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 …

A Rapid Assessment Instrument for Coastal Benthic Habitats (ARAICoBeH) System is a set of low-cost survey equipment that can cover huge areas of both coral and non-coral sites within a short amount of time. ARAICoBeH System is deployed from a boat and is made up of 3 components: 1) an action camera on a small …

In the Philippines, female goats generally come to heat when the weather is cool and the days are short, that is, from September to February. The long period of anestrus (non-ovulating) from March to August thus limits conception, making it difficult for farmers to provide a consistent supply of goat meat throughout the year. Since …

One critical control point that contributed to low conception rates among artificially inseminated goats is the timing of insemination. Usually, breeders rely on behavioral changes used during natural breeding but these only determine the period of estrus and are not necessarily the best time to inseminate. To advance AI in goats, DOST-PCAARRD funded the development …

To enhance productivity and upgrade goats in the countryside, DOST-PCAARRD in recent years has invested in the promotion of goat AI as an alternative to natural breeding. To ensure that only dry does are subjected to estrus synchronization and AI, efficient screening of pregnancy must be done, as subjecting already gestating goats may lead to …

SemEx is a powdered semen extender formulation that is used in AI. It provides nutrients for the spermatozoa that a buck has ejaculated and buffers against changes in pH, provides an isotonic environment, and protects the spermatozoa against cold shock when cooled and stored in a chilled state or against freezing injury when the semen …

Through PCAARRD funding, UPLB developed the FertiGroe® nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). These inorganic single fertilizers release nutrients more slowly than the conventional inorganic fertilizers, and have strong potential to increase nutrient use efficiency. The developed FertiGroe® nanofertilizers were tested on rice, corn, eggplant, cabbage, potato, sugarcane, coffee, cacao, and banana. For coffee, …
In support of the organic agriculture program of the country, technologies for organic Arabica production have been developed by the Benguet State University (BSU) through DOST-PCAARRD funding, and are for validation in the field. Developed products for organic Arabica production include solid and liquid organic fertilizers, and biocontrol agents for coffee rust and coffee anthracnose. …
