UltraBoost as Seed Treatment and Foliar Fertilizer in Rice
A dry-season field experiment evaluated UltraBoost as a seed treatment and foliar input across six rice fertility treatments.
- Study date
- December 2023 – April 2024
- Location
- Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija
- Product
- UltraBoost
Reported result
The full recommended fertilizer rate plus UltraBoost treatment produced a reported 11.47 t/ha; the half-rate fertilizer plus UltraBoost treatment produced 10.03 t/ha.
How the work was reported
The report describes a randomized complete block design with six treatments, three replications, 20 m² plots, and NSIC 222 rice. Treatment means were evaluated with analysis of variance and Tukey HSD at the 5% level.

Findings in the source
- The full recommended inorganic fertilizer rate plus UltraBoost recorded the highest reported yield at 11.47 t/ha.
- Half the recommended fertilizer rate plus UltraBoost recorded 10.03 t/ha and was reported as statistically comparable in the study.
- Treatments covered untreated, full- and half-rate fertilizer programs, and combinations with UltraBoost.
Read the result in context
- The results describe one dry-season experiment on one rice variety and should be interpreted within those conditions.
- The report title block and field-site narrative use different barangay names; this page therefore reports the shared city and province.
- Field performance can vary with soil, weather, variety, and management. Always follow the registered product label.
