                    [Summary] => Researchers of the Philippine Rice Research Institute [PhilRice] have formulated a low-cost microbial inoculant that can process biodegradable wastes in two weeks.


Called MBI (microbial base inoculant), it is produced from local materials such as sawdust, coco dust, carbonized rice hull, and molasses inoculated with a mixture  of naturally occurring beneficial organisms commercially known as effective organisms (EM).  Developed in Japan, EM contains yeast, lactic acid bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, and photosynthetic bacteria.

This can be done by applying a microbial inoculant developed by PhilRice (Philippine Rice Research Institute) researchers on farm wastes like animal manure, weeds, leaf droppings, crop residues (rice straw) and tree trimmings or clippings.

Two farmer organizations in Nueva Ecija are already cashing in on carbonized rice hull (CRH) with assistance from PhilRice and the Philippine Rural Reconstruction Movement (PRRM). They have already exported nine container vans of CRH to Japan.
