Analytical Service Laboratories Implementation of full cost recovery scheme
Under the direction of the DDGR, ASL, in collaboration with the Finance Unit and DDGR consultant Tsung-Wei Lai, initiated the whole full cost recovery (FCR) process in February. A review of ASLs current operations and practices was used to estimate the units full operational costs. The new fees for ASL services were computed using activity-based costing principles in the FCR model (developed by Ms. Lai) and comparison with market prices (ASL Fig. 1). by the DDGR and Ms. Lai to IRRI clients on 20 Dec 2012 with stepwise price adjustments to be made to achieve FCR within the next 5 years. It also includes facility rental charges for sample preparation and other nonroutine services of ASL.
ASL Figure 3 shows that the bulk of completed analyses came from CESD (77%) and PBGB (14%) where multielement analysis by ICP-OES was most requested. Other assays, such as Kjeldahl N, ammonium and nitrate analysis and total N in waters, and C-13 in plants were frequently requested by IRRI customers.

Version 1 of the Statistical Tool for Agricultural Research (STAR) was released. STAR is being developed using R (for computation) and Java (for user interface). It has functions for data manipulation, generating randomization according to commonly used experimental designs, analyzing data from designed experiments, and conducting t-test, Chi-square test, and simple correlation and regression. It has been used in a few invited training courses conducted in the Philippines and overseas. Version 1 of the Quantitative Plant Improvement Tool (QPIT) was released. QPIT is being developed using R (for computation) and Java (for user interface). It has functions for data manipulation, analyzing single- and multisite breeding trials using fixed and mixed models, conducting linkage mapping using biparental populations, estimating genetic parameters using common mating designs, and constructing selection indexes, including the index for marker-assisted selection. Version 1 of FieldLab was released. FieldLab is a tool for data collection using mobile devices. It has been adopted by IRRI breeders and GCP IBP collaborating breeders. The Data Management and Analysis System (DMAS) is being developed. It is a web-based tool for data management and analysis. The ultimate goal is the development of an integrated and user-friendly system for plant breeders and geneticists. Currently, this tool has functions for querying ICIS DMS, detecting population
structure using parametric and nonparametric methods, and conducting association analysis using linear and linear mixed models, taking genetic relationship and population structure into account.
Population improvement
Three 8-parent base populations were developed by hand pollination. Two thousand S1 families are being tested. More than 4000 selected S0 plants were advanced through single seed descent. Seventy selected elite indica lines from IRRI and other institutes are being converted into male sterile lines. Thirty are in the BC2 stage; the rest are in BC1. The nuclear male sterile gene of an IR36 mutant line was fine-mapped.
Staff training
ASL staff participated in the following technical and safety training courses: Basic occupational safety and health training San ++ equipment method development and routine analysis Chemical safety training Proper use of fume hoods and handling chemical spills Other technical training attended by selected ASL staff included the San ++ equipment training in Breda, The Netherlands, in January (M.

