Abstract

Standard laboratory soil testing is deemed to be expensive and time-consuming. Utilizing a soil test kit is considered to be a cost-efficient and time-saving way of soil testing. This project study aims to develop a prototype that detects soil parameters (i.e., soil pH, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) and gives crop and fertilizer recommendations after the soil sample has undergone a soil treatment test kit and its acceptability for possible users. The prototype development primarily used image processing to detect the needed parameters that lead to crop and fertilizer recommendations. In the evaluation of the effectiveness of the prototype, 50 trials were conducted per parameter. All of the said parameters were recorded as highly effective except for nitrogen Low, which is interpreted as effective only. There were 30 possible users invited to assess the acceptability of the prototype. A survey based on the technology acceptance model was administered to the 30 respondents garnering a 4.85 weighted mean interpreted as excellent. The prototype was proven effective and accepted as a device that can detect soil pH and primary macronutrient levels. It gives the appropriate crop and fertilizer recommendations based on the gathered data.

Abstract

Traditional academic research pathways in higher education institutions (HEIs) often emphasize publication and extension activities, while the utilization and commercialization of research outputs remain underdeveloped. This study aims to assess the institutional readiness, strategies, challenges, and success metrics related to research utilization and technology commercialization in state universities and colleges (SUCs), and to develop a framework to strengthen entrepreneurial and innovation-driven practices in HEIs. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining case study analysis with a survey of nine SUCs in the Bicol Region, Philippines. The survey instrument was developed through key informant interviews (KIIs) and focus group discussions (FGDs) with experts in technology transfer and intellectual property (IP) management, and demonstrated excellent reliability (Cronbach’s α=0.92). Results indicate that all participating SUCs have dedicated offices for IP management and technology transfer, reflecting a high level of institutional readiness. However, major challenges persist, including limited funding, weak industry linkages, gaps in IP policy implementation, and the absence of sustainable revolving funds. Success in commercialization is primarily measured through patent filings, licensing agreements, and revenue generation, with limited use of qualitative impact indicators. The study concludes that while SUCs exhibit strong structural readiness, strengthening policy coherence, funding mechanisms, industry collaboration, and commercialization culture is essential. The proposed framework provides a practical guide for enhancing research utilization and commercialization in HEIs.
