DOST-PCAARRD articulates R&D support for Mindanao

Dr. Edwin C.Villar, Deputy Executive Director for Research and Development of the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCAARRD) presents the different science and technology initiatives the Council has funded and were developed by its partner agencies for the benefit of the country’s agriculture and aquatic sectors.

NSAARRD 2016 Best Research Paper joins DATE

The technology developed from the study Varietal Integrity of Promising Rubber Clones through DNA Fingerprinting joins this year’s Davao Agri Trade Expo (DATE) after having won the National Symposium on Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (NSAARRD) as best research paper recently.

Conducted by the University of Southern Mindanao (USM), a member of the Cotobato Agriculture Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development Consortium (CAARRDEC), the DNA fingerprinting technology seeks to assure farmers that the planting materials they are using are genuine and can enhance crop productivity.