Recognizing that an Internet footprint cannot alone be done by its institutional Web site, IRRI is reaching out to and engaging with its stakeholders and beneficiaries using social media channels and social network sites via online platforms and devices when applicable. For media assets and publications, we are using Google Books (446 publications uploaded with more than 1,592,504 title views, with nearly 17.2 million page views across these titles) Flickr (61,599 images uploaded with nearly 3 million total views; 1,200 average daily views) YouTube (to date, nearly 600 videos uploaded with more than 750,000 total views) Scribd (1,392 publications uploaded with 589,552 total views) Soundcloud or IRRI Radio (1,252 total listens). The top three listener countries are the Philippines, the United States, and India. New IRRI.ORG strategy Enhancements to the Web site were initiated in 2012; these cover both content of the site and the system that runs it. Deeper, more technical and peripheral/supporting information that used to be in the IRRI Web site will now be housed in separate and more content-type-appropriate platforms, all of which make up the IRRI Web system. A prototype was presented to various levels of management and IRRI stakeholders and was subsequently approved in line with managements goal to make IRRIs Web presence donor-friendly. To be launched in 2013, the new IRRI.ORG site will focus more on IRRIs success stories. IRRI.ORG statistics Visits to the site in 2012 were 639,739, an average of about 1,752 visits per day for the year. Of these, there were 1.6 million page views, averaging 2.5 pages per visit. Each visit lasted an average of 2.42 minutes. Demographics. Visitors to the site came from 215 states, countries, or territories. The sites global reach is dominated by Asia: South Asia, Southeast Asia, then followed by North America, Eastern Asia, and Western Europe. India, the Philippines, and the United States, in that order, continue to be the top three countries accessing the site. Combined, the Asian continent accounted for 66% of all visits. Search and how visitors find us. Traffic to the site that came from search engines came mostly from South and Southeast Asia. India, the Philippines, together with Pakistan and Bangladesh, accounted for 44.5% of search traffic. There was a growing number of search from Turkey and Egypt, combined at 7%. The number of visitors from these countries was negligible in previous years. The United States and the United Kingdom combined accounted for 8.7% of search traffic. Overall, sources and medium of traffic came from search engines dominated by Google, which sent 65.77% of total traffic. Referrals from other sites, such as social networks, crept into the analytics radar, contributing 1.42%of overall traffic in 2012. Devices and what visitors use to access the site. A growing number of mobile devices are accessing the site. From less than 1% in 2011, it grew to 2.5% this year.
Communication support
CPS provides communication support for the entire Institute, including editing, graphic design, art and illustration, audio-visual, photography, video, and printing. For example, in 2012, 61,599 new digital photographs were produced, 35 video programs were produced, and 15 shorter clips were provided for the Bulletin (IRRIs weekly newsletter for staff, BOT, and alumni) and PowerPoint presentations. Also, in 2012, graphic artists produced 80 illustrations, laid out 2,679 pages for publications, and prepared and printed 336 posters on the CPS largeformat printer. IRRI editors worked on more than 3,000 pages for refereed journal articles, more than 1,100 pages appearing in IRRIs scientific books, plus 17 pages for the International Rice Research Notes, four issues each of Rice Today, three issues of RIPPLE, and nearly 3,900 pages of additional conference papers, abstracts, proposals, posters, donor reports, concept notes, press releases, and other items.
Experiment Station
The Experiment Station continued its journey to supply quality, timely, and efficient service to researchers at IRRI.

Field activities
The total area of research plots exceeded 250 ha for the first time in recent memory. The area of production rice declined to less than 40 ha. Registered seed production began in the dry season of 2013, with 5 ha planted to varieties Rc238, Rc240, and Rc18.
Surveying
A complete electromagnetic soil survey of ES was conducted in May 2012. This identifies the variation in soil characteristics across ES, with fine spatial resolution. Further work will be done in 2013 to refine this survey and make it freely available to IRRI researchers. A digital topographical survey was completed, locating all boundaries and features to within 23 cm.
in the lowland. It also carries the precision-monitoring equipment in the first stage of development of the high-throughput phenotyping method.
Infrastructure
The first stage of pollen barriers was erected in the MN series to allow the hybrid program to better use the area. The first drainage-recycling pipeline was installed in the G series, conveying water back to the H series reservoir. The first drainage inlets were manufactured and installed in the M series, allowing easier and more precise drainage control, particularly better retention of rainfall events. The major arterial roads were stabilized, making them smoother and requiring much lower maintenance than before. The installation of wide bunds continued, but an alternate approach, a dedicated laneway that is a little elevated above the field, looms as more applicable, given the limited soil available to build the wide bunds. Finally, all ES staffin Crop Production, Field Maintenance, Mechanical Shop, Bioenvironment, Rice Mill, and Administrationhave continued to work hard to service the wide range of requirements of researchers and visitors. Given the improvement projects under way, much of the year was spent under time pressure of varying descriptions. All have responded admirably to the challenges as they came and dealt with all of them as promptly, courteously, and efficiently as possible. It is a pleasure to work with such staff. 4 of 24
Personnel
Both researchers and importantly contract workers now have the ability to choose between two different providers of manual laborTOP GEM and AsiaPro. In future, this will give researchers the ability to choose a provider based on the cost and level of service they provide, and workers can choose according to the work pay and conditions that each provider offers. Sixteen ES staff chose to take advantage of a targeted separation package, leaving ES in December. Recruitment to fill up some of these positions is under way.
Equipment
A precision plot seeder was acquired in 2012 and completed its first seeding season in the dry season of 2013. One of the tractors (John Deere 6830) was fitted with GPS autosteer to better guide pesticide application and achieve precision monitoring for high-throughput phenotyping, particularly seeding operations. A small head-feeding combine was acquired and put through the first stage of alterations and testing to become a medium-grade plot combine for breeding programs and agronomic research. Subsequent stages will seek to make it a highgrade plot combine. Two walk-behind transplanters were acquired; they have completed their first season of transplanting in the dry season of 2013. The Duncan seeder was refitted with single disc openers to seed rice, maize, or other crops at a precise soil depth in cultivated or uncultivated soil. The 26-m-wide boom has gradually exerted more of an influence, with pesticide application in the upland, on wide bunds, and dedicated laneways
Training
Three Mechanical Shop staff spent 2 wk at Tractorco in Bacolod, Negros, upgrading their skills in tractor reconditioning, general mechanics, and workshop practice. Fourteen ES staff (plus four staff from PBGB and one from GRC) completed training in seed production and are now certified seed growers by the Bureau of Plant Industry-National Seed Quality and Control Services of the Department of Agriculture.
Library and Documentation Service

