1994

KEY RESULTS:

  • 7 Bu/acre yield increase
  • $40.16/acre more profit
  • Lower input costs
 
Treatments: Control plot (grower's standard fertilizer and crop protection program); Agri-Gro plot (25% reduction in fertilizer rates compared to control plot, 50% reduction on all other crop protection inputs)

Application: 1 soil, 2 foliar applications

Conclusions: In spite of receiving less fertilizer and a 50% reduction in herbicides and fungicides, the treated plot out yielded the control plot and achieved equal control in regard to weed and disease pressure.

KEY RESULTS:

  • 16 Bu/acre yield increase
  • $55.72/acre more profit
  • Lower input costs
 
Treatments: Control plot (grower's standard fertilizer and crop protection program); Agri-Gro plot (25% reduction in fertilizer rates compared to control plot, 50% reduction on all other crop protection inputs)

Application: 1 soil, 2 foliar applications

Conclusions: The treated plot, with a reduced rate of fertilizer yielded 16 Bu/acre more rice compared to the control plot. There was no difference in weed pressure from both tests.

1996

KEY RESULTS:

  • 15 Bu/acre yield increase
  • $63.09/acre more profit
  • Lower input costs
 
Treatments: Control plot (grower's standard fertilizer and crop protection program); Agri-Gro plot (25% reduction in fertilizer rates compared to control plot, 50% reduction on all other crop protection inputs)

Application: 3 foliar applications

Conclusions: For the 3rd straight year, the treated plot, with a reduced rate of fertilizer has out yielded the control plot and proven to be substantially more profitable to the grower.

KEY RESULTS:

  • 7 Bu/acre yield increase
  • $49.59/acre more profit
  • Lower input costs
 
Treatments: Control plot (grower's standard fertilizer and crop protection program); Agri-Gro plot (25% reduction in fertilizer rates compared to control plot, 50% reduction on all other crop protection inputs)

Application: 3 foliar applications

Conclusions: The Agri-Gro has proven to increase yields while allowing a reduction in input costs therefore increasing profits.

1998

KEY RESULTS:

  • 12 Bu/acre yield increase
  • $68.28/acre more profit
  • Lower input costs
 
Treatments: Control plot (grower's standard fertilizer and crop protection program); Agri-Gro plot (25% reduction in fertilizer rates compared to control plot, 50% reduction on all other crop protection inputs)

Application: 3 foliar applications

Conclusions: For the 5th consecutive year the Agri-Gro plot yielded higher with less fertilizer than the control plot. These results translate into substantially higher profits for the grower.
