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 …
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 …
As the sugarcane industry uses scarce and expensive resources such as water and fertilizers, a solution is required to accelerate the improvement of sugarcane production efficiency by increasing yield to make the industry globally competitive. Sugarcane farmers grow sugarcane in limited area because of shortage of irrigation water. There has been little work done locally …
