Physical Description32p
Summary, Etc.A technology assessment was conducted to determine the status of a technology prior to promotion and commercialization. In the process, a technology assessment (TA) team was organized composed of experts from PCARRD, UPLB-FSSRI and FPRDI. Then a technology assessment/evaluation workshop was conducted with the objective of applying the technology assessment/evaluation mechanism that includes the following: technology identification/prescreening; technology scanning and technology validation. In the technology identification/prescreening, existing biotechnology products and processess generated by the Philippine R&D system were gathered/identified and listed. The identified biotechnologies were classified, whether commodity, product, process, etc. Thereafter, the biotechnologies were categorized into biofertilizers or tissue culture. Based on the information available and status of the biotechnologies, the TA team selected banana tissue culture and BIO-N as the technologies to be subjected to technology scanning. In the technology scanning, banana tissue culture and BIO-N were assessed using the STEEP criteria: social acceptability, technical feasibility, economic viability, environmental soundness and political acceptability. A rating of 1 to 5 (5 for high-end fit and 1 for low-end fit) was used. The results revealed that for BIO-N at farmer level the average score was 4.4; at the producer level the average score was 3.4. For banana tissue culture, the average scores were 3.4 and 4.8 at the laboratory and farmer levels, respectively. These ratings showed that the technologies were acceptable. The two biotechnologies were further assessed both at the producer and farmer levels through the Quick Response Appraisal (QRA) for the systematic identification of gaps associated with the application of technologies by particular type of end-users, and Risk Management Process (RMP) for risk analysis and identification of possible interventions to mitigate or overcome such risks. At the farmer level, BIO-N was highly acceptable however, the problem of regular supply was identified. While at the producer level, there was a need to establish a clear cut guidelines how the BIO-N could be produced at commercial level. On banana tissue culture at the farmer level, the importance of organizing the farmers was identified because it is useless to use tissue cultured banana if the neigboring farms are not planting the same; whereas at the laboratory level, the main problem was the sourcing of healthy corms and improved design of diagnostic kit/indexing tool. The next step is intended to address the gaps and the risks identified both for products
