TAGAYTAY CITY, PHILIPPINES | The BPI Crop Pest Management Division (CPMD) celebrated a remarkable achievement at the recently concluded 2024 DA-BPI Annual National Research and Development Review, securing both 1st Place in the Best Poster Category and 2nd Place in the Best Research Paper Category.
The team was recognized for their project titled “National Assessment on the Incidence of Arthropod Pests and Diseases of Cassava as Influenced by Fertilization and Elevation as Basis for Forecasting Model,” presented by Ms. Jade Enot-Sanidad, Agriculturist I of the CPMD-Pest Forecasting Section.
The project, funded by the DA-Bureau of Agricultural Research, has garnered attention for its innovative approach to the digitalization of cassava pest surveillance and their initial results of the cassava forecasting model.
BPI CPMD would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to all those involved in the Phase 1 and Phase 2 Corn/Cassava Project, especially to Dr. Edwin Benigno, the Department of Agriculture-Regional Crop Protection Centers (CAR, Regions I, II, III, IVA, IVAB, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, CARAGA, BARMM), Regional Data Managers, Regional Data Collectors, and the National Corn Program for their invaluable contributions and guidance throughout the implementation of the project since 2016.
These awards highlight the dedication and collaborative spirit of the team, reinforcing BPI CPMD and RCPCs’ commitment to pest surveillance, monitoring, and advancing agricultural research and development in the Philippines.
Kudos, CPMD!
