Rice farmers in Malaysia face many challenges, from unpredictable weather to stubborn weeds that affect yield. In Bukit Rambai, Melaka, farmer Puan Rohana tested Borochemie NPK 16-16-16 on her 1.5-acre paddy field. Despite a tough season with limited rainfall and wild rice infestation, the results showed encouraging growth and boosted her confidence in Borochemie’s fertilizer.
The Challenge
This planting season was anything but smooth for Puan Rohana.
Inconsistent rainfall left her field without enough water.
She had to supply additional water manually to sustain the crop.
Wild rice (padi angin) invaded the field, reducing both yield and grain quality.
Her goal was to see if Borochemie fertilizer could strengthen plant growth and deliver better results than previous seasons.
The Solution
Puan Rohana applied Borochemie NPK 16-16-16 to her paddy field. With added irrigation support, the fertilizer was expected to:
Enhance early plant growth.
Improve resilience under less-than-ideal weather conditions.
Deliver more consistent results compared to her past fertilizer use.
The Results
- After application, the paddy plants showed clear improvement in growth compared to before treatment.
- Although wild rice limited maximum yield, Puan Rohana described the results as better and more encouraging than previous planting seasons.
- Impressed with the outcome, she purchased 10 more bags of Borochemie fertilizer for her next planting cycle in September 2025, confident it would help her achieve even better results.
“The plants grew better with Borochemie fertilizer. Even though wild rice affected the yield, the results were encouraging, and I am confident to continue using it in my next season.” – Puan Rohana, Bukit Rambai
Conclusion
The trial demonstrated that Borochemie NPK 16-16-16 supports healthy paddy growth, even in challenging conditions. While wild rice limited overall yield, the farmer’s positive experience and decision to continue with Borochemie reflects the fertilizer’s effectiveness and reliability.
