Potatoes / Estima |
|---|---|
| Country / location | England / Suffolk / Sutton Hoo Farms |
| Objectives | Increase yield |
| Haifa product tested | Multi KMg 12-0-42+2MgO (prills) |
| Application method | Side dressing |
| Tested treatment | 250 kg/ha of Multi KMg 12-0-42+2MgO (prills) |
| Control treatment results | 47.23 MT /ha |
| Best treatment results | 51.51 MT /ha |
| Characteristics of best treatment | Yield increase: 4.28 MT/ha (9.06% over control) Grower’s revenue from yield: 192 US$/MT Cost of treatment (application + material US$/ha) 171 |
| Net benefit of best treatment | (4.28 x 192) – 171 = 651 US$/ha |
| Benefit/Cost ratio | (4.28 x 192) / 171 = 4.8 |
| Conclusions |
A consistent yield increase throughout this series of experiments, with Multi-KMg |
