Trial season 2023 | Herbali | Corn | Aalter (B) | Part 1
- Higher NO3 content
- Higher yield
- More coarse rooting
The results of the test on corn in Aalter give a good idea of the added value of Herbali. An increase in cob weight of 5.49% can be explained by a larger plant diameter (16.67% higher). This also explains the greater height of the plant (7.42% higher). The plant can better provide for the nutritional balance and development of the plant through efficient sap flow. This translates into better (cob) development and an additional yield of more than 13.30%. A parameter of this test is the comparison of the NO3 levels in the plants. Here a difference of 19% is observed. Which means that the treated plant has enjoyed a much higher nitrogen uptake. Herbali not only ensures a clear increase in yield, but also a significantly higher nitrogen absorption. This test took place under the supervision of Intergrow NV.
