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.
Site-specific planting dates for rice and corn. SARAI generated improved planting calendar based on different approaches (cumulative rainfall, yield probability, and rainfall probability coupled with crop yield simulation approaches; and farmers’ practice), validated in Batac, Ilocos Norte; Los Baños , Laguna; Ligao City, Albay; and Butuan City, Agusan del Norte. The planting dates can be …

SARAI has developed the following mobile applications for easier access to information and technologies: BANATECH – a mobile app used to determine the harvest date of ‘Lakatan’ & ‘Saba’ bananas Smarter Pest Identification Technology (SPidTech) – an Android application which can be used to identify pests through face recognition protocols CAPHE (Coffee Application Harvest Estimator) …
A model developed for estimating soil moisture deficit in annual crops. This cost-efficient soil moisture monitoring system is a fabrication of Arduino-based soil moisture meter and gypsum blocks. The fabricated units will be installed in selected SARAI sites for the monitoring of soil water deficit.
