Verification and Cooperation with BPSI, Ministry of Agriculture.
On December 17, 2024, the Arktivate team visited BPSI, the research center of the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture, to see a comparison of the demonstration trials. The demonstration trials on lettuce showed promising results, with Arktivate producing heavier, darker green and thicker leaves compared to chemical fertilizers, as shown in the photo.
Encouraged by this success, we are now working with BPSI and the New Zealand Ministry, which provided the onion seeds, to conduct the first onion trials in Indonesia. Historically, onions have not grown well in Indonesia due to poor soil conditions and low yields. With Arktivate, the ministry aims to change this by improving soil health and nutrient availability through the use of Arktivate.
This trial will directly compare Arktivate with chemical fertilizers to evaluate its effectiveness. Planting will begin in two weeks, and we expect results in four months. Stay tuned for updates on this groundbreaking effort!
Officer Deden explains the process of setting up a test plot to grow lettuce using Arktivate.
A comparison between lettuce grown with chemical fertilizers and that grown with Arktivate clearly shows the differences. The weight, color, and thickness of the leaves showed striking and obvious variations.
Since planting, two Arktivate apps have been applied, resulting in results that exceeded expectations.
PT Bioark's Director Alwin explains and translates to the guests the results achieved with Arktivate.
Officer Deden shared that the next crop for our collaboration would be onions, while also discussing the potential of other crops for further testing and exploration.
The guests from Singapore were very enthusiastic about the success of the test plots and the upcoming collaboration with BPSI in onion cultivation.
This is an onion test plot that is being prepared. Two types of fertilizer will be used for comparison: chemical fertilizer and Arktivate. We are honored to be chosen as the only new technology organic fertilizer to be included in this trial.
Discussions with the Head of Research and Development at BPSI focused on preparing test plots for planting New Zealand seeds and conducting trials using Arktivate.
