The threat of agricultural land degradation in Indonesia is increasingly concerning, with the area of damaged soil now reported to exceed 40 million hectares. This condition drastically reduces the soil's ability to provide nutrients for crops, which directly impacts the decline of national agricultural productivity. To address this soil fertility crisis, the utilization of biotechnology-based innovations is a crucial step that must be implemented immediately.
At the INAGRITECH 2026 agricultural technology exhibition, PT Pramudita Darya Parma introduced Dinosaur Biofertilizer as an answer to the damage to soil ecosystems caused by long-term chemical fertilizer dependence. This formula integrates 18 types of natural microbes specifically designed to restore the biological structure of soil saturated with chemical residues.
The active microbial content in this fertilizer, such as Azotobacter sp, Azospirillum sp, and Streptomyces sp, plays a strategic role ranging from binding free nitrogen, breaking down bound nutrients, to warding off plant disease-causing pathogens. Through this natural mechanism, the application of biofertilizer has been proven to restore soil health, cut farmers' operational costs, and increase crop yields by up to 30 percent.
The founder of Dinosaur Fertilizer, Freddy Wijaya, emphasized that their presence at INAGRITECH 2026 aims to expand education regarding the utilization of biotechnology to players in the agrarian sector. He hopes this step can help farmers restore the soil ecosystem independently to support the achievement of national food security and sovereignty.
In addition to the regular formula, in 2026 the manufacturer also launched a special fertilizer variant for the hydroseeding method. This planting technique is formulated to rehabilitate critical lands in sloped areas such as hillsides prone to erosion. Through this diversification of green technology-based products, the commitment to healthy and sustainable agriculture in Indonesia is expected to be realized faster.
