Speaker Martin Romualdez on Sunday expressed high hopes of improved earnings for Filipino farmers following the opening in Laguna of a plant for locally developed biological fertilizer, describing it a “game changer” in the country’s aim for food security.
The Leyte congressman said the inauguration of AgriSpecialist Inc.’s Bio N fertilizer plant in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, would usher in a new chapter in Philippine agriculture and be a turning point for farmers and the country’s food supply.
According to the University of the Philippines-Los Baños’ (UPLB) National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology website, Bio N is a microbial based fertilizer mainly composed of bacteria that could convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form usable by rice, corn and vegetables to enhance shoot growth and root development.
