| Work Experience | Participated in Australian funded projects looking at strategies for the rehabiltiation of degrded uplands in Central Philippines.
Participated in projects investigating the potential of tree legume resdues and returning crop residues in enchancing the agricultural sustainability of acid plants
Project in developing P management strategies that would increase and sustain rice-based cropping systems in the uplands by understanding long term P dynamics in ultisols, and the synergistic effect of rice-legume cropping.
Studied the glomalin and aggregate stability status of Philippine Soils. |
