Industry Strategic Science and Technology Plans (ISPs) Platform
The establishment of the STCBF will serve as a model for the establishment of ITP in Region 2 with Yemane (Gmelina arborea Roxb.) as main commodity. It aims to increase the income of farmers as sources of Yemane raw materials for the furniture industry in the region.
This project aims to develop a geo-database of ITPs. Specifically, to map the species types, location and extent of ITPs by applying machine learning techniques to available RS datasets; to develop an online/web-based GIS database of ITP types, location and extent integrated with other spatial and non-spatial datasets; to determine areas suitable for establishing new …

This study aims to develop protocol on the improvement of quality seeds produced by the Mindanao Tree Seed Center (MTSC), through different seed quality enhancement treatments. The center aims to develop suitable seed quality enhancement protocol for specified areas such as mined-out area, reforestation area and tree plantations, to produce an improved and fortified forest …
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 …

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; …
A GHG inventory study was conducted for Industrial Tree Plantation (ITP) production chain in Caraga Region. GHG emissions from ITP activities that include harvesting, minor and major log transport, and veneer and lumber production were accounted for. The carbon stored in lumber and veneer was also computed. Specifically, the calculated GHG emissions (CO2e) from harvesting, …
This study generally aims to identify, capture and preserve the remaining wild population of Eucalyptus deglupta, Casuarina equisetifolia and Endospermum peltatum and asses the genetic structure of E. deglupta for genetic conservation and future tree breeding program. Specifically, the objectives of the study are: (1) to identify and capture the remaining wild population of E.deglupta, …
The results of the study showed that it is technically feasible to harvest for veneer production the 3, 5, and 7-year old Falcata trees which grew from known/certified seed sources. However, depending on the tree age and diameter, falcata tree may be processed as corestock veneer only as in the case of the 3-year old …
Low timber production of Falcata (Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby & J.W. Grimes) plantations in the Philippines can be attributed to the use of planting materials from poor quality seed sources. To achieve optimum plantation yield from genetically superior seed sources, this study conducted field tests of genetic materials from available plantations of Falcata in the …
This study assessed the genetic diversity and ascertained the genetic structure of all currently available propagated materials of the two commercially important plantation species, Falcata (Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby & J.W. Grimes.) and Yemane (Gmelina arborea Roxb.). The usefulness of molecular markers to assess genetic variation especially in recurrently planted populations has been well demonstrated and …
