Field trials 2012

Field trials in 2012 have started already a while ago.

The first results are coming in, so far according to expectations. Versus standard fertilization methods we can reduce fertilizer usage greatly, and still showing the same yield.

Tests have started or being started in many countries across the world, from several countries in the Far East on plantation crops, forestry, fruit, vegetables but also on crops like tea and ornamentals like palms and bulbs. The first series of intermediate results show a good choice in developing products.

In Europe the season is now progressing, the first results from Spain on cauliflower are now coming in. Endive within a few weeks. Broccoli, vineyard, tomato, sweet pepper, strawberry and melon are a few of the crops we are testing in Spain. In many cases at institutes but also at farmers.

In France, Italy, Germany and Benelux a similar story: several trials have started or are being arranged and set up in several crops. Again a mix of institute trials and trials at farmers. Almost all trials at farmers are set up and conducted by expert consultants. Sugar beet, maize, leek, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, tomato, sweet pepper, vineyard, apple, strawberry, melon and bulbs are among them. Also trials in ornamental crops are being prepared or being started.

Approximately 40 products have been developed over the last year. By end of this season we expect to have over 75 different products, dedicated to specific crops in specific regions or general applicable. Sales is expected to start beginning of 2013! Mainly for vegetables, fruit and agriculture but also products for ornamental crops and sportsfields. It will be possible to produce custom made products upon request, conditions will be released around summertime 2012.

Below some recent pictures from our Spanish trials.
