Key Conclusions
These trials demonstrated that a single basal application of Agromaster increased rice yield by 19-22%, compared to 3 split applications of traditional fertilizer. This yield increase contributed to an increase in the farmer’s gross income of 22-27% by using Agromaster.
Objective
To prove that using Agromaster as 100% base fertilizer results in better yields compared to the grower’s practice which consists of 3 split fertilizations.
