Continuing my Hybrids Zero-8 Challenge – I call now on any hybrid rice company in the Philippines to fund my reinvention of the off-the-shelf locally available rotavator to produce a PH hybrid rotavator that guarantees farming low cost & high returns. Right now, with my strict instructions for operation, an off-the-shelf rotavator can automatically create an “organic mulch” and spread it all over the field – no fertilizer necessary, no organic fertilizer to apply, and no further cultivation after that single rotavation!
The other day, Monday, I blogged “PH Hybrid Rice Companies –
Challenge For You To Fund A Central Luzon Techno Demo With FAH As Project
Leader Using His ‘Hybrid Rotavator’” (The
Editor In Chief, blogspot.com).
I am offering more details in this essay.

My “label” of the
accompanying image in that earlier essay says it all:
“Hybrid Rice + Hybrid Rotavator = Super Rich Harvests!” – Frank A Hilario.
In an Indian blog, m.i.t.r.a. tells us “How to Use Rotavator
Machine and Its Benefits” (mitraweb.in,
also source of “Rotomaster” image).
m.i.t.r.a. says, “A rotavator [cuts into] the soil… allowing
everything planted to thrive.”
I say, “A rotavator
breaks the soil, to enable it to ‘breathe’ and therefore allows your crops to
grow roots and prosper.”
m.i.t.r.a. says, “The dividing of soil churns and aerates
the soil, [producing] a more fertile growing climate.”
I say, “The rotavator
digs up and aerates the soil, good for crops growing.”
m.i.t.r.a. says, “Before rotavating new ground, you must
eliminate any weeds a couple of days ahead of time.”:
I say, “Eliminating
the weeds is a waste of a natural resource for enriching the soil! My hybrid
rotavator is designed to automatically cut simultaneously the soil and weeds
together and spread the mix all over the field. This creates a natural organic
mulch!
m.i.t.r.a. says, “If you rotavate through weeds, they could
get caught in the Rotavator tractor [blades] and spread around the land.
I say, “Precisely!
That’s the whole point of proper rotavation – producing that organic mulch. My
hybrid rotavator cuts into the soil and weeds, mixes them, and spreads the
mixture on the field in one rotary motion – and repeats and repeats.”
m.i.t.r.a. says above the “Rotomaster” image: “Best Soil
Pulverization.”
I say, “If you don’t go
beyond pulverizing your soil with your rotavator, you are missing the hidden
virtue of that machine!”
m.i.t.r.a. says, “Using [the rotavator] can benefit you like
it can help the soil level the ground and drain away any water that is [excessive
on] the surface.”
I say, “What
m.i.t.r.a. misses is that the purpose of rotavation is not so much to level the
ground as to enrich it with organic matter from the weeds (and any crop refuse
left after harvest). Yes, the excess water will go.”
I
am speaking from the decades-long rotavator experience of my brother-in-law Lorenzo Casasus in my hometown Asingan,
Pangasinan. He had been using my personal strict rotavator instructions. (See my
2018 essay, “The Lesson of the Rotavator,” Organic
Country, blogspot.com).@517
