GERMINATION OF SEEDBED (WITHOUT MINERAL POWDER)
GERMINATION OF SEEDBED (WITH MINERAL POWDER)
SEEDBED WITHOUT MINERAL POWDER, OBSERVE THE EMPTY SPACES WHERE THE SEED DID NOT GERMINATE
THE SAME FIELD WITH MINERAL POWDER, FURTHER IN CROP CYCLE
ROOT OF A PLANT FROM THE SEEDBED WITH MINERAL POWDER (IN BACKGROUND) DURING THE FIRST DAYS,THERE ARE NO EMPTY SPACES LIKE IN THE SEEDBED WITHOUT MINERAL POWDER.
PLANTS FROM THE SEEDBED, CONTROL ON THE LEFT VS TEST WITH MINERAL POWDER ON THE RIGHT, OBSERVE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE ROOT BALL OF THE PLANT
SEEDBED WITHOUT MINERAL POWDER (IN FOREGROUND) VS. SEEDBED WITH MINERAL POWDER NEXT TO IT (BEHIND)
SEEDBED WITH MINERAL POWDER
TRIAL RESULTS:
1. Application rate of 2.68 – 3.57 lbs./acre.
2. Crop cycle shortened by 14 days.
3. Seed germination rate increased by 64% to 98%.
a. Germination rate without mineral powder: 60%
b. Germination rate with mineral powder: 98%
4. Production increased by 20% in test field using Andean Mineral Powder.
