                    [Summary] => It’s simply named Vital N.


This is a microbial inoculant that has been found to cut production cost by half and at the same time increase by 15-30 percent yields of rice and other high-value crops such as corn, onion, banana and leafy vegetables.

The technology was developed from a bacterium named Azospirillum by Dr. Ponciano M. Halos, a scientist at the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice).

"During the dry season, the snail buries itself and goes to sleep for more than six months," noted the Philippine Rice Research Institure (PhilRice), which has been intensively studying the life cycle of GAS, one of the major destructive pests attacking young rice plants.

The snail, added PhilRice, wakes up and surfaces during the planting season when the irrigation water penetrates the soil.
