Maximizing food plants’ yields

Two products–Exquisite soil conditioner for plant growth and bio-organic fertilizer for flower inducement–have been proven efficient enhancer of food production by Chita A. Sandahan, supervising agriculturist at the Office of the Provincial Agriculture in Palawan.

Sandahan conducts demonstration farms in Puerto Princesa City, El Nido, Brookes’s Point, Narra and four other municipalities with rice, mango, bell pepper, corn, durian, banana and ornamental plants. With the application of the two agri-products, rice yields increased by more than 50 percent, reaching up to 180 cavans per hectare. The two products also increased the crop’s resistance to pest and diseases like black bug and diseases like bacterial leaf blight.

Two non-bearing mango trees – one 50 years old and another 20 years old, started to bear fruits after application of the soil conditioner and the bio-organic fertilizer. The other younger mango trees bore fruits earlier than the usual and had no pest and disease attacks..

Bell pepper planted in highly acidic soil (pH) three to four became vigorous and produced heavy yields upon application of the Exquisite products. Hybrid corn had two to three ears per panicle with length of seven to eight inches. Multi-stocked durian grew fast into strong plants against pests, diseases and typhoons for unhampered fruiting in just a matter of three to four years. For ornamentals like orchids the plants became very prolific with flowers. No pests and diseases were observed.

The Exquisite soil conditioner has other uses. When used in poultry there is no foul odor in the surroundings. In fish ponds, water becomes clear and lablab plants, a food for fish, grows very well.

The Exquisite soil conditioner which is made up of Bacillus Cohn belonging to the category of plant growth inducing Rhizobacterial product, promotes faster and bigger growth, higher yields aside from savings on fertilizer, pesticide and chemistry hormones.

The bio-organic fertilizer is a complex metabolite extract from microbe using deep-layer fermenting technology. A pure biological product and a non-chemical compound substance, it has the following advantages: 1) Promotes flowering and fruiting, prevents plant senescense and flower/fruit loss; 2) Breaks dormancy and promotes seed germination and increase the rate of sprouting; 3) Improves plant quality and increases plant commodity value; 4) Low application rate, less investment and higher yield; 5) Enhancing ability to withstand cold and resist pests and diseases; 6) Makes plant leaves greener and larger; sugar canes thicker and growth vigorous. The products are available in a 10- gram sachet costing P56 each. Each sachet is good enough for 20 liters of water. One pair is enough for 1,000 square meters of farm.
