Genetic diversity and structure of Gmelina arborea Roxb. and Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby & J.W. Grimes plantations in the Philippines based on microsatellites

Industrial Tree Plantations / By

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 …

Bamboo propagation via branch cuttings

Bamboo / By

To develop technologies that could enhance the propagation and plantation management, DOST-PCAARRD partnered with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and state universities and colleges. Among these technologies is the propagation via branch cutting from three to four-year-old bamboo culms and one-node culm cuttings. Another technology is the clump management and suitable cultural …

Addressing Policy Constraints and Information Needs

Bamboo / By

In 2017, a PCAARRD-funded project, “Creating an Enabling Environment for a Vibrant Philippine Bamboo Industry: Addressing Policy Constraints and Information Needs, “ was implemented by the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) under the leadership of Dr. Ramon A. Razal. This policy research aimed to generate science-based evidence supporting a policy environment more favorable …

Strategies for Propagule and Shoot Production of Three Bamboo Species

Bamboo / By

To develop strategies and establish baseline information for propagules and bamboo shoot production, best practices in bamboo propagule propagation and production that increase survival rate and shelf life were established by the Pampanga State Agricultural University (PSAU) through the project titled, “Development of Strategies for Propagule and Shoot Production of Three Bamboo Species.” This project …

Study on Coastal Acidification and How it Affects the Marine Environment and Resources in the Philippines

Climate Change / By

PCAARRD invested in understanding how coastal acidification affects marine environment as basis for scenario building in estimating threats to the marine environment.  The study was conducted in 59 coastal waters and seas in the entire country.  The study generated baseline data on pH and aragonite saturation state Ω (used to track acidification) from 59 coastal …

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

Climate Change / By

The industrial tree plantation (ITP) sector has great potential to contribute to the country’s economic development. However, the entire business of establishing industrial forest plantations would not only contribute to increased carbon absorption but along the process, carbon is also emitted particularly from the harvesting operation down to the processing of wood products. Greenhouse gas …

Improvement of Garlic and Other Agri-Food Condiments Productivity through Integrated Crop Management (ICM) System

Climate Change / By

The increase in temperature and occurrence of rain showers during the garlic growing season favor pest incidence, which causes a substantial decrease in yield and bulb quality. Hence, the project titled, “Improvement of Garlic and Other Agri-Food Condiments Productivity through Integrated Crop Management (ICM) System” aimed to improve garlic productivity through the development of an …
