[Title] => Income from gmelina tree plantation can be tripled
[Summary] => A technology that can triple a tree grower’s income from gmelina plantation has been developed.
Credit for the development of the "coppicing gmelina technology" goes to the Los Baños-based Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau (DENR-ERDB).
The technology is a cost-saving technique that can considerably increase the income of gmelina growers and result in bigger trees that can sequester (capture) a higher amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

[Title] => Cavite folk develop own technology
[Summary] => Yes, rural people themselves can develop their own technology.
Take the ingenious farmers of Silang, Cavite, who have evolved what has come to be popularly known as 1:4 Pooc Agroforestry. 1 stands for one hectare and 4 for the number of crops simultaneously grown in it.
Lately, reported Barangay Pooc II chairman Virgilio Tibayan, the ratio has reached 1:7 to 1:10.

[Title] => New forest by-products industry evolving
[Summary] => A new forest by-products industry is taking shape.
For want of a name, R&D NOTES is tentatively naming it Malapapaya By-products Industry, which is all about the items developed from the malapapaya tree. The species is so named because its branches grow the way the papaya leaves do (horizontal).
It is from the malapapaya wood that toothpick, popsicle and lollipop stick, chopstick, ice cream spoon, tongue depressor, food boxes, pencil slot, wooden shoes, and crates are made.

[Title] => Exotic bamboos now thrive on Mt Makiling
[Summary] => If you enjoy being in a bamboo grove, go see the bambusetum on Mt. Makiling.
The Los Baños Bambusetum now nurtures 40 bamboo species obtained through local and international exchange with research institutions, botanic gardens, and even private collectors.
Some of the species came from China, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, Bangladesh, Australia, Colombia, and the United States.
Initial species came from local sources.

[Title] => Computer-based tree planting
[Summary] => A computer-based tree planting scheme that matches reforestation sites and the species to be planted holds great promise of helping turn the tide in the government’s efforts to save what is left of the country’s forests.
Called Species-Site Compatibility (SSC), the technology was developed jointly by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau (DENR-ERB) and the Green Tropics International (GTI), a nongovernment organization.

[Title] => Dipterocarp species can now be cloned
[Summary] => It is now possible to clone dipterocarp tree species.
A process called non-mist clonal multiplication technique has been developed by the Los Baños-based Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau (DENR-ERDB) headed by Director Celso P. Diaz.
Over the past decade, ERDB researchers led by Dr. Rafael Cadiz have been addressing the challenge of enrichment planting of dipterocarps in inadequately stocked residual forests.

[Title] => Perfumes from trees, shrubs & other foliage
[Summary] => There are perfumes–and many more–in those trees, shrubs and other foliage in backyards, on the hills, and in the forests.
Take patchouli, also called kablin.
The leaves of this erect aromatic undershrub (height: 1-1.2 meters), when crushed along with "gugo" and lemongrass, serve as shampoo of old folk and even modern ladies. The oil from dried patchouli leaves is considered one of the most important oils of the perfume industry.

[Title] => Water lily good as charcoal briquette
[Summary] => Have you ever wondered why water hyacinth, locally known as water lily, has become a fixture in bodies of water, particularly in lakes?
It’s because water hyacinth, the world’s most "invasive" aquatic plant, has a very efficient method of reproduction, as found in scientific studies across the globe.
Consider: One water hyacinth plant can produce 5,000-6,000 seeds per season and remain viable up to 15 years. A single plant can produce 797,160 daughter plants in three months.

[Title] => Butterfly genebank set up on Mt. Makiling
[Summary] => A pilot demonstration area for butterfly gene banking has been set up on Mt. Makiling in Laguna.
The area was established by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau (DENR-ERDB) at its Makiling Forest Reserve-based Los Baños Experiment Station.
The genebank has been envisioned to serve as a living repository of species of butterflies, both endemic and exotic, that are found in the vicinity of the legendary mountain.

But in the agriculture world, it’s an okra-like plant commonly used in the preparation of "sinigang" mix, tea, jam, jelly, and juice. It is also a good source of fiber products such as textile, thread, and pulp and paper.
Roselle’s seeds are likewise best as feed for chicken.
Its leaves have medicinal uses as well, such as treatment for constipation, indigestion, antiseptic, and aphrodisiac. It also can normalize blood pressure and prevent cancer.
