Rice
Production costs in rice production began to rise in the 1990’s and rice farmers are facing declining profits. Lower yield due to many diseases and insect pests, and the effect of calamities are the primary reasons for the reversal in profitability. Commercial fertilizer, pesticides and fungicides, herbicide, labor cost, and water are driving up input prices. There are some efforts in the world to raise productivity...

Dosage & Application
-
For 2 days, submerge or soak the good seeds in water with Atovi. Mix thoroughly to make sure that all the seeds will absorb the technology. (Dilution - 1 tbsp of Atovi : 4 liters of water, or 1 kg of Atovi : 1 drum of water)
-
After 2 days, the seeds are now ready to be transferred to the nursery. *Remember: the remaining water (with Atovi) where the seeds have been soaked may be used to water the nursery or the rice field.
-
During land preparation, spray Atovi in the field after the application of animal manure as basal fertilizer. This is to hasten the decomposition of the organic materials in the soil. (Dilution - 1 kg of Atovi : 1 drum of water, or 4 tbsp of Atovi : 16 liters of water).
-
After transplanting, spray Atovi in the rice field weekly for 1 month.
-
The important growth stage timeline when Atovi application is critically needed:
-
At early growth stage (10-14 DAT)
-
During active tillering (23-33 DAT)
-
During panicle initiation (33-44 DAT)
-
During the milking stage
-
-
In case of severe climate like strong typhoon and floods, apply NPK and micronutrients in the afternoon to the plants that were severely damaged, submerged, and nearly dead. On the day after, spray Atovi twice (in the early morning and late afternoon) for 1 week for them to recover.
