EMERGING INNOVATIONS EPISODE 2 – ABSORBENT POLYMERS

  Did you know that water-absorbing Polymer can be used in growing bananas? Yes, Polymers! Farmers would not need to water the banana plant so often. Once watered, the Polymer will absorb the water and release it when the ground is dry. Interested to learn more? Well, this episode is for you. For today’s episode, we will be highlighting a study from the University of Southeastern Philippines, a state university located at the heart of Davao City, Philippines titled “Application of Absorbent Polymer in Improving Water Use Efficiency and Growth Performance of ‘Lakatan’ Banana (musa sapientum l.) Under Nursery Condition”. We will learn directly from one of the proponents of this scholarly innovation, Engr. Ruel Tuyogon, a faculty of the University of Southeastern Philippines – Tagum Mabini Campus. Let’s learn more from him regarding their innovation. If you want to read more about their innovation, you may go to the journal and look for their paper titled “Application of Absorbent Polymer in Improving Water Use Efficiency and Growth Performance of ‘Lakatan’ Banana (musa sapientum l.) Under Nursery Condition”.
