Researcher by heart
Dr. Calixto M. Protacio finished his
Bachelors degree in Agriculture and MS
Horticulture at the University of the
Philippine Los Baos. He went to
Pennsylvania State University, USA
where he got his Ph.D. in Plant
Physiology. He also conducted his
post-doctoral research in University of
California, Riverside.
Dr. Protacio has worked as professor at
the University of the Philippines Los
Baos, director of the Institute of Plant
Breeding and Crop Science Cluster for
three years; and editor-in-chief of the
Philippine Agricultural Scientist.
His specialization in the field of Crop
Physiology allowed him to publish
scientific journals, monographs, and
chapters in books that benefit
farmers, breeders, and scientists.
Moreover, private companies and farmers
consult his expertise in handling fruit
and ornamental crops such as mango and
dwarf mussaendas.
He has also led several experimental
studies. Together with his team, he has
produced a field assay for determining
ready-to-flower mangoes. This addressed
the long-standing need of mango growers
for a field assay that can indicate whether
a tree is ready to flower or not.
