4 SOME OF OUR DEVELOPED TECHNOLOGIES ARE BIO - N Effective nitrogen supplement for rice and corn BIO -N is a microbial-based-fertilizer mainly composed of microorganisms (bacteria) isolated from roots of talahib (Saccharum spontaneum). These bacteria can convert atmospheric nitrogen (N 2 ) into a form usable by rice and corn plants and can enhance shoot growth and root development. Benefits derived from using Bio N Replaces 30 50% of the total nitrogen requirement of rice and corn Increases yield of rice and corn Makes plants healthy and green even in drought and in the presence of pests Reduces incidence of rice tungro and corn ear-worm attack Nitro Plus Nitro Plus is a seed inoculant for legumes composed of bacteria called rhizobia and carriers like soil and charcoal. The rhizobia, together with the legumes, can fix nitrogen from the air making it available for the plants. Nitro Plus can take the place of chemical fertilizer at reduced cost. Results of field trials showed an increase in yield of 100% for soybean, 29% for mungbean and 39% for peanut. 4
5 BioCon BioCon Microbial Inoculant Fertilizer contains Trichoderma that lowers disease incidence by parasitizing the pathogens. The inoculant can be used for seed coating or for soil inoculation. The inoculant consists of three different species of Trichoderma isolated from Philippine forests and is massproduced using pure organic carrier. The inoculant is seed coated to palay, corn, vegetables and other crops before planting. For instance, rice seeds inoculated with Biocon only need 70% chemical fertilizer but would give an additional 25% yield. 'Makapuno', an openpollinated glutinous corn yields an average of 6.26 tons of fresh ears in only 70 days. It flowers in 44 days and grows up to 216 cm. It has a pronounced cone-shaped ear with grain filling up to the tip. It is less sticky when boiled and is therefore less messy. 'Makapuno' is a good cash crop because it can be harvested early and the price is higher than field corn. Improved Macapuno IPB Corn 919 IPB 919 is a three-way cross yellow corn hybrid which yields an average of 6.35 tons/ha. It can be harvested 104 days after planting and can be grown in all regions in the country throughout the year. It is resistant to downy mildew and is tolerant to corn borer. 'Assunta' Off- Season Hybrid Tomato Assunta is a semi-determinate F1 hybrid, table-type tomato variety. It is very vigorous and highly prolific. It flowers days from planting. Fruits can be harvested days after they are transplanted. Assunta has small to medium-sized (30-60 g) plum fruits. The fruits are firm and red-orange when ripe. It has a highlevel of resistance to bacterial wilt and tolerance to foliage diseases. It is heat-tolerant and performs well during off-season months. Assunta can be grown in low elevation as well as midelevation which is comparable or even better than the commercial F1 hybrid variety and the traditional farmers' varieties. 5
6 IPB SINTA PAPAYA Spray-dried Instant Green Mango Shake and Green Mango Powder 'Sinta' is the first Philippine hybrid papaya, a product of a papaya backcross breeding program which started in It is moderately tolerant to the deadly PRSV. The flesh is very sweet, firm, yellow range in color, very thick, has a very pleasant flavor and aroma, and has a high edible portion. The tree is semi-dwarf and a prolific bearer. 'Sinta' is a registered variety with the National Seed Industry Council. Spray-dried Mango Powder and Instant Juices Hibiscus Hybrids Duhat Wine Mango Wine Centennial Series Millennium Series 6
