Agriculture, devises, plans, and execute programs for its efficient and effective operation. It render services that provide soil analysis, STK Refilling, Mushroom Cultivation and Compost Fungus Activator, and is committed in many ways by conducting trainings and seminars to farmers and technicians regarding the services offered. The Provincial Soils Laboratory is the frontline in providing reliable qualitative analysis on soil in the province. Soil testing has been a valuable tool for agricultural production to determine the fertility of soil for fertilizer recommendation analysis by a skilled laboratory technician. Application of recommended fertilizer has produced higher yields and generate more income to farmers. Organic mushroom farming is also being introduced to interested parties. Mushrooms are very nutritious products that can be generated from cellulosic waste materials and are rich in fiber and proteins and has medicinal properties that are used in medicine. Mush room farming may open new employment opportunities and income to farmers. Trainings will be provided by a laboratory personnel which will equip them with more skills and knowledge and help them succeed in the promising venture. The production of CFA (Compost Fungus Activator), Trichoderma Harzianum is also provided by the laboratory, and has been promoting it to farming communities. The use of trichoderma harzianum hastens the rapid decomposition of organic waste materials from farms for only two weeks unlike the traditional composting process which takes about 5 to 6 months. many farmers were able to adapt the technology because it is cost efficient, improves soil fertility, provides biological control to certain pests and diseases and is not harmful to human being. The provincial soils laboratory is making its effort in upgrading the laboratory equipment and facilities to improve its services to farmers, students, LGUs and public and private clientele.
