Chemistry in agriculture.

The Ramon
Magsaysay chemical agricultural
advancements

Agriculture predominant economy is what Philippine is. Despite the

advances that will continually be made by the manufacturing industries,
agriculture will remain the foundation of our economy for an indefinite
period. An economy especially like this will have hard time being
prosperous or may even fail altogether if it is not fed and encouraged by
creative chemical research and the various chemical industries.

Chemistry not only helps our economy but also provides an economic
stimulation available from no other source

Two ways that chemistry can assist agriculture. First it can help In the
actual production of the crop, Fertilizers are almost a necessity for
successful farming today. Pesticides are also well established for certain
crop. Herbicides is now very common. All this had their origin in the test
tubes of Filipino chemists and are now being produced a ton.
Second way chemistry can help in agriculture is by providing a
steady market. Given that chemistry is widely used for almost everything,
the use of it is almost like a web wherein they are intersects with
chemistry. The crops harvested with the help of chemistry will also be
sold with the help of chemistry, crops turns into raw materials used in
many things in our economy, from food to object, its all because of
chemistry.

 Our late President Ramon Magsaysay incorporated the ideas of
chemistry in to an opportunity to strengthen and broaden the base of our
economic activities.

The universal sweetener, a product
of chemistry. We’ve been harvesting
sugar cane for so long, that it
became our second largest export
product. Chemistry is the reason for
all this many food we eat contains
sugar, and even the pile of rubble
from these sugar cane can become
paper. In 1950 magsaysay
implemented the use of chemistry to
further enhance the harvest of our
sugar canes, also since the surplus of
sugar canes chemists developed
experiments to use these further,
that we can even stand on equal
footing with other countries in terms
of sugar cane export.
Also one of our large export is the
abaca but musaic disease
endangered this industry but later
on cured with the help of
chemistry, another large leap
brought to us by chemistry. The
data of chemical and physical
analysis showed the abaca fiber
has high cellulose (66.43%),
hemicellulose (24.7%), lignin
(13.6%) and low water content
(0.7%), that results caused the
fiber has high value of mechanical
property with tensile strength up to
308,7 MPa. A cheap yet strong
fiber

Since the early 1836 1911 1912 1950

days

The ever useful COCONUT In ramon magsaysay

even has its own industry reign chemists regain
since 1900s that we ranked their composure
2nd country to provide most discovering valuable
coconut in the world, what a chemicals especially
great feat provided for us by from raw materials from
chemistry provided market plants, like how
making coconut an in demand serpentina is used by the
raw material. In 1950 Late elders to cure diseases.
President Magsaysay saw this Chemistry is used to
as an opportunity giving discover chemicals from
filipinos job chances and these raw material that
profit, his coconut project can be used for the
further developed our benefits of agriculture
harvests and even cure thus increasing the farm
diseases for the palm production