The IRRI Library and Documentation Service (LDS) continued to make changes for the better. The year was dominated by the weeding project and digitization activitiesthe goal is to withdraw as many duplicate materials that are no longer of use while at the same time digitize the rice collection and the archives. The weeding project is a continuous effort to free up space needed for renovation slated in 2013. The archives project, which involves more than 2 million pages of archival materials, is near completion. We have lost staff but we got new people after LDS was merged with Information Technology Services under the direction of the new chief information officer. In addition to providing general services (LDS Table 1), we are constantly experimenting with new services and resources, most significantly for the future, which will lead to improved library services, resources, and processes.

in 2012. The outdated materials were donated to other libraries and the rest converted into electronic formats. In the middle of the year, the Library also managed to subscribe to two new journal titles based on current demand by staff. JStor, the social science database, was also added to the Librarys list of electronic databases.
Circulation
The Library saw a total of 2,686 patron visits during the year. Book loans were provided to staff (3, 775, slightly lower than last years 4,208). Eighty-nine new library users registered in 2012. The Library has changed its policy of charging fines for overdue materials. This meant that Library clients will no longer pay any penalty for not returning or renewing materials on time. Part of the library service then is the provision of a photocopying machine for users. This service was replaced by a scan-to-email procedure wherein clients will have articles in electronic format forwarded to their email addresses. There were 224 users who availed of this service.
Library collection
The Library is still well used by IRRI staff and other clients who access a huge range of journals, books, and other materials in both print and electronic formats. Five hundred and six new books in print and electronic formats were added to the Library collection (through purchase or subscriptions). An additional 26 rice theses were acquired, bringing the total to 5,774 titles. Also added to the catalog were 28 free electronic journals, smaller than last years 59 new titles; the total number of free e-journals reached 1,928.
Interlibrary loans and document delivery

The Rice Bibliography staff have indexed and added 7,987 new rice articles to the rice database: the entire rice article collection now stands at 285,028 titles. Moreover, the unit managed to link 5,326 pdf and downloaded 6,301 rice articles from journal subscriptions and other free resources online. The AV Learning Center, which used to house the LDS audio-visual collections, was discontinued A total of 670 documents were requested by IRRI staff and researchers. Most of the articles were obtained from the Librarys own holdings, whereas the rest came from other libraries in the CG and from authors themselves. Majority of the requests were fulfilled within a day; in other instances, it took 1 to 3 days at most. The Library also fulfilled a total of 584 document requests from CGIAR libraries and other countries. 5 of 24
Visitors
The Library had 22 orientation tours for a total of 197 visitors for the year. These included newly hired staff, scholars, trainees, and students from other institutions. They were briefed on library resources, services, and facilities. The Library Web site also received 18,976 page views with 3,318 unique visitors in 2012.

Special projects
Digitization As part of the Librarys digitization project, selected personnel were tapped to handle the scanning of rice theses and articles from various journals. For 2012, 465 thesis titles and 4,763 articles from journals were scanned. Already linked, these were made available in the Library catalog and rice database. The IRRI archive In July 2012, the IRRI archive was formally turned over to the Library from the Procurement and Materials Management Services. Under this project, more than 2 million pages of IRRI documents have been scanned.
Knowledge management Electronic record management Supervisory training Effective presentation skills Information security management system
Book donations
As part of IRRIs outreach project and in coordination with HCCRO, the Library has donated 150 boxes of duplicate books and journals to other institutions. The Cavite State University, the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao, and the Bicol State University were some of the recipients.
Staff training
The rapid development in the information industry requires library staff to continuously upgrade and update their knowledge and skills. To ensure this, Library staff regularly participated in training courses such as the following: irri.org Microsoft Office 2010 training
Grain Quality and Nutrition Center

