Hot temperatures, particularly during El Nino episodes can lower fry production in hatcheries by reducing the frequency of spawning and egg production. To ensure year-round fry production, the program designed an aquashade to mitigate the effect of warm temperatures. The aquashade made from collapsible metal frames and greenhouse net which can block sunlight …
The Zeolite-silica nanocomposite (ZNC) is a novel material synthesized and fully characterized at the CLSU Nanotechnology R & D Facility. ZNC can be utilized as soil and water conditioner for aquaculture purposes. Because of its enhanced properties: 262 m2 /g (surface area), smooth surface morphology (SEM), diameter size 38.26±8.32 nm, and amorphous – it is …
It is accurate, faster, user-friendly and convenient diagnosis using the developed detection kit, compared to the time consuming and lesser user-friendly conventional diagnosis. Farmers themselves can now be fully equipped with reliable information as to the existence/occurrence of any pathogenic bacterial pathogen in their culture operation. With the developed immuno-assay diagnostic kit using nanotechnology, the …

Far Infra Red Drying System and Compact Ultra Impeller Rice Mill are in the upscaled testing stage to address the concern in drying and milling process which are high losses (5.8%) with the existing drying method and low milling recovery. The Compact Impeller Rice Mill developed by the Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization …

The Rice Combine Harvester developed by PhilRice can be readily mounted and dismounted from the hand tractor unit. This maximizes the utilization of hand tractors which are common agricultural equipment among rice farmers in the Philippines.
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 protocols 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 …
