Government and private sector initiatives for the growth of the mango industry, such as developing policies, strengthening R&D efforts, and introducing S&Ts, have been implemented. However, a comprehensive and sustainable plan of action can enhance these initiatives. The project titled “Changing Patterns in social, demographic and economic condition of farmers in plantation crops production systems: …
The use of authentic and true-to-type planting materials is one of the most important considerations in ensuring that only those preferred and popular or much-sought cultivars are commercially grown and sold. SSR markers to generate unique DNA sequences for varietal classification are already well documented and widely used in several crops. In support, a study …
A previous study developed a protein-based detection kit for identifying true-to-type Philippine “Carabao” mango using antiserum generated from protein markers. This kit was able to discriminate the carabao varieties from the non-carabao types. However, before this technology is brought to the users, this dipstick should be validated. This proposed project will pilot test and validate …
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification or LAMP has been one of the popular molecular techniques used by several researchers in detecting the presence of pathogenic microscopic organisms that cause diseases to plants, animals, and even humans. A study developed a LAMP detection assay kit to detect the causative fungi of anthracnose, stem-end rot, and scab diseases of …
The “FIESTA” or Farmers and Industry Encounters through Science and Technology Agenda aims to provide an avenue for the promotion and dissemination, adoption, or commercialization of technologies developed by the member institutions. Farmers, PMAs, partner NGOs, private sector partners, entrepreneurs, students, technologists, researchers, media practitioners, and other stakeholders are gathered in events held in Roxas …
There is a great need to improve ‘Carabao’ mango since its susceptibility to diseases results in low yield and poor quality of mango fruits. Molecular marker-assisted breeding has been instrumental in the development of new varieties in many crops. In this regard, a project on improvement of ‘Carabao’ Mango Production and Fruit Quality through Quantitative …
The ongoing project strengthens the capacities of Intellectual Property and Technology Business Management (IP-TBM) Office to enhance its commercialization activities. It involves the following: Enhancement and sustainability of the operation of IPTBM office through patent landscaping and mining; Discovery of emerging technological trends in Mango and recommend priority R & D programs through patent mining; …
STCBF on mango production will be established in selected Barangays of Pulilan, Bulacan. This project will employ the STCBF modality to the organized mango growers engaged in mango production, featuring collaborative efforts among technical experts, mango growers and extension workers. The project will address the problem of low mango productivity by adopting recommended S&T interventions …
The establishment of the STMF on mango production in Paradise Farm in Clark, Pampanga will serve as a show window of the recommended S&T interventions on mango production for wider promotion and adoption of the mango growers not only in Pampanga but the nearby provinces in Central Luzon. The recommended S&T interventions will include Integrated …
This project generally aims to improve the local mango production in Pulilan, Bulacan through adoption of the recommended technologies on mango production, postharvest handling, and processing. Specifically, it intends to enhance the capability of mango growers, sprayer-contractors and LGUs to implement S&T-based technologies on mango production and postharvest handling; to enhance the capability of local …
