A MARKED shortage in fertilizer supply, both on a global and local scale, remains a big threat to food security. Dwindling fertilizer stock can also undermine the robustness of the productivity level of Philippine agriculture as soil nutrients are necessary for our crops to grow.
One interesting project under the initiative that promises hope with regard to farmers’ fertilizer woes is the Balanced Fertilization Strategy, BFS.BALANCED fertilization is a method of fertilization that prioritizes the proper or optimum supply and the right balance of macro and micronutrients for both crops and soil.
“Traditional fertilization heavily reliant on synthetic chemicals strips our soil of its essential nutrients, resulting in less yield and quality of harvest, and pushes farmers to use more and more chemical inputs every crop season,” according to Reymond Magdato, National Sales and Marketing Manager of Enviro Scope Synergy Inc.
Balanced fertilization, therefore, is a sustainable method of rejuvenating the soil to its healthiest state, Magdato added. As soon as the program was introduced, Filipino farmers were quick to adopt it as long as the costs necessary to apply them made sense. The biofertilizers used in Enviro’s balanced fertilization method cut their costs by 30-50 percent, and increased their yields by 30-40 percent, making it a highly sustainable, cost-efficient way of farming.
