The trial area measured 19 x 7 meters on fully tillered wheat (see pics next slide). The wheat was of a uniform quality and well established roots into 1 meter of moisture.

One meter row control areas immediately east and west of the trial area were harvested for comparison.

Approx 8 – 10 days before harvest the wheat trials and controls were sampled. There was little or no VISIBLE difference between the trials seen here on the left and the control areas seen here on the right.

One meter rows were cut at ground level to so the total plant material could be compared and weighed.

The first comparison was between 2 heads taken at random from Trial #1 and the West control

Page 8: RainGrow Fulvic/Humic Wheat Trials atMoree NSW Australia.

The Raingrow stimulated grains were not as ripe, larger in size and there were double the number of grains despite the similar looking heads (52 vs 26) (not all the grains are shown here)

The 4 trials and 2 controls were harvested at ground level and then bagged. It was not until this point that the

WEIGHT differences could be felt.

Light weight uniform bags were used to minimize weighing errors

The best result was from Trial #3 (half rates of CellxCell and Microhumate)

West control weight = 149 grams

Trial 1 = 246 grams

Trial 2 = 233 grams

Trial 3 = 265 grams

Trial 4 = 237 grams

East control weight = 177 grams

After the heads were weighed the best trial and the best control were dried (to

14%), threshed and weighed again.

The samples both looked similar apart from quantity

Page 14: RainGrow Fulvic/Humic Wheat Trials atMoree NSW Australia.

So despite very little visible difference in the early stages the final samples showed a 56% yield by weight

improvement between the best trial and the best control.

Finally Trial #3 and the East control were tested for protein. Trial #3 was 16.5% and East control was higher at 17.8%.

(These results may be a function of delayed ripening in the trials.)
