Challenges and Recommendations in the Industrial Tree Plantations (ITP)

Industrial Tree Plantations / By

To enable the ITP industry to realize its significant economic contributions particularly in providing employment and increasing rural incomes, the challenges in the supply chain must be attended to. On the policy issues, the following are advocated: To protect the interest of the WPPs and tree farmers, there is a need to review DMO 99-20 …

Protocols for the conservation and mass production of high yielding falcata seed sources in Mindanao

Industrial Tree Plantations / By

Selection of plus trees as source of quality seeds Demonstration farms of various genetic materials/provenances (origins) of falcata were established in Bukidnon, Misamis Oriental, and Misamis Occidental. It provided information on genetic diversity and structure of various origins and advanced the required knowledge and techniques for optimizing the use of available genetic resources of ITP.  …

Bioplastics from ITPs: Production, Characterization and Potential Application

Industrial Tree Plantations / By

This study dealt on the extraction and characterization of lignin from three Industrial Tree Plantation Species (ITPS) namely: Falcata (Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby & J.W. Grimes.), Yemane (Gmelina arborea Roxb.) and Mangium (Acacia mangium Willd.). Pulping, centrifugation, filtration and drying procedures were done to obtain lignin. Using fourier transform infrared radiation spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential …

Juvenile Variations in Forest Genetic Materials of Seedlings of Falcata (Falcataria moluccana (Miq.)) Barneby & J.W. Grimes. and Yemane (Gmelina arborea Roxb.)

Industrial Tree Plantations / By

In general, the project aimed to fast-track genetic characterization of forest genetic materials of Falcata (Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby & J.W. Grimes.) and Yemane (Gmelina arborea Roxb) available in the Philippines. Specifically, it aimed to: (1) Identify variations, if any, among the selected forest genetic resources (FGR) materials of the two species in the seedling stage; …
