The Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory (PTCL) of the VSU Department of Horticulture (DOH) is now upgraded with new equipment and laboratory glassware to produce selected bamboo planting materials and other horticultural crops.

VSU’s fisheries and fish ecology expert from the Department of Biological Sciences (DBS) is a recipient of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Balik Scientist Program (BSP) award, a prestigious grant given to Filipino scientists to encourage them to serve in our country.

To assist the project on Asiatic Palm Weevil (APW), a type of pest that is a major threat to coconut production, the VSU Department of Pest Management (DPM) upgraded the old biocontrol room into a bigger facility capable of mass-producing biocontrol agents or beneficial microorganisms to control pests of coconut and other intercrops.

Right after winning big in the regional debate championship, the VSU Debate Society secured another victory in showcasing their debating prowess in the 1st Eastern Visayas Youth for the Futures Forum (EVYFF) organized by the Biliran Province State University (BiPSU) Main Campus.
