Pre-processing is necessary to bring quality and safe mussels to the consumers. Depuration is a process of eliminating or reducing bacterial load in mussels by transferring live harvested mussels to treated seawater using recirculating or flow-through system. These techniques allow the mussels to self-purify and expel ingested bacteria from their guts that pose risk to …
Mussel Longline Technology is an alternative to stake method in culturing mussels. It consists of a mainline of at least 18-millimeter (mm) diameter polypropylene (PP) rope. The length of the mainline may vary from 20 m to 100 m depending on available capital and the size of the culture area. Recycled plastic containers are used …
One major problem that hinders the sustainability of mussel production is the reliance of the industry on seed stock from the wild. The natural population is declining due to environmental degradation and overharvesting. Hence, there is an increased effort in developing the hatchery and nursery protocols for the green mussel to augment the natural spat …
This project aims to develop a geo-database of ITPs. Specifically, to map the species types, location and extent of ITPs by applying machine learning techniques to available RS datasets; to develop an online/web-based GIS database of ITP types, location and extent integrated with other spatial and non-spatial datasets; to determine areas suitable for establishing new …

This study aims to develop protocol on the improvement of quality seeds produced by the Mindanao Tree Seed Center (MTSC), through different seed quality enhancement treatments. The center aims to develop suitable seed quality enhancement protocol for specified areas such as mined-out area, reforestation area and tree plantations, to produce an improved and fortified forest …
A technology for producing high-quality charcoal was developed by the Forest Products Research and Development Institute (FPRDI). The technology is developed under the project, “High-Quality Charcoal from Bamboo for Industrial Uses,” which is being monitored and funded by the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science …
The ASFV Nanold Biosensor test kit is a nucleic acid-based assay that is a combination of LAMP and nanotechnology where gold nanoparticles are used to aggregate with amplified DNA genetic materials after amplification to visualize the reaction after 30 minutes. The test can be done on samples collected from the live animal such as blood, …
A web-based system that uses GIS, remote sensing and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index or the index of plant “greenness” or photosynthetic activity to monitor the status of agricultural crops. This can be used to determine the following: crop damage assessment (typhoon, drought, and pests), land use/cover change, vulnerability assessment, identify possible breeding ground of major …
Tilapia production in the Philippines is greatly affected by increasing water temperature especially during warm months of the year. One way to address the effect of water temperature rise in hatchery ponds is the application of shading. The aquashade technology makes use of greenhouse nets built on ponds to provide shade during summer months, which …

The development of Carrageenan Plant Growth Promoter (CPGP) is funded by PCAARRD. CPGP has been proven to increase rice yields by 15 to 30 percent based on multi-location trials in 7 regions in the Philippines also making the crops more resistant to blight and infestation such as the tungro virus. Carrageenan also helps in strengthening …
