Nipa palm (Nypa fruticans Wurmb.) has been identified as an important source of biofuel in the Philippines due to its ability to produce a large amount of sap that can be converted to alcohol. Percentage decontamination of young leaf explants sterilized with different sterilants after 10 weeks of incubation in the dark.
Collection and Genetic Diversity Analysis of Nipa Palm (Nypa Fruiticans Wurmb., Aracaceae) Germplasm
An overall genetic diversity of 0.61, indicating a relatively adequate level of genetic variation among the accessions, was identified. SSR markers proved useful for genetic diversity analysis as they successfully distinguished polymorphisms among nipa palm assemblages.

Ecological Engineering Approach for Pest Management
Population of predators, parasitoids and species richness were higher in fields close to flowering plants compared to fields without flowering plants. This can be attributed to the presence of flowering plants that serve as refuge and food source such as honey, nectar and pollen for these beneficial organisms. In most cases, they must fly long distances to forage for honey and nectar from flowering plants.
Therefore, it is vital for their survival and effectiveness as a biological control agent to plant these flowering plants to take advantage of their function in the rice ecosystem.
Hybrid Rice Development Consortium Multi-Location Replicated Yield Trial
Conservation of the rich communities of these beneficial organisms in the rice ecosystem is an important component for a sustainable integrated pest management (IPM) in rice. Since rice is a monoculture crop with low habitat biodiversity for beneficial organisms such as parasitoids and some species of predators, they are the most affected group as they need food that is not available in the rice field. Planting flowering plants improves habitat diversity, resulting in higher arthropod richness, higher abundance of predators and parasitoids in rice paddies and, in effect, low vulnerability to pest outbreaks.
An item developed by PhilRice, PR35711H, was also included in the trial and was given the code HRDC1435.
Increasing Farmers’ Access to High-Quality Rice Seeds through Efficient Seed Production Systems
These educational and campaign materials can serve as a bible for the farmers every time they grow rice for seed. A baseline survey of farmer beneficiaries prior to the project implementation was conducted to establish key impact indicators that will be used as a basis for measuring the outcome of the project interventions. Seasonal monitoring survey after 2013 DS and 2014 WS harvest was carried out to evaluate the results of the project interventions, especially the impact of the 2kg seeds in facilitating adoption of HQS and providing training to farmers on improving and maintaining rice seed quality.
Green Super Rice (GSR) for Resource-poor Farmers of the Philippines
4, 2014, GSR IRI 1 emerged as the most preferred with farmers commenting on its drought resistance, higher yield and adaptation than the local check in the area. In the same season, more farmers in the adjacent municipalities in Gerona, Camiling, Moncada and Pura, Tarlac and Nampicuan, Nueva Ecija were able to access the seeds for planting in the next WS. In the same area, the Rice Crop Manager (RCM) application software was introduced to farmers in Lutayan, Sultan Kudarat as a decision tool to improve farm productivity.

Alternative wetting and drying or AWD (irrigating the field when the water depth reaches 15 cm below the soil surface); Mid-season drainage or MSD (withdrawal of flood water 7 to 10 days before plume onset); and Saturated condition or SSC (the field is irrigated at a water depth of 2 to 3 cm when there is no visible surface water). The same trend was also observed in water productivity with respect to irrigation plus rainfall (Table 37). CF- constant flooding; AWD - alternating wetting and drying; SSC saturated soil culture; and MSD mid-season drainage.

XVIII. Elucidation of Growth Promotion Mechanisms of Radiation-Modified Carrageenan and Chitosan on Rice
Effect of radiation-modified carrageenan application on the growth, nutrient, and yield of rice
Foliar application of varying amounts of carrageenan was applied at rotation (15DAT), panicle initiation (40 DAT) and at the milking stage (75DAT). Treatment with 50 ppm and half NPK produced more tillers compared to the other treatments with half NPK rate. Grain yield (14% MC) of NSIC Rc216 as affected by application of two N rates and varying amounts of carrageenan (DS2014).
Plants with full NPK fertilizer gave a higher yield compared to those applied with half of the recommended NPK fertilizer.

Fifty percent (18 out of 36) of the beneficiary farmers from the pilot cluster in Barangays Bulusan, Calizon and Sta. Soil samples based on the ten color codes in the rice fertilization maps were collected and subjected to MOET tests to determine the nutrient supply capacity of individual soils. The results of a validation experiment in the municipalities of Zambales showed promising results for the application of MOET as a fertilizer recommendation generator, as yield results were better than other fertilizer recommendation guides (Table 51).
The results of the target yield determination accuracy showed higher reliability and better proximity according to the MOET application (Table 52).
Weed control practices (any practice, not just herbicides) will have a slightly different effect on individual species in a population mix. In the wet season, the average grain yields for irrigation techniques were from 3.66 to 3.98 t/ha, and in the dry season from 6.61 to 7.25 t/ha. In the wet season, grain yields ranged from 3.87 to 4.10 t/ha, and the maximum grain yield was achieved with post-emergence herbicide application at 15 DAS.
In the wet season, the weed population was considerably less than in the dry season, but more grasses were noted, such as Echinochloa colona and Fimbristylis miliacea.

Rice grain yield (t/ha), agronomic nitrogen use efficiency (ANUE) in soils with different fertility levels and varying amount of N applied in Region 3, 2014DS. Application of high N fertilizer to low N soil in the wet season did not significantly increase grain yield. Optimum grain yield could also be achieved even without application of N fertilizer due to low utilization of applied N in the wet season.

Genetic Diversity of RTBV and RTSV Isolates from Different Rice Tungro-infected Areas in the
The study aims to determine the genetic variability of RTBV and RTSV isolates from different rice tungro-infected areas in the Philippines through the use of molecular markers and response screening of a differential set of rice varieties. Differences in patterns of nucleotide diversity in RTBV across geographic regions may imply that factors influencing nucleotide diversity may also vary within provinces. Differences in nucleotide diversity patterns between RTBV and RTSV across geographic regions may imply that factors affecting nucleotide diversity are affecting the two viruses independently.
The amount of heterogeneity among isolates from the same province and the degree of genetic differentiation among provinces were reflected in the phylogenetic trees.
