Potential biological control agents of QP major insect pest, Pink Pineapple Mealybug were identified. Predatory earwig insect, Hambletonia pseudococcina parasitoid, and insect-harming fungi such as Beauveria sp., Lecanicillium lecanii, and Metarhizium anisopliae.
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 …
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 …

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 …
Copra cake, a by-product of the coconut oil industry of the Philippines was subjected to a solid state fermentation process using technology developed by Biotech of UP Los Baños in order to enhance the protein content of copra meal to about 45% that is comparable to soybean meal. This processed product is known as protein …
The University of the Philippines Visayas developed a microalgae paste as an alternative source of larval feed especially when rations of live microalgae are insufficient. Microalgae paste was utilized for two production cycles in order to determine its acceptability and profitability compared with the conventional hatchery protocols. The program also developed proper packaging of the …
This proposed project aspires to test and validate the artificial insemination (AI) technology as a tool in enhancing the reproductive efficiency of Philippine native chickens and develop semen processing and AI protocols that would match the native chicken breeding and farm management practices in the country. Specifically the proposed project aims to characterize the semen …
UPLB together with the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCAARRD) developed a special film preservative developed from cassava starch and potassium sorbate, which can potentially extend the shelf life of salted egg up to 12 weeks, which is seven weeks longer than …
The Spray-dried salted duck egg powder not only offers flavor but also provides product innovations in the market. Spray-dried salted duck egg powders are lighter in color and have finer particles than cabinet-dried powders.
The balut vending machine is an egg vending machine that is fully automated, equipped with a heating system. The goal is to increase the marketability of duck eggs across the country. This technology is in partnership with the marketing team of UST Research Center for Social Sciences and Education (RCSSEd).
