 1989 Ramon Magsaysay Awardee for International Understanding - Asian Institute of Technology
Institution building was the hallmark of Bender’s administration, but his dramatic success in the area did not overshadow advances in AIT’s academic programs during the same years.
His idea was that AIT should not grow by grafting new fields to old ones in response to donor interest or to initiatives taken by individual faculty members but that it should expand in accordance with a faculty determined master plan.
Indeed, AIT students are hard workers who spend the vast majority of their time in class, in the library, in the laboratory, or at work on field projects.

 Tropical Horticulture - Dr. Volker Kleinhenz
It appears, that crop management technologies which improve growth and productivity of vegetables in tropical lowlands may have a more significant impact on reducing environmental pollution with nitrogen than N management itself.
From 1992 to 1995, experiments were conducted at the Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center (AVRDC) to test crop management technologies for their agronomic, ecological, and economical suitability to improve vegetable production in tropical lowlands.
Technolo­gies included: (1) permanent high beds, (2) the “Nmin-reduced method”, (3) the “integrated analysis of soil and plant nitrogen”, and (4) management of crop residues and green manure.
