PH Hybrid Rice Companies – Challenge For You To Fund A Central Luzon Techno Demo With FAH As Project Leader Using His “Hybrid Rotavator”

Attention PH hybrid rice companies – from Asingan, Pangasinan, I Frank A Hilario challenge you to jointly finance a techno demo with a reprogrammed PhilRice rotavator in 7 Central Luzon provinces: Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales (plus Pangasinan, my home province). With an off-the-shelf rotavator operated with my strict instructions, based on experience, I promise you: Zero Fertilizers, Very High Yields!

Unbelievable! Yes, that is why I am asking for a techno demo, to convince all the doubters, unbelievers. I will now call my challenge:

Hybrids Zero-8
(That is, hybrid rice plus hybrid rotavator plus zero fertilizer equals 8 tons/ha harvest.)

As of now, it’s unbelievable! I tell you: “Think Organic Agriculture (OA); think Regenerative Agriculture (RA) – I should say, Regenerative, Remunerative Agriculture (2RA). Via trash farming.

15 years ago, in 2007 I first wrote about “Hybrid Rice” – see my essay “A Different Internet: Values For Sale” (23 April 2007, Frank A Hilario, blogspot.com). And in that same year, as a WFH for ICRISAT, I first wrote about the “Rotavator” or “Rotary Tiller” (10 June 2007, “Isabela Principle 2: In Rain, Don’t Look At The Water!” iCRiSAT Watch, blogspot.com).

Yes, my favorite single topic is the rotavator. Here are a few essays I blogged on the matter over the years:

Now, back to my challenge: PH hybrid rice companies, fund my proposed techno demo of Hybrids Zero-8 – I “adjust” the rotavator to create all over the field an automatic organic mulch (organic fertilizer), harvest 8 tons minimum. For project funding, P1 million should be enough, for 8 techno demos in 8 provinces, at P125,000 each.

Afterwards, the hybrid rice returns will be in the millions!@517
