The field was divided into 2 plots. Demo field is approximately 3,000 sq. meter while the control field is around 4,000 sq. meter.
Demo field was applied with 4 kgs. Of DPF with 50 kgs. Of Complete fertilizer (14-14-14).
Some of the soil divisions were heightened or covered with more soil to ensure that there will be no contamination of water in both fields.

As per observation, the control field has more weeds which is why more spots of the field appear to be yellow.
Also, more spots in the control field were greatly affected by the fungi which is a common disease in Ilo-ilo. In this situation, this will demonstrate one of DPF’s core technologies which is resistance inducing, effectively protecting crops from fungal infections. In our demo field, you can clearly see the results: while surrounding areas were significantly impacted by fungal outbreaks, our crops remained healthy and largely unaffected. This showcases the powerful benefits of our formulation in promoting plant health and maximizing yield potential.
As per observation, it can also be seen that the rice density of the demo field is higher compared to the control field. Also, Upon gathering data and counting the tillers, here are the results:
| Demo Field | Control Field |
| D1- 20 tillers | C1- 17 tillers |
| D2- 14 tillers | C2- 9 tillers |
| D3- 11 tillers | C3- 7 tillers |
| Average: 15 tillers | Average: 11 tillers |
October 29, 2024 – Harvest Day
Harvesting of rice in Dueñas, Iloilo.
There is a small portion of the demo area that was lodged due to the typhoon estimated to be around 142 square meters in total.
Combine harvester was used to harvest the demo and control field. This was done at night due to the difficulty to book a combine harvester in the area.
Dumangan Prime Inc. together with the farmer and Barangay Captain. Upon harvesting, the yield is 3.59 tons/ha. compared to the control field which is only 2.14 tons/ha. Hence, there is a percentage increase of 67.76% which shows the good effect of DPF despite the weather conditions. To obtain the yield per square meter, we divide harvested weight by the area of the plot. For the demo field, it has an area of 3000 sq m and yield of 1079.1 kg. On the other hand, the control has an area of 1100 sq m. and a yield of 234.9 kg.
