A 1-hectare rice paddy yields 7-10 rice sacks (1 sack = 100 kilograms) or equivalent to 700-1.000 kilograms. On the other hand, rice paddy fields using bio-slurry have been completely spared from such pests thus enable the fields to produce the yield of up to 40 rice sacks or equivalent to 4.000 kilograms. Thanks to bio-slurry, in addition to being saved from the pests, the yields are also much higher in comparision to using the chemical fertilisers,” uttered Mr. Bernardus Missa, one of the bio-slurry business persons in Kambuhapang Village, Lewa Subdistrict, East Sumba, when acting as the first speaker in Bio-slurry Entepreneurship Training organised on June 5-6, 2017 at Elvin Hotel Auditorium in Waingapu by Yayasan Rumah Energi (YRE).
