It was also China that developed nitrogen-fixing organic fertilizer and soil conditioner called Exquisite BD that helped it save billions of dollars that would have otherwise been spent on chemical fertilizers and pesticides in propagating hybrid rice.

Part of Gredonia’s duties "during off hours" is to maintain the state of aquariums and their live edible seafoods in saltwater to prevent contamination or poisoning. Only the arowana and tilapia are kept in aquariums of freshwater.

But for the past two to three years, he noticed that mortality among his prawns at 1-1/2 to two months had been increasing and no one could explain why this phenomenon was happening to him and practically most prawn farmers in the country.

[Summary] => The Paulo Farm in Sta. Ignacia, Camiling, Tarlac had been growing carabao mangoes since 1986 using chemical fertilizers. It harvested during on-season or by summer along with other farms. Therefore, its products were priced similarly as those of other farms.

Last November, it harvested organic mangoes for the first time during the off season period from November until March, which is why it enjoyed better prices for its produce. It sold high at P1,000 (instead of just P800 during on season) per crate precisely because it was off season.

That was until they discovered that a certain soil conditioner was not only an excellent growth enhancer but also an effective disease prevention agent for animals and fish.

In December 2004, the college was alarmed with the high mortality rate of the chicks in the poultry farm due to the cool weather associated with other factors. It was then that the new product was introduced to the college by Chong Ken Foo.
