                    [Summary] => 



With the organic fertilizer program, a farmer can generate a savings of about P3,500 per hectare from the costs of inputs. This not only addresses the Department of Agriculture’s mandate to increase farmers’ incomes but will contribute to the food security agenda of the country explains Dr. Rogelio N. Concepcion, director of the Bureau of Soils and Water Management (BSWM) held at Barangay Aupagan, Butuan City, during the Farmers’ Field Day recently.
