Angelica Mae Maganis interviewed farmer Alejo Leal about his farming practices. Leal enriches the soil with natural fertilizers like manure, compost, and green manure. He sometimes uses organic pesticides and Cymbush pesticide to protect crops from pests. Leal also uses nitrogen-15 and phosphorus-32, important nutrients that help with plant growth, photosynthesis, and determining fertilizer effectiveness.

QUESTIONS ANSWERS
1. What do you add to the soil before I enriched the soil with natural fertilizers,
you plant a crop? such as animal manure, green manure, and
compost. Since natural fertilizers are healthy
for soil and plants.
2. What sprays, pesticides, herbicides Sometimes I used organic pesticide since it is
do you use? natural, more environmentally friendly and it
is not expensive. But sometimes I used
Cymbush pesticide since it is more effective.
This Cymbush pesticide is use to protect my
crops from insect pests, weeds and fungal
diseases while they are growing.
3. What other materials do you used in I also used nitrogen-15 and phosphorus-32,
your crops? which are important nutrients for my plants.
Nitrogen-15 plays an important role in my
plant growth and photosynthesis, the process
through which plants convert energy from
sunlight into chemical energy. Nitrogen is
often added to the soil in the form of
fertilizer. I used nitrogen-15 because it can
determine the effectiveness of fertilizers for
crops. I used phosphorus-32 for tracking the
absorption of fertilizer by the plants from
roots to leaves. I apply the phosphorus
fertilizer by dissolving it on water instead of
applying it directly to the soil.