Quality evaluation services
Completed quality data for 12,192 samples from 2011 backlog plus 33,201 samples submitted
in 2012, resulting in a total of 45,393 samples analyzed in 2012. A recovery of $215,676 from a total of 130,499 analyses for 2012. Rice quality evaluation included milling potential score, head rice yield, physical characteristics by the Cervitec 1625 Grain Inspector (% whole/broken grains, degree of chalkiness, grain length and width), gelatinization temperature, amylose content, gel consistency, viscosity measurements using the Rapid Visco Analyzer, and aroma by gas chromatography. Conducted one-on-one training on rice quality evaluation techniques for 1. Ms. Yap Yun Ci of Sime Darby Group (29-30 Mar 2012) 2. Ms. Shahara Anderson of Rice Technology Solutions (21-25 May 2012) 3.

Development of the IRRI laboratory information management system (LIMS)

The project started in June 2012 and is scheduled to be completed in March 2013. Included in the project are MMAL, RTL, GQNC, and SHU. The core group, which is headed by Dr. Mike Thomson, is composed of Maria Ymber Reveche, Norman Oliva, Manfred Cardenas, and Roslen Anacleto. Collaboration also extends to GRC, represented by Dr. Ruraidh Sackville-Hamilton and Grace Capilit, specifically for the material transfer workflow and record keeping, and with the PBGB data management group, represented by Mylah Rystie Anacleto for IRIS documentation.
Research activities
Studies to understand factors affecting in vitro bioavailability of minerals in rice were completed. Feeding trials were conducted in collaboration with Dr. Julie Pua-Ferraz and Dr. Divina Christy Redondo. Both medical doctors specialize in the management of diabetic patients. Three varieties of rice supplied by IRRI were used to test the impact of glycemic index on blood sugar status of Filipino participants with and without Type II diabetes. An IRRI sensory panel of 25 has been established. The panelists have participated in several competency-based tasting activities as part of the screening process and are capable of conducting discrimination testing. This means that they can now differentiate various rice samples from each other. They will undergo further training to be able to perform descriptive profiling of rice samples, which allows for further exploration of rice quality traits.
The association between cooking and sensory properties of rice and the alleles of the Waxy gene in a geographically diverse set of rice germplasm from GRC was investigated. Texture profiling using the texture analyzer (TA. XT-plus) was conducted on freshly cooked and retrograded rice grains from two sample sets: (1) 218 lines coming from a population derived from two rice varieties with very distinct eating properties and (2) around 160 rice samples selected by GRC based on geographic and genetic diversity. The rare fragrance allele in fragrant rice varieties has been identified. The amount of a major aromatic compound, 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline, was measured by gas chromatography in an advanced population of inbred lines.
Riceworld Museum and Learning Center

The Riceworld Museum reopened in January 2012 after closing in October 2011 to make way for an improved Rice Gallery area, which comprised a third of the Museums exhibition space. The Riceworld Museum and Learning Center was able to assist and participate in the following exhibitions: PhilRices Rice Self-Sufficiency Run, UPLB19 Feb SSD Open House Exhibit, 25 April Golden Rice Exhibit, Philippine Society of Nutritionists/Dieticians Annual Convention, Tagaytay City17 to 18 May Wonderama, Syensaya, UPLB17 to 20 July DA-BAR Anniversary, SM Megamall, Manila9 to 12 Aug

