A mobile soil laboratory is reaching out to various parts of Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte to provide on-site soil testing and analysis.<\/p>\n
The municipal government of Pagudpud, led by Mayor Rafael Ralph Benemerito, confirmed Tuesday that the on-site testing has been extended for two days to accommodate more farmers.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon’t miss this opportunity to know your soil better,\u201d the Municipal Agriculture Office said in a statement Tuesday, enjoining farmers to bring soil samples to the Pagudpud Cultural and Sports Complex.<\/p>\n
After the Pagudpud leg, the mobile laboratory will visit other parts of the province to conduct similar testing and analysis.<\/p>\n
The Department of Agriculture (DA) 1 (Ilocos Region) stated that results will be used to update the regional soil fertility map and guide farmers on proper fertilizer application.<\/p>\n
This initiative is part of the DA\u2019s national soil health program, implemented through the Bureau of Soils and Water Management to boost agricultural production.<\/p>\n
The mobile laboratory evaluates soil chemistry, physical structure, microbiology, and water quality to provide tailored recommendations on fertilizer type and timing.<\/p>\n
Farmers receive specific guidance through soil health reports and soil cards to improve overall land productivity and health conditions.<\/p>\n
The mobile unit is currently deployed across Ilocos Norte, where experts are conducting sampling, testing, and capacity-building activities for local stakeholders. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
