R&D underpins our proposals and grants, driving innovation with our published research as the cornerstone
We aim for both scientific and societal impact of R&D meaning the latter can be more emphasized by implementing more stakeholder-oriented and goal-driven R&D applications
We focus on forward-looking topics like disaster early warning and agricultural forecasting to preemptively address societal challenges and promote resilience
Meta-analysis, literature reviews, and method assessment for informed decision-making
Cutting-edge scientific research and feasibility studies
Customized map viewers and dashboards to visualize results
Leveraging quantitative and qualitative approaches
Supporting graduate students and engaging with stakeholders
Review and validation of research outputs for accuracy, quality, and relevance
Evaluation of research projects based on quality, relevance, feasibility, and potential impact
This project evaluates the field efficacy, crop safety, and practical application of Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki (Btk), Trichoderma-based, and neem-based biopesticides against major pests and diseases of selected crops under Philippine conditions. The trials aim to generate FPA-compliant data to support biopesticide registration and promote safer, eco-friendly crop protection alternatives that can help reduce dependence on conventional pesticides.
The project forms part of FARM Philippines, under the Financing Agro-Chemical Reduction and Management (FARM) program, with IMPACT R&D as Implementing Agency.
