NutriHold Boosts Alfalfa Yield
NutriHold application resulted in a 50% overall increase in yield across the growing season
On-Farm Alfalfa Trial
This trial was conducted in South Dakota and involved comparing a 30 acre plot of alfalfa treated with NutriHold to a 30 acre control plot that did not receive NutriHold.
Application was performed at the start of the growing season and was applied at a rate of 1 gallon of NutriHold per acre. The product was tank mixed with the rest of the farmer's nutritional program products.
There were three harvests of the Alfalfa during the growing season:
- In the first harvest, the treated 30 acre block yielded 100% higher or double the amount harvested from the non-treated block.
- In the second harvest the treated 30 acre block yielded 50% higher than the non-treated block.
- In the third harvest the
NutriHold treated 30 acre block yielded the same amount of bales as the non-treated block.
The average overall yield increase for the year was 50%, which for the farmer amounted to a $4,200.00 total increase in income for that 30 acre block with only one application of NutriHold.
The hypothesized factors contributing to NutriHold's success at boosting alfalfa production include its multi-functional ability to:
- Increase Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC)
- Chelate Nutrients
- Improve Soil Conditions
- Increase Yields
- Strengthen Root Systems
- Buffer Salt in Irrigation Water
- Reduce Transplant Shock
- Add Humic Acid
- Add Fulvic Acid
- Remove Excess Chemicals in Soils
- Add Beneficial Biological Species
- Add Carbon to Depleted Soils
- Increase Environmental Stress Tolerance
