RECOMMENDED AND RELEASED VARIETIES

PHILSURIN Recommended and Released Varieties

Introduction
PHILSURIN (Philippine Sugar Research Institute Foundation, Inc.) took over the VMC Sugarcane Breeding Program in 1997. It adopted new technologies and tools that significantly improved the process of developing better performing sugarcane varieties. Since 2002, it had registered and released 14 varieties for commercial planting.

2002

Registered 7 VMC varieties with the National Seed Industry Council (NSIC). Released 2 Philsurin Selections for specific mill districts. Registered the first PHILSURIN- Bred Varieties. Tested and Recommended 3 Foreign Varieties for Commercial Planting. Released & secured patent for 3 PSR (PHILSURIN) varieties from the 2000 Series.

2005

2007

2009

Moreover, due to its active variety exchange program with several countries, it had extensively tested and recommended 3 foreign varieties for commercial planting in 2006.
