Bagi tujuan tersebut strategi yang diberi tumpuan adalah dengan memberi penekanan berterusan terhadap sains pendahulu dan termaju dan membangunkan inisiatif R&D bagi menghasilkan inovasi terancang mengikut keperluan pasaran.

Prestasi pencapaian penjanaan teknologi, diukur berdasarkan bilangan pencapaian teknologi berpotensi untuk kegunaan sektor pertanian dan industri asas tani.
Teknologi berpotensi untuk dikomersialkan merujuk kepada teknologi yang telah disaring dari segi kemantapan konsep (Proof of Concept - POC) iaitu pembuktian kebolehlaksanaan / kemunasabahan (feasibility) teknologi berkenaan dengan menggunakan kaedah tertentu seperti kajian feasibiliti ekonomi dan aliran tunai perniagaan.

The main goal of MARDI is to generate technology for the transformation of agriculture and agro-based industries.
For that purpose, a focused strategy is to emphasise on the precursors of advanced science and develop R&D initiatives to produce planned innovations according to market needs.

The performance of technology generation achievement is measured by the number of potential technology achievements for the use of the agriculture and agro-based industries.
Potential technologies for commercialisation refer to technologies that have been screened in terms of Proof of Concept (POC) that is, the proven feasibility of the technology by using certain methods such as the economic feasibility and business cash flow studies.
2 Laporan Tahunan dan Penyata Kewangan MARDI 2017 Memperkukuhkan Industri Padi dan Beras / Strengthening Paddy and Rice Industry Panel cap jari DNA bagi varieti komersial padi Penentuan dan pencirian tumbuhan berdasarkan ciri morfologi, produktiviti dan kualiti padi masih diguna pakai sehingga sekarang.

Walaupun kaedah ini masih berguna, namun ciri-ciri tersebut boleh dipengaruhi oleh faktor persekitaran seperti cuaca dan amalan pertanian.
Ciri morfologi bagi varieti yang sama mungkin berbeza sekiranya ditanam di persekitaran yang berbeza.

Ini boleh mengakibatkan pengenalpastian yang kurang tepat.

Tambahan pula, pengenalpastian berasaskan ciri-ciri ini sangat memakan masa kerana ahli genetik atau pembaik baka terpaksa menunggu sehingga pokok tersebut matang terlebih dahulu sebelum dapat mengukur ciri morfologinya.

Bagi mengatasi masalah ini, pengenalpastian berasaskan DNA dibangunkan dan teknik ini dikenali sebagai cap jari DNA.
Cap jari DNA berasaskan variasi wujud dalam jujukan DNA.

MARDI telah membangunkan cap jari DNA bagi varieti komersial padi seperti MR220-CL1, MR220- CL2, MR269 dan banyak lagi.

Melalui kaedah ini, panel SNP yang mengandungi 58 penanda SNP telah divalidasi ke atas benih asas dan benih baka.

Proses validasi menunjukkan kesemua varieti komersial padi dapat dibezakan antara satu sama lain.
Bagi penanda dCAPS pula, 13 penanda dCAPS yang dibangunkan telah divalidasi ke atas sepuluh varieti padi komersial yang telah diisytiharkan termasuklah MARDI Siraj 297, MR284 dan MR220-CL2.

Hasil analisis menunjukkan setiap varieti komersial padi mempunyai sekurang- kurangnya satu penanda CAPS/dCAPS yang unik.

Bagi penanda SSR, genetik profil bagi varieti padi yang diisytiharkan di Malaysia menggunakan 20 penanda molekul SSR telah berjaya dibangunkan.
Penanda molekul yang terdiri daripada 10 penanda unik dan 15 panel penanda telah dikenal pasti dapat membezakan kesemua varieti yang dikaji kecuali MR220 dan MR219 di mana keduanya merupakan titisan beradik (sister line).

Pakej pembajaan varieti padi spesialti Pembangunan pakej pembajaan varieti padi warna baharu merupakan salah satu aspek yang penting bagi meningkatkan hasil pengeluaran padi secara maksimum dengan pembajaan yang optimum.
Peningkatan harga bahan input terutama baja dan kenaikan kos tenaga pada masa kini memerlukan penggunaan baja yang optimum bagi mengelakkan berlakunya pembaziran.

