EM Fert Enhance Development Trials

This Trial was conducted by Mike Daly at Lincoln University (Nov-Jan 2014), with guidance from Dr Tim Jenkins. The trial had 10 replicates, and was maintained and harvested by technician, Dr Sonya Olykan (BHU, Lincoln University), and the data analysed by Dr Tim Jenkins.
The test crop was triticale. The results showed that EM Fert Enhance gave a statistically significant increase in yield (5% significance). In treatment (Fert Mix) 1 we saw a 13 % increase on the treatments that used EM Dry with 10kg per ha slightly out performing 5kg per ha.
