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.

The 4 different applicationsThe 4 different applications
Trial #1 received the recommended 3 liters/ha Of CellxCell and Trial #1 received the recommended 3 liters/ha Of CellxCell and recommended 6 liters/ha of Mircrohumaterecommended 6 liters/ha of Mircrohumate
Trial #2 received the recommended rate of Microhumate onlyTrial #2 received the recommended rate of Microhumate only
Trial #3 received half the recommended rate of Cellxcell and half Trial #3 received half the recommended rate of Cellxcell and half the recommended rate of Microhumate the recommended rate of Microhumate
Trial #4 received half the recommended Microhumate onlyTrial #4 received half the recommended Microhumate only
All areas received a second application of CellxCell (only) @ 3l/ha All areas received a second application of CellxCell (only) @ 3l/ha at 5/9/07at 5/9/07
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.

Trial mark
The first comparison was between 2 heads taken at random from Trial #1 and the West control
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)
Root mass sample comparison between treated (Trial area #1 left) and West control area (right)
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
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.)
