Catching Smarter: BPSU Fly Trap Device Demonstrated and Turned Over to Adoptees in TAC Signing Ceremony

The BPSU Technology Transfer Unit (TETU) and SINAG Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation (ATBI) conducted a Technology Demonstration and Technology Adoption Certificate (TAC) Signing Ceremony for the BPSU Fly Trap Device at the 2nd floor of the BSABE Building, BPSU-Abucay Campus, May 29.

Developed to enhance pest management effectiveness, the Fly Trap Device offers a non-toxic, low-cost alternative to chemical-based control methods. One of its key features is its ability to minimize human intervention—addressing former practices that required direct contact with both chemicals and flies, which posed health risks to handlers.

Engr. Davedsonn C. Fetalvero, faculty member, presented the research background and rationale behind the device, followed by a live demonstration led by Mr. Carl Joshua Isidro, BPSU researcher and developer of the technology, with SINAG ATBI incubatees in attendance as observers.

A TAC signing followed, confirming the adoption of the technology by Ms. Liezel Tanjutco, owner of Decy’s Food Products, and Mr. Emmanuel V. Luna, Director of Sunspear Farm. The six-month agreement allows them to use the device in real farm settings, provide feedback, and suggest possible improvements based on their experience.

This initiative supports the practical use and refinement of university-developed technologies, embodying BPSU’s commitment to advancing research that directly benefits local communities. It reflects the university’s vision of nurturing innovation and sustainable development while empowering stakeholders through science and technology.
