Effective talaga! US Agri Group To Test Philippine-Made Foliar

A Texas-based seed production company has expressed interest in conducting field tests of a Philippine-made seaweed-based foliar fertilizer, AMO or Ako’y Magsasakang Organiko, in the Sorghum seeds production fields in the U.S.
Coby Kriegshauser, CEO of the Scott Seed Company of Hereford, Texas who visited the Philippines earlier this month along with a technical team, was so impressed with the growth of the Sorghum planted in the demonstration farm of the Southseas Agri-Aqua Ventures that he asked me to facilitate the shipment of a small quanitity of AMO Foliar Fertilizer for trials in their farm.
He and his brother, Chad, who jointly own Scott Seed Company visited our Sorghum fields recently along with Sorghum expert Chuck Cielencki and his son, Barry, and witnessed the foliar fertilizer application using the DJI Agras T30 GPS-Guided Drone.
In our trials in the Sorghum Demonstration farm, including our actual field operations, AMO and another Foliar Fertilizer brand, the Thailand-formulated NoriNano, had shown outstanding effects on the vigor of Sorghum.
To support Filipino companies, however, I recommended to Scott Seed Company the use of AMO in their Sorghum seed production fields covering thousands of acres.
Seaweed-based foliar fertilizers had been produced in the Philippines by local companies but these had remained in the backstage because farmers preferred the more popular chemical-based commercial fertilizer.
With the astronomical increase in the prices of inorganic fertilizer, however, local farmers had slowly shifted to foliar fertilizers produced in the Philippines.
It is my hope that Philippine-made seaweed-based fertilizer would make it big in Organic Farming in America as this would have a big impact on the lives of our poor seaweed farmers in the country.
This would also earn the much needed $ to boost our local economy and provide income opportunities for the local people.
