El Niño is a recurring event and its negative effects have been vividly felt in the Philippines. In preparation for future El Niño occurrence, PCARRD has compiled information and technologies specific to ENSO mitigating measures. Some of these technologies are as follows:
S

Sector El Niņo La Niņa
Agricultural Resources Management Sector Evaporation Suppressant Alleycropping
Crops Sector Drought-Tolerant Crops Flood-Tolerant Grafted Tomato
Fisheries Sector Production of Saline-Tolerant Tilapia Floating Cage Culture in Small Water Impounding Projects and Small Farm Reservoir
Forestry Sector Forest Fire Prevention and Control Strategies Stream Bank Stabilization through Vegetative Means
Livestock Sector Practical Ways of Alleviating Heat Stress in Swine and Poultry Minimizing Parasitic Infestation in Ruminants During Wet Season

For more information about ENSO mitigating measures, a hard copy of the book with the same title is available at PCARRD. The book is also available in CD format.

The book and CD formats contain the following information: introduction about ENSO; the world and Philippine setting; impact assessment; mitigating measures for EL Niņo and La Niņa; and indigenous knowledge and practices. The technologies presented apply to agriculture, livestock, forestry, and fisheries sectors. Some of these are considered outputs of research and development activities of different agencies.
