ZAMBOANGA DEL NORTE | July 8, 2022<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Provincial Officer (PO) Dionn Mark Bohol discussed the Balanced Fertilization Strategy with 20 Agricultural Extension Workers (AEWs) and farmers during the Sorghum Production Training in Dipolog City last July 6, 2022.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

PO Bohol emphasized the importance of soil analysis in BFS. Soil analysis determines the type of soil and the nutrients it needs. Once the required nutrients and target crops are realized, the appropriate fertilization strategy will be applied.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

He also introduced other sources of Plant Nutrients registered in FPA. This might lessen the burden of buying high prices of fertilizers in the market, and ensure that the soil is healthy and the crops planted are of high quality.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Afterward, he also discussed the safe and responsible handling and usage of pesticides. He reminded the participants to wear their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when mitigating and controlling pests invading their farms.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Other speakers from private companies discussed about the sorghum production and management from land preparation, proper planting, pests and diseases of sorghum, and ratooning techniques.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Regional Corn Coordinator, Ms. Lorelie Lee Estrevillo, added that sorghum is in demand as feed for animals. She announced that several interventions for the said programs are currently undergoing.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>
