A demonstration conducted by the Department of Agriculture in Region VI, Philippines, to compare the effectiveness of different fertilizer treatments on transplanted rice. The treatments included 100% Nutriboost Nano Smart Fertilizer, 50% Nutriboost Nano Smart Fertilizer + 50% Inorganic Fertilizer, and 100% Inorganic Fertilizer.
Key Findings:
Based on the findings obtained, the following conclusions are drawn by the DA - Region VI
The application of 50% nutriboost nano plus smart fertilizer + 50% inorganic fertilizer were numerically enhanced the agronomic parameters such as; plant height, panicle length, tiller counts and grain yield (t/ha) of transplanted rice compared to other treatment.

Results of the PhilRice Fertilizer Derby, a competition held byt Philippine Rice Research Institute at PhilRice Negros during the 2023 dry season to evaluate the performance of different fertilizers on rice yield. The data focuses on the performance of Quanergy Agri Trading, a participant in the derby.
Key Findings:
Quanergy Agri Trading's Performance:
Comparison to Others:
Quanergy Agri Trading's use of Nutriboost as a pure foliar fertilizer appears to have been effective in reducing production costs compared to the other participants in the PhilRice Fertilizer Derby, but it did not lead to the highest yield. This suggests that while Nutriboost can help lower costs, other factors may be more important for maximizing rice yield in this specific context.
