Upscale the application of S&T interventions found to be profitable in the regular STBF that would support the raw material requirements of Technomart.
Somatic embryos ready for transfer to Plantlet Producing more good quality beans starts from planting good quality planting materials that are high yielding. To produce true-to-type varieties, CvSU conducted initial activities to optimize the somatic embryogenesis protocol as a tissue culture technique for rapid and massive production of NSIC- registered Arabica and Liberica cultivars. Multiplication …
Banding patterns observed for the different coffee variety using the SSR 124577 marker The Philippine Genome Center has conducted DNA characterization of National Seed Industry Council (NSIC) – registered varieties that may potentially distinguish not just between coffee species but also within species or varieties. It also identified markers for pest and disease resistance, yield …
Spectral signature collected from Cavite (each line correspond to a unique soil sample) Expansion of production area, conversion to coffee production, or replanting of old coffee trees require information on the area-crop suitability. The system for identifying suitable areas for different coffee varieties through Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) has been developed …
Coffee pests and diseases in South Cotabato Coffee is an important global commodity and the Philippines is a potential producer of coffee and it is considered as one of the high-value commercial crops in the local and foreign markets. Locally, Sultan Kudarat province is the top producer of coffee which yields in 2016. Despite economic …

Perspective front view of initial design of UGV Presently, local farmers apply a certain amount of fertilizers without prior knowledge to the current soil nutrients status of their plantation. As a result, excess or shortage of soil nutrients occurs that may lead to low productivity, soil acidity or negative environmental impacts. One of the identified …
The project aimed to elevate the socio-economic status of abaca farmers in the Community Empowerment thru S&T (CEST) communities in Sogod, Southern Leyte by making the new technologies on the rehabilitation of abaca available and accessible to farmers. It also aimed to enhance the active participation of and empowering the said communities particularly, the LGU …
With the abaca stripping machine, four persons can harvest one hectare of abaca plantation in 7-8 days. It weighs only 93 kg and can be dismantled and carried in areas not accessible by transportation. It can strip native abaca varieties by replacing stripping blades for variable quality, recovery, and output. The Abaca Coalition witnessed the …
The project titled “Mapping the Distribution of Abaca Bunchy Top in Different Cropping Systems and Analyzing Epidemic Risks in the Zamboanga Peninsula” coordinated with local and municipal officials of Zamboanga, including the Department of Agriculture (DA) to conduct abaca bunchy top disease surveys, develop forecasting strategies to manage the disease, and gather data on abaca …
