Plant-Stim Delivers Significant Yield Improvement in Lucerne – Naturefarm Trading as EMNZ

This on-farm study looked at the effectiveness of Plant-Stim in Lucerne. Farmer, Murray Weaver, wanted to install Plant-Stim in an existing Lucerne paddock on his Farm outside Loburn, North Canterbury. He was looking to increase the yield of Lucerne out of winter, after a very dry summer and autumn in Canterbury.

Results

To determine the effectiveness of Plant-Stim the farmer left an untreated plot (1.4ha) and 5L/ha of Plant-Stim was applied to a treated plot (4.8ha). The eye was clipped and baleage was done. The GPS contractor was able to determine the greatest yield increase achieved in Plant-Stim where the treated area averaged 8.9 bales per hectare and the control averaged 5.7 bales per hectare. This equates to an additional 50% in YIELD!!!!
