Effects of MIT Lacto Plus Organic Fertilizer in the Profitability of Farms in Quirino. The result of the study indicated that there were no significant differences in the ROI for corn and vegetables in the three years that the MIT Lacto Plus Organic Fertilizer in the economic profitability in the farms of the respondents. However, significant findings was on the following: for rice, there was no significant difference on the ROI from rice in 2004 when compared with the ROI in 2003; the ROI for rice in the year 2005 was significantly higher than in 2003; and the ROI of rice in 2005 was significantly higher when compared to the income in 2004. The study recommends continuous use of MIT Lacto Plus Organic Fertilizer for three years to realize a significant increase on the gross income for rice and corn. The increase concentration of the fertilizer during the third year of application yield better rice and corn resulting to higher net income. The increased concentration of the MIT LactoPlus Organic Fertilizer during the third year of application could likewise give way to a far better corn harvest resulting to higher net income. MIT Lacto Plus Organic Fertilizer is better is more economically profitable in rice than in raising corn or vegetables. To realize a high economic profitability of farms planted to rice, the MIT Lacto Plus Organic Fertilizer should be continuously and extensively used. The study recommends that to realize a continuous annual increment in the gross income from rice the MIT lacto plus Organic fertilizer extensively and continuously for three years to realize a significant increase in the gross income from corn. The increase concentration of the MIT Lacto Plus Organic Fertilizer during the third year of application could yield better rice harvest resulting to higher income. However, the fertilizer is better and more profitable in rice production than in raising corn or vegetables.