Pengurusan baja amat DNA fingerprinting panels for commercial rice varieties Determination and characterisation of plants based on morphological characteristics, productivity and rice quality is still used until now.
Even though this method is still useful, it can still be affected by environmental factors such as weather and agricultural practices.

Morphological characteristics of the same variety may differ if planted in different environments.

This may result in inaccurate identification.

Furthermore, identification based on these features is very time consuming because geneticists or breeders have to wait until the tree is mature before they can measure its morphological features.
To overcome this problem, DNA-based identification was developed and this technique is known as DNA fingerprinting.

Variation based DNA fingerprints exist in DNA sequences.

MARDI has developed DNA fingerprints for commercial rice varieties such as MR220-CL1, MR220-CL2, MR269 and more.

Using this method, SNP panels containing 58 SNP markers have been validated on original seeds and seeds for breeding purposes.
The validation process showed that all commercial rice varieties could be distinguished from each other.

Whereas for 13 dCAPS markers developed, all have been validated on ten declared commercial rice varieties including MARDI Siraj 297, MR284 and MR220-CL2.The results of the analysis showed that each of the commercial rice varieties had at least one unique CAPS/dCAPS marker.
For SSR markers, 20 SSR molecular markers have been successfully developed and used to declare the genetic profiles of rice varieties in Malaysia.

Molecular markers consisting of 10 unique markers and 15 panel markers have been identified to distinguish all the varieties studied except MR220 and MR219 both of which belong to sister lines.
Specialised paddy fertilization package The development of newly coloured paddy fermentation package is one of the important aspects to increase the yield of paddy to a maximum with optimal tempering.

The increase in input material costs especially for fertilizers and current rising energy costs requires optimum use of fertilizers to avoid wastage.
Management of fertilizers is crucial for maintaining and improving soil fertility, as excessive use of fertilizers can cause soil to become toxic and attract diseases and pests.

The N and K rates for selective coloured rice will be evaluated to identify the MARDI’s 2017 Annual Report and Financial Statement 3 optimum rate of fertilization that affects the antioxidant and phenolic contents and good yield performance.
The results of research on the development of special rice fertilization package found that: i.

Rice yields of MARDI Wangi 74 variety increased at a rate of 120 kg/ha and decreased at a rate of 160 kg/ha for both seasons tested.

ii.

Rice yields of MARDI Wangi 88 variety were found to increase up to a rate of 160 kg/ha N. iii.

Critical periods of weed control for paddy planted with shrubs are shorter than paddy planted with direct pads.

iv.
iv.

The critical duration of weed control for all three varieties of Q91, 101 and 102 varies depending on the nature of the tree, including the maturity, height, biological properties and other ecology.

v. Screening for weeds tolerant to pesticides in commercial MARDI Wangi 88 plots in Kg.

Alor Sekawan, Kota Sarang Semut and Kuala Nerang showed that there were no weeds that were tolerant to Propanile, 2,4-D and sulphuronurea.
Yield monitoring system on the combined harvester This system is mounted on the combined harvester to map the harvest yield.

It is mobile, easy to install on any combined harvester and includes sensors, control systems and monitoring.

The resulting map will be reproduced to determine the actual harvest yield of the area.

The results of the study found that this system was able to make estimates of the results up to 89% accuracy.
This precision can still be improved through calibration improvements for the coming seasons so that it can be improved to 90 – 95% accuracy.

penting untuk mengekal dan meningkatkan kesuburan tanah, kerana penggunaan baja yang berlebihan boleh menyebabkan tanah menjadi toksik serta menggalakkan kehadiran penyakit dan perosak.

Kadar N dan K untuk padi warna terpilih akan dinilai bagi mengenal pasti kadar optimum pembajaan yang mempengaruhi nilai antioksida dan fenolik serta prestasi hasil yang baik.
Hasil penyelidikan pembangunan pakej pembajaan varieti padi spesialti mendapati: i. Hasil padi varieti MARDI Wangi 74 meningkat pada kadar N sebanyak 120 kg/ha dan menurun pada kadar 160 kg/ha bagi kedua- dua musim diuji.

ii.

