local.seafdecaqd.extractApart from the uniqueness of edible seaweeds as a highly nutritious food commodity, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) has found out that it can also provide a natural fertilizer capable of increasing rice yield by over 65 percent. DOST Bicol Regional Director Tomas Briñas here on Thursday said a field trial conducted in Bulacan by the team led by Dr. Gil Magsino from the National Crop Protection Center of the University of the Philippines-Los Baños (UPLB-NCPC) recently came out with this breakthrough. In the study, carrageenan, an indigestible polysaccharide (carbohydrate) extracted from edible seaweeds, when degraded into a nanoparticle size through irradiation, turns out to be an effective growth promoter and inducer of resistance against rice's major pests, Briña said.en
