Overview
A SONA (2016) Commitment of President Rodrigo R. Duterte and one of the flagship programs is to develop color-coded agricultural guide maps which provide information on the fertility status of our soils and which crop is best suited for a specific soil, climate and geographic location.
The project has three components:
- Soil Fertility and Suitability Assessment and Mapping
- Technology Promotion and Adoption
- Capacity Building and IEC Campaign
The project intends to improve productivity through the development of soil-based agricultural guide maps and technology promotion on best management practices.
