Evaluation of mussel longline culture technology in non-traditional areas

Mussel / By

Verification of longline technology at different productivity and depth would aid in the expansion of culture areas in the country. The longline system is more environmentally friendly than the present bamboo stake method that has also limited the expansion of the industry through these years. It opened other suitable areas to mussel farming and generated …

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; …

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory of Industrial Tree Plantation (ITP) Production Chain in CARAGA Region, Mindanao

Industrial Tree Plantations / By

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, …

Germplasm Conservation and DNA Marking of Selected Priority Industrial Tree Plantation Species

Industrial Tree Plantations / By

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, …

Anatomical, Physical, Mechanical and Veneering Properties of Falcata [Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby & J W. Grimes.] and Yemane (Gmelina arborea Roxb.)

Industrial Tree Plantations / By

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 …

Early Growth Performance and Genetic Diversity of Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby & J.W. Grimes Progeny Trial in the Philippines

Industrial Tree Plantations / By

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 …
