Biofertilizers for increased agricultural productivity and cropping intensity
Cost-effective alternatives, sustainable, and environmentally friendly can describe UPLB’s biofertilizers.
These biofertilizers are formulated for different ornamental plants, fruit trees, and agricultural crops like rice, corn, vegetables, and legumes to enhance plant growth and development, increase yield, and reduce use of chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.
Our goal is to improve agricultural productivity and increase cropping intensity for Filipino farmers and to contribute to achieving food security in the Philippines.