Seed Health Unit

The Seed Health Unit (SHU), as the single gateway for safe and efficient germplasm exchange and distribution, processes incoming and outgoing rice seeds/grains, nonseed biological materials (NSBM), materials other than seed, and soil samples for phytosanitary certification and post-entry clearance. In addition, SHU also assists Plant Quarantine Service in monitoring crop health, disposals and movements/ transfers of trangenic and wild rices. Furthermore, SHU facilitates the processing of transgenic rice seeds/grains and NSBM. Both incoming and outgoing seed shipments are accompanied by an appropriate Material Transfer Agreement (MTA). the highest number of shipments (254) and highest number of seedlots (15,986). SHU also issued 24 phytosanitary certificates covering 1,188 transgenic seedlots (7.8 kg) sent to eight countries worldwide (SHU Table 2). By region, Europe, Central Asia, and North America received the highest number of shipments, eight shipments per region. Europe and Central Asia received the highest number of seedlots (951). Furthermore, 46 phytosanitary certificates covering 32,647seedlots (748.8 kg) were also issued to INGER-PBGB for their nursery seed distribution; the seeds were sent to 25 countries (SHU Table 3). By region, East Asia got the most shipments (15), whereas South Asia obtained the highest number of seedlots (16,933). The different fungi detected, along with number of affected seedlots and detection level, are shown in SHU Table 4. Routine seed health tests conducted on 8,035 nontreated, nontransgenic outgoing seedlots showed that Curvularia spp. affected 96.7% of the seedlots while Pyricularia oryzae affected only 1.3%. Nontransgenic rice seeds were cleaned for objects of quarantine importance, tested for health, and treated with the prescribed ASEAN standard seed treatment for ricehot water 52-57 C/15 min. This was followed by fungicide slurry treatment with benomyl and mancozeb, both at 0.1% by seed weight, except for countries that do not allow seed treatment. Fumigation with phosphine was also done on all outgoing seeds. The health status of 3,840 seedlots from the T.T. Chang Genetic Resources Center was evaluated before storage. The different fungi detected with corresponding detection level and number of affected seedlots are shown in SHU Table 5. Routine seed health testing of 3,000 nontreated seedlots revealed that Curvularia spp. affected 99.9% of the seedlots and Tilletia barclayana affected only 0.13%.

cessed for phytosanitary certification and sent to 22 countries worldwide (SHU Table 6). In addition, a total of 11 shipments covering 702 various transgenic samples were processed and sent to seven countries (SHU Table 7). For nontransgenic NSBM, East Asia received the highest number of shipments (86). However, Europe received the highest number of samples (12,740). For transgenic NSBM, Europe received the highest number of shipments and number of samples, seven shipments covering 451 samples.
Post-entry clearance
Rice seeds/grains Eighty-nine incoming nontransgenic seed shipments covering 12,937 seedlots (795.6 kg) from 24 countries worldwide were also processed for post-entry clearance (SHU Table 8). By region, the highest num-
ber of shipments and number of seedlots came from Southeast Asia with 41 shipments covering 6,440 seedlots. In addition, five incoming transgenic seed shipments from East Asia and Southeast Asia were likewise processed (SHU Table 9). Japan sent the most transgenic rice seeds: 5,025 seedlots. Of the 3,331 incoming nontransgenic rice seedlots that were visually inspected, none was contaminated with weed seeds, but 0.7% was damaged by insects, 0.06% of which were due to Rhizopertha dominica (SHU Table 10a). In addition, 0.03% of the seedlots were found to have soil particles. In terms of general quality, 3,056 seedlots (91.7%) were under category 3 (SHU Table 10b). Seed health tests on 226 incoming nontreated seedlots showed that Trichoconis padwickii affected 92.5% of the seedlots, followed by Curvularia spp.,
91.2% (SHU Table 11). The prescribed ASEAN standard treatments were done on all incoming seeds. Material Transfer Agreement The different types of MTA for outgoing and incoming transgenic and nontransgenic rice seeds/grains issued during the year are shown in SHU Tables 12a and 12b, respectively. A total number of 752 various MTAs were issued for 711 outgoing shipments covering 104,403 seedlots (5,950.3 kg). Of these, 715 were standard MTAs (issued for 634 shipments covering 88,047 seedlots 3,955.4 kg). As to incoming shipments, 26 shipments covering 4,300 seedlots (152.8 kg) were accompanied by a standard MTA (SHU Table 12b).

Crop health inspection

Crop health inspections were conducted in postentry plant quarantine areas and in the GRC, PBGB, CESD, and GQNC seed multiplication plots during the 2012 dry and wet seasons at three different crop stages. SHU Table 13 shows the different diseases observed with corresponding prevalence percentage. For incoming materials planted during the dry season, 0.4% of the seedlings were infected with Sclerotium seedling blight, whereas no diseases were noted on seedlings planted during the wet season. During the dry season, the most prevalent disease observed at tillering and maturity stages was tungro, 3.38% and 3.48%, respectively. During the wet season, the most prevalent disease observed at the same two stages was bacterial leaf streak, 33.59% and 33.59%, respectively. Among materials planted in multiplication plots, Sclerotium seedling blight was most prevalent in both seasons, with 0.11% and 0.13%, respectively. The most prevalent disease observed during tillering and maturity was bacterial leaf streak, with 1.41% and 18.27%, respectively.
ferent organizational units and assist plant quarantine service officers dispose of transgenic materials (SHU Table 14) and monitor their movement or transfer (SHU Table 15). In 2012, a total of 4,253 various samples were disposed of, 83.7% of which were soil samples from PBGB experiments. During the same period, 27,020 various samples have been transferred/moved, 45% of which comprised rice seeds under the C4 Rice Center.
Workshops, training courses, visitors, and information awareness drive