Hasil padi varieti MARDI Wangi 88 didapati meningkat sehingga kadar N sebanyak 160 kg/ha.

iii.

Tempoh kritikal kawalan rumpai bagi padi yang ditanam secara mencedung adalah lebih singkat berbanding dengan padi yang ditanam secara tabur terus.

iv.
iv.

Tempoh kritikal kawalan rumpai bagi ketiga- tiga varieti Q91, 101 dan 102 adalah berbeza bergantung kepada sifat pokok, termasuk tempoh matang, ketinggian dan sifat biologi serta tekologi lain.

v. Penyaringan rumpai rintang racun di kawasan plot komersial MARDI Wangi 88 di Kg.

Alor Sekawan, Kota Sarang Semut dan Kuala Nerang menunjukkan tiada rumpai yang telah rintang kepada racun Propanil, 2,4-D dan sulfuronurea.
Sistem pemantauan hasil pada jentuai Sistem ini dipasang pada jentuai untuk membuat pemetaan hasil tuaian.

Sistem ini bersifat mobile dan mudah untuk dipasang pada mana-mana jentuai.

Semasa penyimpanan DCA, konsentrasi kandungan oksigen akan direndahkan sehingga ke tahap minimum anaerobic compensation point (ACP) sehingga respirasi metabolisme buah bertukar daripada aerobik kepada anaerobik.

Selepas kandungan kritikal oksigen dicapai, konsentrasi oksigen akan dikawal secara automatik atau secara manual untuk memulihkan keadaan penyimpanan yang optimum dalam chamber.
Kandungan kritikal oksigen bagi setiap buah adalah berbeza dan ditentukan dengan mengkaji respons fisiologi buah semasa penyimpanan pada tahap stress oksigen yang rendah.

Buah belimbing merupakan salah satu buah-buahan yang dikaji menggunakan sistem DCA.

Belimbing B10 menunjukkan respons yang sangat positif terhadap penyimpanan DCA.
Berdasarkan kualiti fizikal, belimbing B10 dapat disimpan sehingga sembilan minggu dalam penyimpanan DCA (Trt C: 1.6% O2; 3.2% CO2), berbanding hanya enam minggu dalam penyimpanan DCA statik, manakala lima minggu dalam rawatan kawalan iaitu persekitaran normal.

Teknik manipulasi suhu untuk pemanjangan hayat simpanan nangka Suhu penyimpanan optimum bagi nangka adalah pada suhu 14 °C bagi tempoh seminggu.
Jika buah nangka disimpan lama daripada tempoh tersebut, buah akan mula menjalani proses pemasakan dan kulit menjadi lembut dan senang dijangkiti oleh kulat.

Tempoh penyimpanan yang pendek ini menyebabkan buah nangka mengalami kerosakan kualiti dan kehilangan lepas tuai yang tidak dapat dielakkan.

Secara umum, penyimpanan pada suhu rendah dapat mengatasi masalah kerosakan kualiti buah yang disebabkan oleh penyakit dan melambatkan pemasakan buah.
Akan tetapi, kebanyakan buah-buahan tropikal akan mengalami kecederaan sejuk dingin jika disimpan pada suhu kurang daripada 10 °C.
Buah nangka yang disimpan pada suhu kurang daripada 10 °C mengalami kecederaan sejuk dingin yang amat ketara pada kulit iaitu kesan pemerangan (browning) pada kulit dan Dynamic CA/MA storage technique for starfruit The Dynamic Controlled Atmosphere or better known as DCA is an optimum storage technique for the extension of storage periods and preventing fruit physiology disorders.
During DCA storage, the concentration of oxygen content will be lowered to a minimum anaerobic compensation point (ACP) until the fruit metabolic respiration changes from aerobic to anaerobic.

After the critical oxygen content has been achieved, the oxygen concentration will be controlled automatically or manually to restore optimum storage conditions in the chamber.
The critical oxygen content for each fruit is different and is determined by studying the physiological response of the fruit during storage at a low oxygen stress level.

Starfruit is one of the fruits studied using the DCA system.

