The Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCAARRD) recently approved a project titled, “Field Verification of Natural Fungicide from Tasmannia piperita (Hook. F.) Miers against Alternaria brassicae of Lettuce and Phytophtora infestans of Tomato.”

In connection with the project, DOST-PCAARRD recently conducted an inception meeting and field monitoring visit for the newly approved project under the leadership of Dr. Victor B. Amoroso at the Central Mindanao University (CMU), Musuan, Bukidnon.

The project aims to conduct field verification of natural fungicide from Tasmannia piperita (Hook.f.) Miers, a primitive dicot plant which grows in exposed ridges and peaks of high altitude mossy forests. The project also aims to establish nurseries for the mass propagation of T. piperita through seeds, wildlings and in vitro culture.
