Rubber production in the Philippines is intensively cultivated in Mindanao as its traditional area because of its favorable agro-climate. Owing to its lucrative value, some farmers invested in planting rubber across Luzon and Visayas or NTAs (locations where a commodity is not commonly grown and developed) regardless of the site-species compatibility. Gearing up towards increasing …
Identification of potential expansion areas for rubber is essential to increase local production and improve their quality while taking advantage of the market demand. A database on existing plantations of nine provinces in the Philippines identified as major production areas of rubber and cacao was developed. Using geographic information (GIS), remote sensing (RS) and other …

A nanobiosensor for the electrochemical detection of genomic DNA of P. palmivora in cacao and soil samples was developed. Through the funding of DOST-PCAARRD, the same nanobiosensor is being developed for L.theobromae. The preliminary use of the nanobiosensor to detect genomic DNA of P. palmivora in cacao and soil samples shows its potential for use …

To further reduce the amount of hard work and operating time-cost of mucilage extracting, fermentation, and drying, one alternative solution is to combine the three operations handled by the proposed machine/equipment/facility. The project aims to design, develop and optimize the operating conditions of the automated combined mechanical demucilager-fermenter-dryer for cacao. This proposed machine continually processes …

With the aim to develop a nanobiopesticide using metabolite/s from plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) against fusarium wilt on high-value crops, the Nanobiotechnology Laboratory, National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (BIOTECH), University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) implemented a project for the production of banana, tomato, and cucumber. Results showed a comparable effect of …
Focusing on Saba, Lakatan, and Latundan varieties, the program was proposed to sustain the banana industry in Cagayan. The program titled “Enhancing the Productivity and Supply Chain of Banana Industry in Cagayan Valley Region” will rehabilitate and improve the banana industry in Cagayan along the supply chain: from input suppliers to banana production to consumers …

The Philippine banana chips industry has become one of the country’s emerging export winners. The raw materials for banana chips production are based on two cultivars, namely Saba and Cardaba. One of the major problems besetting the industry is the lack of raw materials for processing banana chips. Mass propagation and dissemination of Saba strains …
