#InPhotos | The Department of Agriculture – Regional Field Office (DA-RFO) XII, through the Research for Development (R4D) Division, rolled out #FarmersFieldDay in Banisilan, Cotabato in May 28, 2025, for the project “Improving Corn and Cassava Productivity through Outscaling of SSNM Nutrient Expert in Region XII” in a field-level showcase of smarter nutrient management.
Funded by the Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR), this activity demonstrates the practical application of Site-Specific Nutrient Management (SSNM) through the use of Nutrient Expert technology, a decision-support tool designed to provide farmers with tailored fertilizer recommendations for increased crop yield and soil sustainability.
During said activity, participating farmers, local officials, and stakeholders were given a firsthand look at the outcomes of the SSNM demonstration trials conducted in selected farms across Banisilan. Farmers were able to observe real results from demonstration plots, where data-driven fertilizer recommendations led to healthier plants, improved yields, and more efficient use of inputs.
