By Office of the University President | April 27, 2026 |

Cagayan State University (CSU) and the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) formalized a research partnership through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to implement a DOST-funded project on the taxonomic assessment and exploration of native true hoppers (Auchenorrhyncha) for conservation and agriculture.

The agreement supports the project titled “TAXON Auchenorrhyncha: Taxonomic Assessment and Exploration of Native True Hoppers (Auchenorrhyncha) for Conservation and Agriculture,” funded by the Department of Science and Technology – National Research Council of the Philippines (DOST-NRCP).

UPLB will spearhead the project through its Institute of Weed Science, Entomology and Plant Pathology, while CSU Piat, through the College of Agriculture, will serve as a key collaborating institution and will facilitate field surveys, provide research spaces, and assist in specimen collection and regulatory compliance.

Set to run until October 2027, the project is expected to contribute to national research priorities in agriculture, environmental sustainability, and scientific innovation.