B10 starfruit has a very positive response to DCA storage.
Based on the physical quality, starfruit B10 can be stored for up to nine weeks in DCA storage (Trt C: 1.6% O2; 3.2% CO2), compared to only six weeks in static DCA storage, while five weeks in control treatment is a normal environment.

Temperature manipulation techniques for lengthening the shelf life of jackfruit The optimum storage temperature for jackfruit is at 14 °C for a week.
If the jackfruit is stored for longer than one week, the fruit will start the ripening process and the skin becomes soft and easily infected by the fungus.

This short shelf life causes the jackfruit to experience quality damage and unavoidable post- harvest loss.

In general, storage at low temperatures can overcome the problem of fruit quality damage caused by diseases which can delay fruit ripening.

However, most tropical fruits will suffer from cold shock if stored at temperatures below 10 °C.
The jackfruit stored at temperatures below 10 °C will undergo cold shock injury on the skin i.e.

browning effect on the skin and inhibits the ripening of the fruit when stored at room temperature.

Temperature manipulation studies (temperature preconditioning) have proven to prolong fruit storage and quality retention in avocado, grapefruit, chilli and pineapple.
This temperature manipulation study was carried out by first storing the fruits at a high temperature (critical chilling point) for a period of time before transferring them to a much lower temperature in stages.
28 Laporan Tahunan dan Penyata Kewangan MARDI 2017 Papaya quarantine treatment technology for export This study was conducted to obtain an appropriate and effective irradiation treatment on fruit flies on Sekaki papaya for export development to meet international phytosanitary requirements and to determine the effect of the treatment on fruit quality.

Studies showed that the eggs are most susceptible and the pupae is the most tolerant.
The 100Gy dosage results in the larval stage failing to grow to adulthood compared to the pupae.

The 100Gy dosage is the minimum that can lead to infertility in adult males and females because it reduces the fertility rate of the female flies and no eggs can be produced.
Quarantine treatment of Chokanan mangoes for export market Quarantine treatment is seen as a very important method to prevent the spread of pesticides related to commodities intended for export to importing countries where there are no pests or their presence is controlled.
To counteract this trade barrier, heat treatment (VHT) has been identified as an appropriate post-harvest quarantine treatment that is used to allow the export of tropical fruits to markets that have quarantine regulations particularly against fruit flies.

A related insect taxonomy used in the study of disinfection is identified as Bactrocera dorsalis.

For the most tolerant stage of the flies, the study found that eggs are the most susceptible and pupae the most tolerant.
A temperature of 46.5 °C results in the failure of the larval stage to grow to adulthood compared to the pupae.

merencatkan pemasakan buah apabila disimpan pada suhu bilik.

Kajian manipulasi suhu (prakondisi suhu) terbukti dapat memanjangkan tempoh penyimpanan buah dan pengekalan kualiti seperti avokado, grapefruit, cili dan nanas.
Kajian manipulasi suhu ini dilakukan dengan menyimpan buah pada suhu yang tinggi (critical chilling point) untuk suatu tempoh sebelum dipindahkan kepada suhu yang lebih rendah secara berperingkat.

Teknologi rawatan kuarantin betik untuk eksport Kajian dijalankan bagi mendapatkan kaedah rawatan iradiasi yang bersesuaian dan berkesan ke atas lalat buah pada betik Sekaki untuk pengeksportan dibangunkan bagi memenuhi keperluan fitosanitasi antarabangsa serta menentukan kesan rawatan ke atas kualiti buah.
Kajian menunjukkan telur merupakan peringkat paling susceptible dan pupae paling toleran.

Dos 100Gy mengakibatkan peringkat larva gagal berkembang ke peringkat dewasa berbanding pupae.

Dos 100Gy adalah paling minimum yang boleh mengakibatkan kemandulan pada dewasa jantan dan betina kerana dapat mengurangkan kadar kesuburan lalat betina dan tiada telur dapat dihasilkan.
Rawatan kuarantin bagi mangga Chokanan untuk pasaran eksport Rawatan kuarantin dilihat sebagai satu kaedah yang sangat penting untuk menghalang penyebaran serangga perosak yang berkaitan dengan komoditi yang ingin dieksport ke negara pengimport di mana tiada perosak atau kehadirannya dikawal.
Bagi mengatasi sekatan dagangan ini, rawatan haba panas (VHT) telah dikenal pasti sebagai rawatan kuarantin lepas tuai yang sesuai digunakan untuk membenarkan eksport buah-buahan tropika ke pasaran yang mempunyai peraturan kuarantin khususnya terhadap lalat buah.

