The lower root length in the Humifirst WG + Intake is due mainly to accidental root cutting during collection

Results: Humifirst + Intake vs Control (04/12/17)
Control Humifirst WG + Intake
Increased Root Length Increased Root Branching Increased Root Biomass

Conclusion
Humifirst WG increased Roots +6 %
Humifirst WG + Intake increased Roots +1.4 %
Unfortunately final Yield was not collected
The Agronomist and the Farm Manager both commented separately that the
treated Broccoli was the best blocks this year
Recommend repeat the trial so final yield can be calculated

Humifirst WG 2.5 kg /ha + Intake 3 L /ha x2
Increased Root Length & Branching
Increased Root Biomass
Provided best block of Broccoli on the
farm this year
