BioFlora Improves Yields and Quality for Carrot Farmer
BioFlora conduced a trial on a carrot crop in Lancaster, California to test whether the addition of BioFlora products would increase yield, crop quality and soil tilth.
Our Method
In this trial, the grower used a conventional fertilizer program based on the use of UN-32. BioFlora applied a program consisting of Humega®, GOgreen®, Fulmega™ 1% Mg, BioFlora Seaweed Creme®, BioFlora® 5-17-4, BioFlora® 5-3-2, BioFlora® 0-0-25, Minera™, and DynaMega® 2-1-1 throughout the season.
Our Results
The BioFlora treated field produced 100 tons of carrots per acre against the control field, which only produced 65 tons per acre.
BioFlora treated carrots (left) against Control carrots (right), notice larger size of the taproot.
The BioFlora treated field had a total cost of $389 per acre against the control’s $410 per acre.
The BioFlora treated crop received 66% less nitrogen than the control field throughout the crop cycle. This was mainly due to the reduction of the grower standard program by 50%, when supplemented with BioFlora products.
The BioFlora treated carrots were cleaner (as the produce had less dirt), had longer carrots and greater weight at harvest. The BioFlora field carrots also were able to be pulled out of the soil easier, as the soil was more friable with more aggregates. The treated field also harvested two weeks earlier than the control field.
