Soysoap Macadamia Nursery Trails
Alomst 300% Increase from 12 to 35 in Brix Level on Macadamia.
Nature and Purpose of the Test
To determine the effect of Adjuvant upon various varieties of Macadamia seedlings in the measurement of their Brix content.
Procedure
Adjuvant was sprayed onto various macademia seedlings at the rate of 1 litre diluted with 500 litres of water.
Adjuvant was applied on August 10, 2006 and re-applied on the 23 rd of August, with the following results:

Observations :
Brix levels seem to rise fairly rapidly [in one case by 100%] and then overtime gradually decrease back to the original starting Brix level.
A fourteen day interval seems to be a good starting point for maintaining Brix levels. The above data also represents different varieties of Macadamia trees,
as the brix level in the last variety Soysoap increased to 35 Brix an exceptionally high figure.
These tests were conducted by a certified SFI (Soil Foodweb Institute) Advisor and internationally recognized authority in
agricultural sciences. He has over 40 years of commercial farming experience.
