During our Farm day in Federalsburg, Maryland at Taylor's Organic Farm SumaGreen displayed the findings of how Phosphorus levels in the soil had dropped while using the SumaGreen Ag with SumaGrow inside product.
Through Tissue and Soil samples taken on Soybeans, Kale, Cabbage, and Zucchini the Taylor Organic Farm noticed significant drops in their Phosphorus levels. They originally used the product to reduce their production costs and to get increased yields but in the state of Maryland the Phosphate Regulations are extremely strict. The Soil samples taken showed a drop of 337 ppm of Phosphorus to 271 ppm. That is almost a 20% drop in Phosphorus!
Add this to the Organic product costs getting cut by $250 PER ACRE! Then throw in the increased yields in the following.
Zucchini: 2012--- 404 1/2 bu marketable product per acre
2013*-- 460 1/2 bu marketable product per acre*
TOTAL INCREASE of almost 13.8%
Soybeans -- 2013 SumaGreen Ag - 42.9 bu per acre
2013 Control - 38.1 bu per acre
TOTAL INCREASE of 12.5% in yield and $28.20 per acre in profit
Cabbage -- No yield increased data yet but savings on growing the cabbage.
2013 SumaGreen Ag treatment + 100 lbs of potash = $173.55 per acre
2013 Organic recommended treatment - cover crop, 2 tons of Microstart 60 (3-2-3) = $405
TOTAL SAVINGS PRE HARVEST $231.45 PER ACRE**
* Noted the farm said marketable crop. They normally had given away 5 1/2 bu each week in the past to a food bank because of non-marketable crop. Also they lost 20% of their SumaGreen Ag crop due to excessive rain. IF we add in the average for the 20% lost that would bring their total harvest up to 575 1/2 bu (20% is equal to 115 1/2 bu's lost). This would make their yield increase 39.5%
** If the yield ends up being the same they would basically PROFIT $231.45 per acre. If there is ANY positive yield difference that just make them even more profit. From the results above we would have to imagine they will get a 15%+ increase in yield which would make their profit over $400 per acre on these crops.
Imagine what SumaGreen Ag can do for your crops (corn, watermelons, flowers, turf, etc). We have similar results in various crops so just ask to see our results. As we say University tested with Real World Results and Mother Nature approved.