Taksonomi serangga berkaitan yang digunakan dalam kajian disinfestasi dikenal pasti ialah Bactrocera dorsalis.

Bagi peringkat umur lalat yang paling toleran kajian mendapati telur merupakan peringkat paling susceptible dan pupae paling toleran.
Suhu 46.5 °C mengakibatkan peringkat larvae gagal berkembang ke peringkat dewasa berbanding pupae.

KPI pengeluaran benih asas padi bertujuan memenuhi keperluan untuk pengeluaran padi berkualiti dan hasil tinggi dalam industri beras negara.

Penentuan sasaran bagi pengeluaran benih asas padi adalah berasaskan kepada pertumbuhan permintaan oleh industri.

Pada tahun 2017, sejumlah 170 tan metrik benih asas padi berjaya dihasilkan bagi kegunaan industri padi negara.

Pengeluaran benih boleh dibahagi kepada 4 fasa iaitu benih baka, benih asas, benih daftar dan benih sah.
Benih baka adalah benih yang dihasilkan daripada aktiviti penyelidikan.

Benih baka ini akan digandakan sebagai benih asas yang dipindahkan kepada syarikat-syarikat pengeluar benih yang dilantik Kementerian Pertanian & Industri Asas Tani.

Proses pengeluaran benih asas padi merupakan satu proses yang telah dipersijilkan dengan pengiktirafan MS ISO 9000 bagi memastikan biji benih yang dikeluarkan adalah berkualiti dan memenuhi standard kawalan pengeluaran benih.
This selection of KPIs is in line with the focus to ensure the support of one of the important national security commodities i.e.

rice which always reaches the set SSL.

The KPI’s basic seed production is aimed at meeting the need for high quality and high yielding rice production in the country’s rice industry.

Target setting for paddy seed production is based on demand growth by industry.
In 2017, a total of 170 tonnes of paddy seeds were successfully produced for the use of the country’s paddy industry.

Seed production can be divided into 4 phases namely, seed breeds, base seeds, registered and certified seeds.

Seed breeds are seeds produced from research activities.

These seed breeds will be multiplied as the base seed that is transferred to the seed producing companies appointed by the Ministry of Agriculture & Agro-based Industry.
The process of producing paddy seedlings is a process that has been certified with the MS ISO 9000 certification to ensure that the seeds produced are of high quality and meets the standard seed production contro Breeder Seed Foundation Seed Registration Seed Certified Seed Rajah 9: Peringkat penghasilan benih padi negara Figure 9: Nation’s paddy foundation seed production stage 42 Laporan Tahunan dan Penyata Kewangan MARDI 2017 MRQ 74 2% Siraj 297 31% 170 tan metrik MRQ 88 1% MR 219 12% MR 220 CL 28% MR 284 1% MR 269 4% MR 263 21% Rajah 10: Pecahan penghasilan benih asas mengikut varieti Figure 10: Distribution of foundation seed production based on varieties MARDI’s 2017 Annual Report and Financial Statement 43 Pembangunan Teknopreneur Technopreneur Development Perindustrian Kecil Sederhana (PKS) merupakan sumber pertumbuhan ekonomi yang penting dan akan terus memainkan peranan utama dalam pembangunan ekonomi Malaysia seiring dengan langkah untuk menjadi sebuah negara berpendapatan tinggi pada tahun 2020.
Berdasarkan keadaan semasa kebanyakan PKS masih tidak mampu untuk memiliki teknologi dan menghasilkan inovasi dengan sendiri.

Sehubungan dengan itu, Kementerian Pertanian dan Industri Asas Tani (MOA) telah memberi tanggungjawab kepada MARDI bagi melaksanakan R&D dan pemindahan teknologi.

