Corn

Treatment Goals

• Increase weight and yield of maize

• Increase volume and size of root

Treatment Design

• Temporary crops and opencast

• Treatment Area: 3 Ha

• Control Area: 5 Ha

• Corn Species: Cimarron

• 125 grooves per ha, with 90,000 plants per hectare

• The treatment was started 1 month after planting

Application

• Dosage: 1 Gallon ACF-SR per month/ha

• Only 2 applications made in this trial

• Application by tractor gable-watering​​​​

• Control plants produced only primary roots while the treated plants grew secondary roots

• ACF-SR Plants had improved health and better anchor and nutrient uptake

• More radical root hairs

Results

• –Improved quality of root

• –Secondary roots provided better anchorage and greater plant nutrition

• –Thicker and taller stems, greater mass

• –Higher yields per hectare, registered harvest record for Rancho 15 ton /Ha.

• –Increased production by 28.5%
