Site-specific fertilizer recommendations eyed

THE Department of Agriculture-Philippine Rice Research Institute (DA-PhilRice) said it is developing location-specific fertilizer recommendations to help local farmers maximize their resources amid high fertilizer costs through the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF) Seed and Extension Programs.

Flordeliza Bordey, head of DA-PhilRice RCEF Program Management Office, said that farmers' resources have become more limited because of high fertilizer costs.
