DA, NFA to start soil tests to raise corn output

THE Department of Agriculture (DA) has tapped the National Food Authority (NFA) to implement the department’s mobile soil test clinics in major corn-producing provinces in the country.

The joint project aims to increase corn output through sufficient and balanced fertilization based on results of the soil tests, DA-Bureau of Soils and Water Management (BSWM) Executive Director Dr. Silvino Tejada said during the signing of the memorandum of agreement.