SHU also participated in the following activities coordinated by the Training Center and/or National Program Relations: 1) orientation of on-the-job trainees (OJTs), postdoctoral fellows, MS and PhD research scholars, and interns from different organizational units (OUs); and 2) training courses such as Rice: Research to Production Course with 28 participants from six countries; Rice Breeding Course with 21 participants from 11 countries; Rice Production Techniques for Young Researchers for Africa with 11 African researchers; Rice Research for African Participants with five African technicians; Season-Long
Training of Trainers on Sustainable Rice Production for Agricultural Workers of Cavite; OJTs for five Indonesian researchers; Basic Training Course on Seed Testing and Certification for Inbred Rice with 22 participants from different IRRI OUs; General Plant Quarantine Training with 31 plant quarantine officers from Regions I-XII and CARAGA; and the Ten-day Intensive PalayCheck System Training Course with 25 agricultural extension workers from Region IV-A. The SHU visitors included the following: 22 Plant Pathology and 17 Agronomy 170 students from UPLB; 30 unit heads from different BPI National Seed Quality Control Services regional and satellite offices; 14 senior officials from the Department of Agriculture, Ministry of Agriculture and Forest, Royal Government of Bhutan; two quarantine officers from RDA, Korea; Tsung Wei-Lai, consultant, DDG-R Office; Ms. Bachabi Fatimata, AfricaRice; and Dr. Steven Groot from Wageningen University and Research Centre. SHU also conducted an information awareness drive for nationally recruited staff involved in germplasm exchange and distribution.

Weather Summary
Weather summary
2012 dry season was 300 mm. The same total rain accumulation trends were seen in 2012 and 2008, although that in 2012 had a slower start. The dry season in 2012 had a rainfall accumulation rate similar to that noted in the dry season of 2009, up until March. But the La Nia episode in 2009 continued to accumulate, reaching a total of 600 mm rainfall on April 30. The relatively dry seasons in 2010 and 2011 accumulated less than 120 mm rainfall. With 600 mm rainfall, it may be possible to grow rainfed rice during a dry cropping season with La Nia episodes. Annual rainfall for 2012 was 2162 mm for the IRRI dryland (upland) site and 2089 mm for the wetland (lowland) site. These values were 82.5 mm higher than the long-term average rainfall for the dryland site and 67 mm higher for the wetland site. Los Baos experienced above normal rainfall in March, turning the dry season into a wet season. The wettest day at IRRI occurred 25 October with more than 220 mm rainfall per day. The longest recorded continuous wet spell was 14 d (26 July8 August) at the dryland and wetland sites. The longest continuous dry spell was 20 d at the dryland site (21 February11 March) and 13 d at the wetland site (921 April). For both dryland and wetland sites, mean monthly solar radiation reached a peak in April (20.8 MJ m-2 d-1). It then gradually declined in December (12.5 MJ m-2 d-1). The highest recorded daily accumulated solar radiation occurred on 20 April (25.1 MJ m-2 d-1) at both sites. The highest mean monthly duration of bright sunshine was 9.6 h d-1 in April, declining to a low 3.7 h d-1 in August. The longest record of sunshine at Los Baos was on 10 June with 12.2 h of bright sunshine.

The distribution of minimum temperatures was more stable than that of maximum temperatures. Minimum air temperatures were generally similar to long-term monthly averages throughout the year. The coldest day of 2012 in Los Baos was on 24 February with 20.9 oC recorded temperature at the dryland site.

Maximum 24-h average wind speed for 2012 was 1.8 m s-1 at the dryland site and 1.7 at the wetland site in August and December, respectively. Because of slightly higher air temperature, lower amount of rainfall, and higher vapor pressure deficit at midday, free water evaporation at the upland site was slightly higher than that at the wetland site.
