Potatoes
In 1994, researchers at the Navajo Agriculture Production Industry & New Mexico State University conducted a trial using Menefee Humate™ on potatoes in Farmington, New Mexico.
Protocol:
The trial consisted of two treatments. The first treatment, Control, was the grower’s standard fertility program. The second treatment, Menefee Humate, had 200 lbs per acre of Menefee Humate™ added at planting.
Results:
Treated rows experienced a 5% increase in yield with Menefee Humate™.
Rows treated with Menefee Humate™ were more resistant to fungal disease and grasshopper attacks.
