Projek Tanaman Fertigasi

March 16, 2023 | Bera, Pahang

Through the MPOB-UKM@Kampung program with smallholder communities in Serian, Sarawak, the fertigation cucumber planting project has also been introduced to smallholders. The simulation of this project was conducted by researchers under the MPOB-UKM Endowment Chair grant in Bera, Pahang. Fertigation cucumber cultivation is an alternative method for smallholders who wish to adopt proven modern farming systems capable of increasing crop yields. Through effective crop management, fertigation system applications can ensure high cucumber yields compared to conventional systems, making it the preferred choice for farming entrepreneurs. The introduced fertigation model has garnered the attention of YBrs. Dr. Romle Moslim, Deputy Director General (Services), MPOB.
