Today we went on a field day with our model farmer, a Mr B. Smart of Area 25, Lilongwe. He volunteered to grow a maize crop using 2 types of fertilizers: Bionitrate organic fertilizer in one part of the field and chemical fertilizers namely 23:21:0S plus Urea 46%N in the other. He wanted to see for himself the results in crop yield. We went around the field and he showed us the crop performance under the 2 types of fertilizers. His conclusion? The performance is the same. You can’t differentiate the 2 fields laying side by side.
