The use of high quality seeds, particularly hybrids and GMOs, has led the country to 100-percent self-sufficiency in corn. From my being the strategic adviser of Prasad Seeds Philippines Inc. (PSPI), I can say from experience that hybrid corn seeds provide the best yields from healthy plants. Use of quality seedsBesides providing hybrid seeds for its farmer-partners, PSPI also makes sure its seeds are of high quality or free from impurities. The use of hybrid seeds of high quality, and mechanization for postharvest and planting, or even tilling and applying of fertilizers, are definitely keys to increasing the yield of corn farms. But it all starts with using quality hybrid seeds.
