About the Technologies

Below are innovative technologies developed in the category of Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources:

• ARRAS – A reef assessment system composed of a towable platform that captures high-resolution pictures of the seafloor and video stitching software that converts those images into a detailed map.
• Bio-N – A microbial-based fertilizer that supplies nitrogen and enhances the growth of rice, corn, and vegetables.
• BioGroe – A microbial inoculant containing plant growth-promoting bacteria designed to increase crop yield with lower production costs.
• HabTech – A device that removes harmful algal blooms by spraying affected water surfaces with clay powder and removing the resulting flocculants.
• Mykoplus – A biofertilizer containing beneficial microorganisms that help plant roots obtain more nutrients and water from the soil, enhancing crop growth, yield, and income.
• Mykovam – A soil-based biological fertilizer containing mycorrhizal fungi that helps seedling roots absorb water and nutrients, protects them from diseases, and increases tolerance to drought and heavy metals.
• Sinta Papaya – The first Philippine-bred hybrid papaya. It is gynodioecious, semi-dwarf, highly prolific, and moderately resistant to the papaya ringspot virus (PRSV).
• Trichoderma – Trichoderma spores and powdered rice bran inoculant used as a biofertilizer, growth promoter, and biological control agent.
