(In areas following the multiple cropping system such as Cavite and other provinces, it is recommended to apply 200-100-200 per hectare plus the needed micronutrients depending on soil analysis); Ningĩnĩwega kũiganania ithimi cia nitrogen na potassium nĩũndũ cierĩnĩibataranagia kwa wĩingĩ. (It is also important to balance potassium use to nitrogen-use, as high levels of both nutrients are needed for optimum growth.); Rĩrĩa ũkũhuhĩra dawa, nĩ wega gũtukania na INTEGRA gwa ithimi cia milimita ithatũ lita-inĩ mĩrongo ĩrĩ cia maaĩ tondũ nĩ ĩtũmaga dawa ĩrute wĩra wega makĩria. (While spraying the insecticides, it is advisable to mix it with INTEGRA 3ml/20l, which improves the efficacy of the chemical.)
