Harmonized system for community-based inventory of bamboo resources in key production areas in the Philippines

Bamboo / By

Bamboo cover maps and estimates of harvestable bamboo culms in Pangasinan, Iloilo, and Bukidnon were obtained using community-based bamboo approaches combined with remote sensing technologies and open-source mapping resources, with respectable accuracy. Pixel-based image classification method was used to map bamboo resources and other land-use and land-cover (LULC) at 10 m resolution. Total projected bamboo …

Bamboo composite boards (shaving board and strip board)

Bamboo / By

Board produced from shavings and undergone curing Prototype composite boards from kawayan tinik (Bambusa blumeana Schult.  F.) and giant bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper (Schult.) Backer) were developed through the shaving and strip boards. This is to increase the utilization rate of bamboo culms to 60% against the 30 to 40% rate of existing glue-laminated composites. Strength …

Development of new and unique varieties of flowering ornamental plants

Ornamentals / By

Dubbed as a “bright shine industry,” the ornamental plants industry is recognized for the vastness of the opportunities it holds. The potential of the industry is evident in how it started from small-scale operations and then rapidly expanded with the entry of more commercial growers. In 2019,  the Philippines exported about PhP 253 M worth …

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 …
