Ongoing Projects

Publication of “The Philippine Journal of Coconut Studies”
May 1, 1976

Since 1976, the PCRDF through “The Philippine Journal of Coconut Studies” (PJCS) has been publishing issues which contained original and review papers on all aspects of agricultural and industrial researches on coconut. PJCS is a product of the Foundation’s efforts to stimulate the development of scientific knowledge relevant to the needs of the coconut industry, to serve as a link and a forum of discussion among various parties interested in the research aspects of the industry, to provide technical and non-technical information to farmers for adoption in their own farms, and to serve as a reference and educational material.

Best Paper on Coconut
1998

This project was launched in 1996 as part of the annual scientific conference of the Federation of Crop Science Societies of the Philippines (FCSSP). Various scientific papers from local scientists are presented and judged in a special session during the conference. Cash prizes are given and winning entries are published in the Philippine Journal of Coconut Studies (PJCS).

Comparative Analysis of Two Y3 Media Formulation Based on Chemical Grade (for makapuno embryos)


Media formulations vary depending on the requirements for growth of a particular crop. Chemicals and hormones are provided for optimum development of in vitro grown plants. In most tissue culture laboratories, reagent grade chemicals are used with the assumption that high purity would yield best results. Based on the assays of the reagents and technical grade chemicals, the difference in their purity is about 3%. Thus, the incorporation of technical instead of reagent grade chemicals will reduce the cost of media up to 80%.
