WHAT ARE THE METHODS USED IN RICE PRODUCTION? DIRECT SEEDING TRANSPLANTING

TYPES OF SEEDS INBRED HYBRID

WHAT IS INSIDE THE BAG? N P K = NITROGEN = PHOSPHORUS = POTASSIUM

FAST FACTS ABOUT FERTILIZERS The “NUMBERS” represents the actual nutrient content percentage They grow plants but do nothing to sustain the soil Repeated applications may result in a toxic buildup of chemicals such as arsenic, cadmium, and uranium in the soil. These toxic chemicals can eventually make their way into your fruits and vegetables. Long-term use of chemical fertilizer can change the soil pH, upset beneficial microbial ecosystems, increase pests, and even contribute to the release of greenhouse gases.

WHAT ARE THE FOUR (4) BASIC NEEDS OF PLANTS? SUN AIR WATER SOIL

HOW CAN WE HELP TO REHABILITATE THE SOIL? CULTIVATE REDUCE USING CHEMICALS USE IOF or INSTA ORGANIC FARM

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING IOF? SOIL REJUVENATOR It loosens-up soil structure for better aeration It helps stabilize soil pH and neutralize soil acidity GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT ENHANCER It converts soil nutrients to its preferred nitrate form It activates multiplication of microorganisms It accelerates growth and development of plants leading to earlier physiological maturity and better yield It help the plants produce Gibberellin and kinetin-like hormones giving the plants protection from pests and diseases
