SARAI and MPSU align digital pest-monitoring tools for Cordillera farms
A September 2 coordination meeting explored complementary digital tools for highland and lowland crop monitoring.
Project SARAI Kordilyera, the DOST-SARAI Central Hub, and Mountain Province State University met virtually on September 2, 2026 to align agricultural pest and disease monitoring technologies.
MPSU presented ClimaPestDetect, a DOST-CAR-funded platform supporting early identification and decision-making for pests and diseases affecting high-value semi-temperate crops. Participants discussed complementary coverage with SPIDTECH, including highland and lowland applications. This was a coordination discussion, not an announcement of completed integration.
