5 Must-Research Topics for Students on Soil Testing and Farming

Source: GMA News Online

Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

In Nueva Ecija, the Science City of Muñoz hosted the nation’s best farmers and fisherfolk as President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. made a bold claim. He said we will stop depending on rice imports. His plan? Soil laboratories. One in every region. He believes better soil will lead to better harvests. He just might be right. But the question is, will we act fast enough?

Here’s the truth. Filipino farmers are growing food on dying land. The soil is sick. Nobody tells them what nutrients are missing. Nobody gives them data. They are expected to feed the country while guessing what their soil needs. This is the research gap. This is what’s really wrong. Until we make soil health a national priority, our dream of food security is just that. A dream.

Get Your Thesis Title — or Keep Getting Rejected

Bestie, let’s stop pretending you’ve “got it covered.”

You’re here because:

• Your title keeps getting rejected

• You don’t know the difference between a “topic” and a “research gap”

• You’re guessing your way through something that decides your graduation

And let’s be real — you’ve already:
❌ Tried making titles from scratch
❌ Watched “How to Write a Thesis Title” TikToks
❌ Copy-pasted topics from other people's thesis (ooops?)

Still stuck? Exactly.

You don’t need more ideas.

You need a system.

That’s what the Thesis Toolkit gives you:

✅ YTB Thesis Title Booster – because you need legit, research-based topics based on current trends — not random ones na “maganda pakinggan.”

✅ Thesis Title Builder – because you keep forgetting na kailangan may survey source or research instrument ka rin, hindi lang title.

✅ Research Gap Finder – because most of your drafts get rejected for one reason: Walang gap.

YOU NEED THIS IF...

• You're tired of starting over

• You're afraid to open your adviser’s feedback

• You want a title, gap, and source na adviser-friendly and academically sound

This isn’t optional.
It’s either you use this toolkit...
or you keep wasting weeks writing titles na walang mapupuntahan.
