What has led to the destruction of this

soil life? By: Rudy Maldo

The Green RevolutionRefers to a series of research, development, and technology transfer initiatives, occurring between the 1940s and the late 1960s, that increased agriculture production worldwide, particularly in the developing world, beginning most markedly in the late 1960s. The initiatives, led by Norman Borlaug, the "Father of the Green Revolution" credited with saving over a billion people from starvation, involved the development of high-yielding varieties of cereal grains, expansion of irrigation infrastructure, modernization of management techniques, distribution

of hybridized seeds, synthetic fertilizers and pesticides to farmers.

In 1960, the Government of the Republic of the Philippines with Ford and Rockefeller Foundations established IRRI (International Rice Research Institute). A rice crossing between Dee-Geo-woo-gen and Peta was done at IRRI in 1962. In 1966, one of the breeding lines became a new cultivar, IR8. IR8 required the use of

fertilizers and pesticides, but produced substantially higher yields than the traditional cultivars. Annual rice production in the Philippines increased from 3.7 to 7.7 million tonnes in two decades. The switch to IR8 rice made the Philippines a rice exporter for the first time in the 20th century. But the heavy pesticide use reduced the number of fish and frog species found in rice paddies.

The Answer

HUMATE –LIGNITE- BROWN COALAng King Humus Plus ay isang humate galing sa leonardite. Ito ay mga bahagi ng halaman,hayop at mga bagay na nabulok sa paglipas ng mahabang panahon.

Ang leonardite ay mina mula sa lignite o brown coal.Ito ay ang may pinakamataasNa deposito ng humic acid sa mga natural resources.

•Isinasaayos at itinataas ang kalidad ng lupa at ani•Tumutulong na maiwasan ang sobrang pagkatuyo •Binabawasan ang pag-guho ng lupa•Tinatanggal ang lason sa lupa•Pinapataas ang kakayanan ng lupa na mag-imbak ng tubig

•Pinapabilis ang paglaki ng halaman•Pinapaganda ang tubo ng ugat•Pinapataas ang bilang ng butil•Pinapataas ang bitamina sa halaman•Tumutulong sa pagkuha ng sustansya mula sa lupa•Tumutulong sa paggawa ng pagkain ng halaman

Binabawasan ang LASON dulot ng:

1.Pesticide2.Inorganic Fertilizer

1.Dumadami ang ani- masmalaking kita2.Bawas sa dami ng ginagamit na abono
