Researcher –Honey Fe C. Gumay (on-going)  The Demo-farm was conducted in JO Rubber Agrarian Reform Benefeciaries Cooperative, Lapaz, Naga Zamboanga Sibugay. The objectives of this project is to showcase the advancement of inter-cropping to the existing rubber tree. Currently, the age of the rubber tree is 4 years old with the distance of 2m x continue reading : Demo-farm: Rubber based intercrop with different banana varieties

Researcher –Honey Fe C. Gumay and Jose M. Remollo III (on-going) Germplasm collection have provided original materials for plant breeding program and crop improvement. Because of their genetic diversity and possible occurrence of particular desirable genes, germplasm collection are useful targets to plant breeders. Recently, many of germplasm are being lost worldwide due to habitat continue reading : Collection of Rubber promising and potential clones(Special Projects)

Researcher –Honey Fe C. Gumay (on-going)         The Multilateral Clone Exchange Program has been organized by the International Rubber Research Development Board (IRRDB) to preserved potential clones of good performance. Thus, popular clones evolved in different countries are being introduce to member countries and evaluate under the local agro climatic conditions. Fifteen countries under IRRDB continue reading : PRRI- IRRDB Multilateral Clone Exchange Trial (Special Projects)

Researcher –Honey Fe C. Gumay and Jose M. Remollo III           Proper identification of rubber clones plays a vital role in crop management system and research. Although clones do not exhibit highly distinct variations. Most of them possess differences in certain minor, but more or less stable morphological features which can be used for identification. continue reading : Phenotypic Diversity of Small-Scale Hevea Germplasm Grown in PRRI Nursery at their Juvenile Stage (Completed )

Growth Performance of Rubber Latex Timber Clones Under Selected Mining Areas in Zamboanga Peninsula Researcher-Meynard P. Abello and Gilbert D. Rance (On-going) Of the country’s total land area of 30 million hectares, some 9 million hectares have been identified as having “high mineral potential”, said the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB). As of January 2012, continue reading : Growth Performance of Rubber Latex Timber Clones Under Selected Mining Areas in Zamboanga Peninsula
