Wiltcure experimental setup. Tomato plants with and without wiltcure. Image Credit: ARMRD, DOST-PCAARRD Solanaceous crops such as tomato, chili pepper and eggplant are being affected by major pests and diseases, including Fusarium oxysporum which causes Fusarium wilt. Farmers still rely on synthetic chemicals to prevent or control Fusarium wilt. However, these chemical pesticides are hazardous …

After a crown of thorns infestation in 2019 followed immediately by consecutive typhoon events, extensive rubble fields have developed in ARNP which have become traps for recruiting hard corals because of their relative instability. Parameters to measure substrate stabilization in this high energy area was determined using an experimental set-up that would allow for temporal …

The Reef BayBe (A Coral Reef Decision-Making Tool & Primer), is a software with a manual package that integrates quantitative data and experts’ knowledge using a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) model. This allows a more holistic look at our ridge-to-river-to-reef systems, and aims to help marine protected area managers and other users to make data-driven …

The protocol is a guide on how to conduct coral assessment from site selection to photo transect method to data processing. This is necessary to have a standardized method so that assessment data generated are comparable. Further, considering the need to regularly update data on the country’s 6 marine bioregions or its representative reef area, …
SEAFDEC, UPV, and Samar State University (SSU), in collaboration with DOST-PCAARRD, improves local production and produce safe and quality oyster harvest. With the refined raft and longline culture method, the oyster farmer can now produce harvestable weights of 75-90 grams within seven months compared to the traditional method (8-10 months).
Tray Pouch The Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC), University of the Philippines Visayas (UPV), and SSU in collaboration with DOST-PCAARRD, improves local production and ensures safe and quality oyster harvest. The pouch and tray methods produce uniform weight, quality meat, and meat yield of 27–29% higher than that of the traditional method that produces …
Culture technologies for sexually-derived coral propagules for reef restoration were developed and summarized in a manual entitled “Culture and rearing techniques of corals from larvae”. Results on the optimal size of sexual coral propagules appropriate for outplantation suggest that the performance of sexually-derived small coral outplants is highly affected by the condition of the outplantation …
