Conduct a trial to determine the benefit of incorporating 1 gallon of Quantum Growth into their Green Pepper protocol (64 oz at transplant, 32 oz at pre-bloom and 32 oz at fruit set).
Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station
The trial used 25% less fertilizer than normally included in the protocol, resulting in a 24% increase in yield and a 30-fold return on investment.
Various potato growers in Sao Paulo, Brazil
In 2010, four potato growers in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil participated in a study to test the benefits of Quantum Growth on their crop. The experiment was supervised by Professor André Palermo Tonietti from UNIPINHAL, University of Pinhal located in the city of Espirito Santo do Pinhal.
Treatment with Quantum Growth improved overall productivity by 31%, providing an increased revenue of R$ 5,513.51. The University concluded that based on the results of the experiment, Quantum Growth Technology successfully demonstrated its potential as a productivity enhancer and results indicate that it can be used on the Brazilian Potato Production System with success.
Each farm was visited 5 times during the experiment. Product was applied according to instructions from Ecological Laboratories, Inc (ELI). In the first visit to the farm ELI representatives explained the application protocol and benefits of Quantum Growth. On the second visit, the potato seeding was performed with the addition of one gallon per hectare of Quantum-VSC to the treated plots. Thirty days later Quantum-VSC was applied again to the soil and after an additional 30 days Quantum-Light was sprayed on the leaves. Plants were harvested 30 days after the last application.
Difference in potato yield between the control section (left pallet) and the Quantum section (right pallet).
The control plants (left) had a smaller root structure with less potato nodes compared to the Quantum plants (right).
Control potatoes are top and right. Quantum potatoes are on the left.
H&R Farms, Glenville, GA
H&R Farms heard of the benefits claimed by users of Quantum Growth products and decided to run a trial. Quantum Growth is a series of beneficial soil and plant microbial inoculants. They are the result of nearly a decade of research and development.
In such a competitive market farmers are always looking for means of assuring and improving their harvest. Squash is produced on over 46,000 acres in the US producing crops worth almost $250 million (2010).
The technical support team at Ecological Labs developed a protocol for inoculating a trial section of the farm with Quantum Growth. The evidence of faster, healthier growth was evident just 16 days after planting. At harvest, the treated crops showed a 30% increase in yield versus control, from 8,800 to 11,424 average pounds per acre. The treated plants appeared significantly healthier throughout the trial. The microorganisms in Quantum Growth work naturally to provide food and energy for plants allowing them to focus on root growth and fruit production. This results in a healthier, heartier plant with increased yields and decreased dependency on supplemental irrigation, fertilizer, and pesticides.
Nolt Farm, Pennsylvania
Using two applications of 32 oz. of Quantum-Light and 32 oz. of Quantum-VSC (at outplanting and first flowering), document appearance and yield differences between treated and control (grower’s best practice).
The Nolt Farm experienced excellent results from the utilization of Quantum-Light® and Quantum-VSC® on a number of crops. They decided to extend the use of Quantum Growth to their tomatoes.
Notable difference in stalk girth and root mass between control and treated. 39% increase in yield from treated area.
