels of EPA and DHA incorporation to tilapia flesh. This research assesses at what …
To facilitate the filling of IP protection for the RHA technology and prosecution of the patent application for the RTA technology; – To evaluate the potential and determine the commercial viability of the RHA and RTA technologies through the conduct of a feasibility study and business plan analysis; – To determine the market viability of …
The Central Mindanao University is one of the leading universities in the fields of agriculture, forestry and related fields. Research, being one of the four-fold functions of CMU, generated technologies in different fields. However, commercialization of these technologies remains a cloudy realization. Business incubation is one of the ways to commercialize these technologies. It has …

The Rice Combine Harvester developed by PhilRice can be readily mounted and dismounted from the hand tractor unit. This maximizes the utilization of hand tractors which are common agricultural equipment among rice farmers in the Philippines.
Ongoing projects under the Rice ISP include the development of low glycemic index rice through induced-mutation and marker-assisted selection by PhilRice – Batac. The project aims to contribute to addressing the problem of increasing the incidence of diabetes in the country. Glycemic index is a measurement carried out on carbohydrate-rich foods based on their tendency …
The Carrageenan Plant Growth Promoter (PGP) is a plant food supplement extracted from red seaweeds and degraded through gamma irradiation that is well known to elicit plant growth. Results of multi-location field trials by the UPLB and PhilRice in collaboration with DA and DOST Regional Offices in Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 4A, 6, 9 …
Pre-processing is necessary to bring quality and safe mussels to the consumers. Depuration is a process of eliminating or reducing bacterial load in mussels by transferring live harvested mussels to treated seawater using recirculating or flow-through system. These techniques allow the mussels to self-purify and expel ingested bacteria from their guts that pose risk to …
Mussel Longline Technology is an alternative to stake method in culturing mussels. It consists of a mainline of at least 18-millimeter (mm) diameter polypropylene (PP) rope. The length of the mainline may vary from 20 m to 100 m depending on available capital and the size of the culture area. Recycled plastic containers are used …
One major problem that hinders the sustainability of mussel production is the reliance of the industry on seed stock from the wild. The natural population is declining due to environmental degradation and overharvesting. Hence, there is an increased effort in developing the hatchery and nursery protocols for the green mussel to augment the natural spat …
