Smart Farming-based Efficient Nutrient Management

Sugarcane / By

Nutrient management is always of fundamental economic importance in the agriculture of sugarcane. National (and international) efforts face difficulty to gain the maximum production of sugar at the present time because of the acute shortage and high costs of commercial fertilizers. The ever increasing fertilizer prices and application inefficiency that cause detrimental effects to the …

Sugarcane Genomics for Increased Productivity, Profitability, Sustainability, and Global Competitiveness

Sugarcane / By

Genomics for Varietal Development With the use of markers for disease resistance, susceptible varieties can immediately be eliminated possibly in one screening only. Thus, cost including labor and time to produce new varieties will be reduced significantly. The project, “Development of New Sugarcane Varieties Using Marker Assisted Selection (MAS)” introduced a shorter and more effective …

Use of Automated Furrow Irrigation System (AFIS) to improve production efficiency and and cane yield in a sugarcane block farm

Sugarcane / By

The Central Luzon State University (CLSU) through the leadership of Dr. Armando N. Espino Jr. initiated the project, “Improving Production Efficiency and Cane Yield in a Sugarcane Block Farm using an automated Furrow Irrigation System” aimed to introduce to farmers a robust, alternative option to facilitate precision irrigation in sugarcane production for 20% increased in …

Potential Endophytes against white root rot and major and emerging leaf diseases of rubber

Rubber / By

White root rot (WRR) manifests conspicuously within regions 9, 10, and 12. Healthy root specimens were collected and subjected to laboratory processing to facilitate the isolation of fungal endophytes, resulting in the purification of 53 distinct fungal endophytes. Among these, the top 3 fungal endophytes exhibiting notable efficacy against WRR were discerned through a dual …

Ecological Mangrove Restoration (EMR) of Abandoned Brackishwater Fishponds in the Philippines

Climate Change / By

Through the years, attempts to restore degraded mangroves in different countries were made but very few reported high success rates. Species-site incompatibility, lack of technical know-how and environmental factors contribute to the failure of these efforts. Ecological Mangrove Restoration (EMR) is an approach to restore Abandoned Brackishwater Fishponds (ABF), which are formerly mangrove areas, through …
