- Study date
- September 2025
- Location
- Brgy. Switch, Ramon Magsaysay, Zamboanga del Sur
- Product
- UltraPure
Reported result
The report records 11.59 t/ha for the UltraPure treatment and 8.39 t/ha for the recommended crop-management treatment.
How the work was reported
The report describes a manually transplanted NCIS Rc 748 H rice crop established on June 2, 2025 and harvested on September 2, 2025. It used a 1,000 m² UltraPure treatment plot and a separate recommended crop-management plot, with descriptive comparison of crop cuts and costs.

Findings in the source
- Reported grain yield was 11,591 kg/ha in the UltraPure treatment and 8,393 kg/ha in the comparison treatment.
- Reported productive tillers at 56 days after transplanting were 21.2 for UltraPure and 15.6 for the comparison treatment.
- At an assumed palay price of ₱23/kg, the report calculated return on investment of 289.99% for UltraPure and 242.47% for the comparison treatment.
Read the result in context
- This was a descriptive field demonstration, not a replicated randomized trial.
- The report used one crop cut per treatment, so the observed difference should not be treated as a general yield guarantee.
- The report itself recommends further testing across locations and seasons.
