DA-PhilRice Negros has partnered with the Central Philippines State University, Northern Negros State College of Science and Technology, and the Provincial Agriculture Office in integrating support tools to help farmers increase their rice yields and reduce production costs.
These support tools include the MOET, MOET App, Leaf Color Chart, LCC App, and Rice Crop Manager Advisory Service.
The local government units of EB Magalona, Calatrava, Don Salvador Benedicto, Murcia, Pontevedra, Hinigaran, and La Castellana are involved in the first leg of this project through focus group discussions and baseline surveys conducted by DA-PhilRice staff and the CPSU Research team.
This development initiative is under the Knowledge Sharing and Learning: Scaling of Matured Technologies in Nutrient Management to help rice farmers improve their productivity, efficiency, and profitability.
