Production Comparisons

ABSTRACT |
||||||||||||
|
Note: Spinach is a non-mycorrhizal plant. The benefits attributed to Spinach were due to other biotics present in BioVam.
An experiment was conducted to determine potential production benefits when
using the BioVam Inoculate on Fresh Market Spinach. |
||||||||||||
|
EVALUATION |
||||||||||||
|
At the single cut harvest the roots of the spinach plants were weighed separately
from the marketable stems and leafy tops. Phytotoxicity ratings
for foliage were recorded on 3 separate dates. Duncan's MST was used
for analysis of the data. |

|
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION |
||||||||||||
|
Observations made by the grower three days prior to harvest indicated a
color differentiation between the two treatments; the inoculated section
being a lighter, brighter green color. This may have been due to the difference
in Nitrogen uptake or the inoculated area's reaction to over-nitrification. |
||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||
| Due
to the various uses, multiple harvests and packaging of the same areas in
both plots, cost benefits for the increase in tonnage were not available.
When comparing the root mass production differences between the two treatments,
BioVam (1.96oz/9.9sqft) with the non-inoculated (1.211 oz/9.9sqft) (38.3%
increase) there is some suggestion of a tolerance by the organism for certain
nutrients heretofore alleged non-existent. No phytotoxicity was observed
on the leaves in any of the treatments throughout the test. CONCLUSION Data from the experiment indicates a significant difference as well as a definitive economic benefit due to the increase in total crop tonnage by the BioVam Inoculant. If cultural practices for nutrient input had been modified perhaps some rather significant savings might have been realized. Individual Grower advise indicates that certain phosphoric additives (foliar applied) would not be discontinued due to disease prevention measures (Blue Mold). This researcher feels that the best method to equate and evaluate fertilizer savings is to contract with a commercial sustainable or organic grower. Conventional growers are not set up with their cultural system to decrease inputs when using aqueous applications. This is a big problem. The single fact that the grower requested an additional test be initiated for a controlled harvest evaluation indicates a significant financial edge when using BioVam. |