Teknologi dan inovasi baru yang dicipta perlu dipindahkan kepada PKS dengan berkesan agar ia dapat digunakan dan dimanfaatkan sepenuhnya.
MARDI memindahkan teknologi dan inovasi secara terus kepada PKS melalui Program Pembangunan Usahawan.

Khidmat nasihat teknikal dan bimbingan yang diberikan kepada usahawan merupakan salah satu medium penyampaian dan pemindahan teknologi yang berkesan dan cepat.

Kumpulan usahawan yang menerima perkhidmatan bimbingan MARDI ini dikenali sebagai usahawan-tekno atau teknopreneur.
Teknopreneur di dalam lingkungan umur di antara 18 – 40 tahun pula dikelaskan sebagai Agropreneur Muda yang menerima manfaat khusus melalui program yang sedikit berbeza dengan teknopreneur biasa.

Pada tahun 2017, MARDI berjaya membangunkan 233 agropreneur muda dan 62 teknopreneur baharu di bawah Program Pembangunan Usahawan MARDI.
Small Medium Industries (SMEs) are an important source of economic growth and will continue to play a major role in the development of the Malaysian economy in line with the move to become a high- income nation by 2020.

Based on the current circumstances, most PKS still cannot afford to own technology and produce innovation on their own.

In this regard, the Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry (MOA) has given MARDI the responsibility for implementing R&D and technology transfer.
New technologies and innovations created need to be transferred to SMEs effectively so that they can be used and be fully utilised.

MARDI transfers technologies and innovations directly to SMEs through the Entrepreneur Development Programme.

The technical advice service and guidance provided to the entrepreneurs is one of the fastest and most effective medium of technology transfer.

The group of entrepreneurs receiving MARDI’s services is known as technopreneurs.
Technopreneurs between 18 and 40 years old are classified as young agropreneurs who receive special benefits through a slightly different programme from the regular technopreneurs.

In 2017, MARDI successfully developed 233 young agropreneurs and 62 new technopreneurs under the MARDI Entrepreneur Development Programme.

Among the strategies for transforming the national agricultural and food sectors include promoting private sector participation, enhancing R&D and commercialising R&D findings and this is the roadmap towards modernisation of these sectors.
The need to develop the Model Farms technology in the field of agriculture and food has now increased following the convergence of the government to strengthen the entrepreneurship development programme and national food security.

The introduction of the Model Farm concept to a group of farmers is expected to accelerate the transformation process and promote the technology produced by MARDI.
This method is also capable of producing modern, committed and viable farmers and growers in line with the government’s aspiration of placing the agricultural sector as the third engine of the national economy generation.

Model Farms are also used to hold hands-on training on agricultural technology to target groups to provide exposure on practical experience by providing them complete guidelines on the use of fertigation technology for selected vegetables and fruits.
This training is often welcomed in terms of encouraging participation whenever it is organised throughout Malaysia including Sabah and Sarawak.

In 2017, a total of 17 activities were conducted and 588 entrepreneurs and farmers benefited from the training programmes at the Model Farm.

The park was open to the public as a tourism product aimed at exposing the public to the use of modern technology in the Malaysian agriculture industry.

It is here that the various commercially characterised fruit farms were introduced.
There are over 20 types of fruit trees here and among them are the starfruit, mango, jackfruit, pommelo, pineapple, pitaya and many more.

Visitors who visit here have the opportunity to visit and pick their own fruits.

The number of visitors to TAML in 2017 was 91,623.

Cameron Highlands MARDI (TAMCH) Agrotechnology Park Historically, this park located just 700 m away from Tanah Rata town is about 40 hectares in area and is a Federal Research Station developed by the British Government in 1925.
MARDI took over the park in 1972 and made it the centre of highland agricultural research and development (R&D) activities as well as the location for transferring and commercialisation of technology.

With the theme of Sustainable Agriculture Centre, this park promises more than just a farming park, instead as a centre of learning, education and environmental conservation related to highland agriculture, especially to the civil society of the country.
Covering 12.03 hectares, there are 28 parks that can be visited starting with floral gardens, english accommodation houses, strawberry farms, tea plantations, tea mills, fertigation plots, sales centres and souvenirs.

The number of visitors to TACH in 2017 was 405,518.
