Orange Trees producing 8 tonnes/ha more & turning the weakest block into the best performing block with an increase of 32% thanks to GuanoBoost!
This Citrus farmer in the Nelspruit area decided to put 100% Organic GuanoBoost to the test on his Oranges.
The farmer followed his usual chemical fertilizer program on blocks 501-504 and added GuanoBoost on block 503 where the Orange trial received three foliar feed sprays of 75L GuanoBoost on the 1.39 hectare block. The Orange Cultivar is Bahianinha and the trees are currently 10 years old.
The first GuanoBoost application of 75L was applied on 23 September 2020. The second 75L application was applied on 21 October 2020 and the third and final 75L spray was applied on 18 November 2020.
All of this resulted in a yield difference of 8 tonnes on Block 503 (GuanoBoost) compared to Block 504. The GuanoBoost block 503 got a total of 99 tonnes VS block 504 which got 91 tonnes. The GuanoBoost block packed a total of 392 boxes, pricing at R120 per box. What does this mean in economic terms to the farmer?
With the current price per box of oranges at R120 for 15.5kg, the farmer will make a total extra revenue of R47,070.97 and the input cost for the 225L GuanoBoost on the 1.39 hectare block 503 was R5,737.50. The ROI ratio for every R1 spent on GuanoBoost = R8.20 in return.
This meticulous farmer guaranteed us that we would not get any results on his farm with GuanoBoost, but he still welcomed us and said we were welcome to do a trial.
Our agent in the Nelspruit area, Jaco van Staden, said that with the inspections, you could not really see that there was a difference between any of the blocks and we had to wait until the very end to see if there was a difference in yield.
The farmer was very surprised to see that there was actually a very big difference between the blocks. According to the 2020 yield, he gave us the weakest block and now GuanoBoost turned it into the best performing block!
The results over the GuanoBoost block VS the controlled blocks presents a significant increase in revenue for the farmer. But how did this take place?
Simple, GuanoBoost causes Nutrient Loading to the plants AND soil. All the essential elements (minerals, fulvic acid, micro, and macro elements) in GuanoBoost exist in the specific form and quantity that plants require for immediate nutritional support. Not only was he giving the trees an essential boost and support, but he was putting the nutrients back into the soil, thereby preserving the soil for future generations.
There is another reason, GuanoBoost works so well when mixed with conventional fertilizers.
GuanoBoost is made from 100% organic GuanoBird manure. Due to the unique diet of the birds our product is rich in natural minerals, micronutrients and macro elements of nitrogen and potassium. Then we take it through a proprietary 14-day automated manufacturing process, where we ferment the Guano into a concentrated liquid, high in fulvic acid.
Fulvic acid enriches cell development in crops, plants and trees, leading to much stronger root growth. This helps the plant absorb more moisture and nutrients, helping it resist stressful conditions, such as cold, water shortage and frost. It is the perfect application to give your crops the boost they need heading into these cold winter months.
It is like a double BOOST of Nutrients!
If you are concerned about trying GuanoBoost, don’t be. GuanoBoost is extremely versatile and it will fit in seamlessly in any new or existing fertilizing strategy.
