Story About a extreme draught farmer that doubled his soybean crop with just 3/10 of an inch of rain!
It started about spring of January 2007, when a friend of the family stopped by after hearing about the Adjuvant we had trailed on many crops around the world. Well it was lucky for us we gave him 4 gallons of a Adjuvant we make out of only farmer grown ingredients. The ingredients are all listed on the US GOV FDA EAFUS as just food additives. We plan to register and sell it as a agri mineral or micronutruent in 2008.
Anyway about 5 months later we get a call from him and he tells us that after 40 years of growing Soybeans he can't believe his eyes. He had mixed the Adjuvant product as an additive with a generic glysophosphate roundup on his Soybeans grown with Northrop King Seeds. He only applied Adjuvant one time and that was when he applied it to the very small soybeans plants.
So we asked why was he so excited and he said, "Your Adjuvant treated plants are growing, and the controls are 30% smaller and yellowed". So we said call us back in a month and let us know what you see next. Well we got that call and he said, "The Adjuvant treated plants had many more limbs and were all bushed out. The control was just a straight stalk, We were starting to think we were into something good again as in Asia. Finally in November when he harvested the Soybeans he gave us the results.
Note: We should add that apparently my Adjuvant prevented generic glysophosphate roundup from tying up the manganese that yellows the plants. The Treated Plants remained Green the whole time. It appears that while the plants are in this yellow state they really don't grow much for about 3 weeks. Herbicides, Pesticides traditionally stunt growth and production.
Soybean are one of the largest crops in the world.
1). Treated acreage about 190 pods per plant, 40% more
2). Untreated acreage about 109 pods per plant, 40% less
3). Treated: 40% more harvest and money vs. untreated soybeans.
4). Farmer had noticed more yield loss over the year from pests eating his Soybeans, and in the treated area he had no yield loss and the leaves had no holes in them.
5). When farmer took Northrup King Group 5, 6, 7 beans to mill he had 54-55 lbs test weight untreated and 57-58 Adjuvant treated on all varietes, thats 3 lbs more per bushels or 5% more income, more than enough to pay for the Adjuvant per acre.
6). 2008 the Farmer will have multiple sprays to increase test weight!
7). More weight means more oil in beans. For those selling beans for "BIO-DIESEL" this could be finacially important!
What really makes this significant is that if you lived in the Southeast USA, There was just 3/10 of an inch of rain or only 9,000 gallons. Our product did all of this with little rain and the farmer never had a follow up foliar or aerial spray during the crop season. Corn, Wheat and Soyebeans usually require at least 500,000 to 750,000 gallons per acre per crop season.
The farmer and his co-op are expanding from trials to production of his 20,000 acres for Soybeans, Winter Wheat and Corn.
