Field Corn
Between 2012-13, an independent grower conducted a trial using GrowPlex™ on field corn in Muscatine, Iowa.
Protocol:
The trial consisted of one treatment each year. The first treatment, Control, included the Grower’s standard fertility program. The second treatment, GrowPlex, included the Grower’s standard fertility program and GrowPlex® added at a rate of 4 oz per acre at planting and 4 oz per acre at sidedress.
Observations
Treated rows experienced as much as a 13% increase in dry bushel weight with GrowPlex® compared to the control.
Treated rows experienced early health and vigor, which carried through to harvest and resulted in higher yield and net return.
