CAPHE: Harvest Date Estimator for Better Coffee Quality

Coffee / By

Harvesting cherries at the right maturity produces better tasting coffee.  Through the SARAI Program, University of the Philippines Los Banos (UPLB) researchers developed a mobile application named CAPHE: Coffee Application Harvest Date Estimator.  This mobile App forecasts the best harvest date of Robusta, Arabica, Liberica, and Excelsa coffee varieties based on the local temperature forecast …

Profiling and analysis of reproductive phenology of four coffee species in the Philippines using the BBCH scale

Coffee / By

Morpho-developmental changes in Robusta coffee during inflorescence emergence (BBCH 51-59), flowering (BBCH 60-69), berry development (BBCH 70-79) and berry ripening (BBCH 80-89) Understanding growth patterns is essential in developing effective farm management strategies for tropical perennial crops such as coffee.  Hence, the DOST-PCAARRD-funded program “Smarter Approaches to Reinvigorate Agriculture as an Industry (SARAI) in the …

Optimum Planting Density & Fertilizer Rate

Queen Pineapple / By

With the aim of providing effective recommendations for increased productivity and profitability in QP, the combination of optimum planting distance and fertilizer application rate was evaluated in monocropping and QP-coconut intercropping systems in Camarines Norte, Samar and Leyte. Based on initial results, the combination of fertilizer recommended rate (298-70-315 kg/ha NPK) for QP and planting …

Queen Pineapple Somatic Embryogenesis Technology

Queen Pineapple / By

One of the research breakthroughs of the QP Program is the development of QP somatic embryogenesis protocol. As an alternative technique for rapid mass propagation of quality QP planting materials, it involves the use of crown shoot tip to produce true-to-type planting materials. Also, through this technology, 8,000 – 10,000 QP plantlets/explants can be produced …

Cost-Competitive Aquafeed from Lablab

Aquafeeds / By

DLSU developed a hardware and a system for harvesting and drying lab-lab to make it available for use year-round. The researchers developed the lab-lab biomass as a cost-competitive feedstock for milkfish fingerlings. This involved the design and fabrication of an automated machine vision-based capable of harvesting the algal mat.  Drying characteristics of lab-lab have been …
