Power Sprayer
The mango power sprayer nozzle is an enhanced
sprayer that improves the poor uniformity of
distribution and spray deposition of existing sprayer,
reduces the volume of spray solution losses due to
run-off and drift, and increases spraying capacity.
It consists of hydraulic nozzles and expandable
metal lance. The prototype achieves around 398

BANANA
Prescribed Protocol for (Saba) Banana Production
This prescribed protocol for production contains
the technology package and processes from
production to processing that are applicable to
saba production. This describes the protocols and
recommendations on the following:
1. Site selection:
a. Saba contiguously grown in at least 1/2
ha (not properly managed)
b. Slightly rolling area (monoculture) or in
flat plain areas (under coconut or open
field)
2. Population Control/Management: Maintain a
mat density of 1,250/ha with 3-4 plants per
mat at different stages of growth.
ITIK PINAS
Itik Pinas Breeds
A genetically superior breeder duck developed by
DOST-PCAARRD and BAI-NSPRDC, Itik Pinas has
higher productivity, shorter brooding and rearing
period, and longer laying period versus the normal
duck line. It has three types: (1) IP-Itim and (2)
IP-Khaki which are targeted for the use of breeders
and (3) IP-Kayumanggi targeted for individual
commercial duck raisers to produce balut and
salted eggs.

RICE
Ride-on Precision Seeder for Wet Direct Seeding
(Old name: Riding-type, self-propelled rice seeder)
The machine is a local 8-row riding-type precision
seeder that can have a seeding rate of 15kg/
ha to 30 kg/ha and at least 2 ha/day field
capacity and suitable for both hybrid and inbred
rice production.
Rice Transplanter (Riding type)
Suitable for transplanting inbred and hybrid rice.
It can transplant 2 to 6 seedlings per hill at a
planting depth of 2-6 cm, hill spacing of 12-18 cm,
and row spacing of 30 cm. Helps minimize labor
cost compared to manual transplanting, which
requires 20-25 persons/day/ha and takes only
two persons to complete transplanting activities
and has a planting capacity of 2 ha/day with 24
hills/m2 planting density.
Rice Transplanter Attachment
This has rice transplanter implements that can
be readily mounted to and dismounted from
the common hand tractor. The availability of
such implements will significantly increase the
utilization of hand tractor in farm areas as well
as reduce the cost of farm level mechanization
that will directly benefit the farmers, rice field
owners and planters.
Rice Combine Harvester
An improved rice combine harvester with ground
drive rubber tracks, triple airstream separation
system, screw-type conveyor and hydraulic system
for header and reel height adjustment. It has the
ability to operate during wet harvest season with
an increased capacity from 1.5 has to 2 has/day.

An efficient rice harvesting implement that can

hour operation.
Stabilized Brown Rice (SBR)
SBR/unpolished rice is a freshly milled paddy/rough
rice with improved shelf-life from 1-4 months to
4-9 months. The rice is subjected to optimum
combination of saturated steaming and oven drying
for a certain period of time and temperature which
deactivates the inherent enzymes present in the
bran layer of brown rice/unpolished rice to improve
shelf-life.
Superheated Steam Treatment System for Stabilized Brown Rice (SBR)
Used to produce SBR. It facilitates treatment of
brown rice with superheated steam to prolong its
shelf life from 1-2 months to 5-9 months. It is
intended to provide economic advantage to brown
rice producers by preventing rapid degradation of
produced brown rice.
Carrageenan Plant Growth Promoter
Carrageenan enhances the crop vigor of rice.
Productive tillers and panicle length (length
of inflorescence) are significantly higher in
Carrageenan-treated plants. Productive tillers are
the rice stems that bear panicles (rice inflorescence)
with fertilized grains, while longer rice panicle is
associated with producing more grains.
Carrageenan is an indigestible polysaccharide
(carbohydrates) extracted from edible seaweeds,
which can be an effective plant growth supplement.
At a very small dose, this supplement makes an
effective organic fertilizer that can increase rice
yield by 15-30%.

1. Provide cash grants to smallholder rice
farmers who are affected by episodes of
significant drop in palay farmgate prices;
2. Facilitate access of rice farmers to timely
funds for procurement of needed inputs; and,
