Average of All Crops
The above bar chart encompasses over 90 different research trials that Wolf Trax has done. Projected root area of PROTINUS-treated seed versus an untreated check was calculated by a WinRHIZO machine at a prescribed date after initial emergence (this date varied by trial and by crop type). When averaged out, PROTINUS-treated seed had 16% higher projected root area than the untreated check. This demonstrates that PROTINUS-treated seed sets up a plant for the best fighting chance to optimize growth and productivity to maximize yield potential.
Summary of Trial Results
PROTINUS has an extensive research and evaluation program, spanning many countries, soil conditions, climatic conditions and crops. Following is an example of the different crops and conditions that the projected root area of PROTINUS-treated seed has been tested under.
- Crops: Alfalfa, Bermudagrass, Corn, Cotton, Kale, Orchardgrass, Small Grains, Soybeans and Spinach
- DAE: Ranges from 2 to 14 days
- Soil Conditions: nutrient poor and nutrient rich combinations of clay and sandy loam soils
- Climatic Conditions: normal (ideal), cold nights/warm days, cold soil, deep seeded cold soil, drought (normal watering to a certain stage and then water withdrawn until the wilt stage) and dry seeding conditions
