This on farm trial looked at the performance of Plant-Stim on Lucerne. The Farmer, Murray Weaver, wanted to apply Plant-Stim to an existing Lucerne paddock on his Farm outside of Loburn, North Canterbury. He was looking to boost Lucerne yield coming out of winter, after a very dry summer and autumn in Canterbury.
Results
In order to determine the effectiveness of Plant- Stim the farmer left a considerable strip untreated (1.4ha) and 5L/ha of Plant-Stim was applied to the treated area (4.8ha). The lucerne was mowed and made into baleage. The contractor via GPS was able to determine a huge increase in yield was achieved for Plant-Stim with the treated area averaging 8.9 bales per ha and the control averaging 5.7 bales per ha. This equates to over 50% extra in YIELD!!!!
