China

The Jiangx Agricultural University in China conducted an independent test on the effects that SumaGrow® products had on cotton. No NPK was used in this trial; just a product containing SumaGrow® and a control with no inputs. The SumaGrow treated cotton yielded 23 percent more cotton than the control and the lint yield increased by 28 percent.

Louisiana

The use of a product containing SumaGrow® in combination with a 75 percent reduction fertilizer out-yielded the grower standard (100 percent fertilizer) by 63 pounds per acre. The 50 percent reduction in fertilizer plus a SumaGrow® containing product produced 30 pounds per acre more than the grower standard. Additionally, the treated plants had better development and size.

North Carolina

These field trials were conducted on 138 acres of cotton in Northeast, North Carolina. The farmer also raises chickens so he applied 13 tons of chicken litter, 40 units of nitrogen, and 25 units of sulfur to 73 acres and tested that against SumaGrow® on the remaining 65 acres. These SumaGrow® acres did not receive any fertilizer at all. At the end of the test, the SumaGrow cotton was higher quality, higher strength, and had a lower percentage of trash than the fertilizer-treated acres. This translated into an increased profit for the farmer of 77 percent.
