ECM PROJECT

Description
This is a DA-Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) funded project which intends to produce purebred makapuno seedlings thru the embryo culture technology developed by PCA wherein said embryo will be extracted from makapuno nuts and grown under laboratory condition. The project was conceptualized by ARDB, PCA, Central Office and being implemented at PCA, Reg. IV-A in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, DA-RFU IV-A and DAQuezon Agricultural Experiment Station (QAES) in Tiaong, Quezon where the laboratory is located. The project was launched in July 2011.

Objectives
Upgrade and use the facilities at QAES as a research-based station for makapuno projects and for commercial production of ECM seedlings; Set-up an ECM mass production laboratory, make seedlings available and affordable to farmers of CALABARZON areas and reduce the prevailing cost of seedlings to at least 50%; Establish a comprehensive research on makapunogalactomannan (thick liquid endosperm) as source of high end products that will encourage makapuno product utilization;

Accomplishment:
2,195 embryo cultured seedlings produced 1,742 seedlings available at the laboratory 441 seedlings at the screenhouse/ nursery 12 seedlings distributed
