Like mushrooms after a rainy night, mixing plants of Bio-N, a microbial-based fertilizer, are now sprouting in strategic places in the country.


As of last count, there are now 32 Bio-N mixing plants across the country accredited by the UP Los Baños-National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (UPLB-BIOTECH) and the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Soils and Water Management (DA-BSWM).Of these, 22 are fully operational: 13 in Luzon, four in the Visayas, and five in Mindanao.

This simply named microbial-based fertilizer is consistently becoming a by-word among farmers growing rice, corn, and vegetables such as tomato, eggplant, ampalaya, pechay, lettuce, okra, and pepper.


In Cebu alone, more than a thousand farmers are now using the technology, reported Dr. Mercedes Garcia, a Los Baños scientist who developed the award-winning technology under the research program of the UP Los Baños National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (Biotech).
