Country of Origin of Fertilizer Imports Raw Materials
Issues and concerns Spiralling price of fertilizer particularly urea because it is an oil-based commodity. Freight cost is less if the source is near the Philippines e.g. China is now producing urea, though Indonesia, Malaysia and Japan are fertilizer exporters. Government encourages the manufacture of organic fertilizer and biofertilizers (Bio N, Vital N etc.) to augment the supply of inorganic as well as to recycle the nutrients to sustain soil fertility and crop production.

Relative Number of Atoms of Essential Nutrients in Plants for Normal Growth Relative number of atoms of the essential elements in alfalfa at bloom stage, expressed logarithmically. Note that there are more than 10-million hydrogen atoms for each molybdenum atom. Even so, normal plant growth would not occur without molybdenum. Cobalt is generally present in even smaller quantities in plants than is molybdenum. [Modified from Viets.]
Using BIO-N for Corn • Place seeds in a suitable container and moisten with water. • 2. Pour sufficient amount of inoculants.
2. Mix thoroughly until the seeds are evenly coated. Note: A drop or 2 of sticker may be mixed with water to enhance adsorption of BIO-N on the seeds.
SUMMARY • Bio-N increases yield of rice and corn • It replaces 30-50% of Recommended Rate (RR) of • inorganic fertilizer as supplement for • nitrogen requirement of the crop • Bio-N can increase yield with basal organic • fertilizer
