This spirited scientist who set up UP Diliman’s molecular and biotechnology department and is still chairperson of the agri-biotech committee of the Department of Agriculture, still dons her lab gown, but half of her day is now spent on overseeing Arnichem Corp. with her husband Dr. Ponciano Halos, also a respected agriculture scientist.

                    [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).
