Bio-fertilizer to be launched

The X-Tekh New Generation Liquid Bio-fertilizer Microorganisms will be launched at the Business Inn in Bacolod City at 7 p.m. tomorrow by AA Bio-Tekh Enterprises, the Filipino company that brought the product from Taiwan.

Director Alexander Acidera said that with their bio-fertilizer, they are bringing in a new technology for growers and farmers who can get long-term benefits from their products.

He said that their Taiwanese supplier is a company which boosts of P1 billion worth of research and laboratory equipment.

Consultant Nonito Franje, a plant pathologist, said their product is a revolutionary high technology compound fertilizer consisting of microbial, organic, and non-organic minerals. He said the action of microorganic within X-Tekh New Generation Liquid Bio-fertilizer helps release the "locked up" nutrients in the soil for ready plant uptake and utilization.

These microorganisms cluster around root systems and symbiotically or associatively help convert soil nutrients and also protect plants from diseases caused by harmful conditions in the soil, he said.

In using the product, the grower/farmer can expect increased yields by 20 to 30 percent for sugarcane; improved quality of crops; reduced stress in crops; deficiency correction; longer storage capacity; improved tree vigor; reduced frost injury; and a buffer for pesticides, Franje also said.*
