MANILA, Philippines — The University of the Philippines Los Baños plans to scale up the production of Bio N fertilizer, a microbial-based fertilizer, to help address the persisting supply and cost issues of inorganic fertilizers.
Developed 40 years ago, Bio N is a microbial based fertilizer made of microorganisms isolated from the roots of talahib which can convert nitrogen from the air into ammonium nitrogen in the soil. It said five to six sachets of Bio-N – priced at P100 per sachet – can replace two 50-kilo bags of urea per hectare planted to rice.
The request for support was discussed in a recent courtesy meeting with DA senior undersecretary Domingo Panganiban. It operates as the research and development unit of UP Los Baños, collaborating with various departments and disciplines in engineering, chemistry and applied microbiology to conduct research, training and extension in biotechnology.
In two months alone, I have had the privilege to speak at major, well-attended business conferences offered to mostly HR people on employee engagement and the need to bring humanity back into human resources.
