KEY RESULTS:

  • 78 lbs./acre lint increase
  • $74.79/acre more net profit
  • Lower input costs by $24.28/acre
 
Treatments: Control Plot (grower's standard fertilizer and crop protection program); Agri-Gro Plot (25% reduction from control plot in fertilizer rates, 50% reduction from control plot on all other crop protection inputs)

Application: 1 in furrow application, 2 foliar applications

Conclusions: The treated plot yielded 78 lbs./ acre more cotton compared to the non-treated plot. Weed control was the same in both plots. The Agri-Gro treated plot graded better than the non-treated plot.

  • 25 lbs./acre lint increase
  • $40.27/acre more net profit
  • Lower input costs by $23.34/acre
 
Treatments: Control Plot (grower's standard fertilizer and crop protection program); Agri-Gro Plot (25% reduction from control plot in fertilizer rates, 50% reduction from control plot on all other crop protection inputs)

Application: 1 in furrow application, 2 foliar applications

Conclusions: The treated plot yielded 25 lbs./acre more cotton compared to the non-treated plot. The treated plot also matured earlier and had a higher lint percent. For four straight years, Agri-Gro has shown a substantial net increase for the grower.

KEY RESULTS:

  • 27 lbs./acre lint increase
  • $40.31/acre more net profit
  • Lower input costs by $22.49/acre
 
Treatments: Control Plot (grower's standard fertilizer and crop protection program); Agri-Gro Plot (25% reduction from control plot in fertilizer rates, 50% reduction from control plot on all other crop protection inputs)

Application: 1 in furrow application, 2 foliar applications

Conclusions: For the 5th straight year, the Agri-Gro plot with a reduced rate of fertilizer has out yielded the control plot. The Agri-Gro plot has proven to be considerably more profitable all 5 years.
