- Results of field trials in
Mexico
- Significant sales of N-Hibit in South Africa
Plant Health Care
(AIM: PHC), a leading provider of natural products for plants
and soil, is pleased to report the independent results of its
second significant grower field trials of Myconate with wheat in
Mexico. The results provide further compelling evidence of yield
stimulation in this crop.
These large scale trials conducted by local growers on areas
varying from 3.4 to 6.25 hectares showed an average yield
increase, over the control, of 20% with a range of 8% to 31%
increases. The Myconate was seed applied using normal seed
coating applications for Mexican agriculture.
Importantly, the largest yield increases recorded were on fields
that were treated with Myconate in the trials a year prior,
providing evidence that the effect of Myconate is repeatable
when used annually.
John Brady, Chief Executive of Plant Health Care commented:
“These results are again outstanding and provide further
validation of the benefits of Myconate technology for cereal
grains, taking us another step closer to commercialisation of
the product”.
Plant Health Care also announces a further advance with the
launch of its Harpin based N-Hibit product, which has been sold
for grain application onto some 40,000 acres of cereal in South
Africa. This opens a new front for the sale of Harpin which has
traditionally been linked to the corn, soya bean and cotton
markets. |
