Russet Burbank trial shows 294% ROI

(Sponsored) Introducing BF4TM, the breakthrough solution for plant and soil health. Recent trial data from North Dakota State University demonstrated an overall 294% ROI, plus the reduced need for nitrogen. The trial, conducted in Inkster, North Dakota, was over four-row plots (20 feet each) arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replicates. 

Results show increased payable yield by 13 cwt./acre plus a decreased cost of nitrogen (46-0-0) by 50#/acre, leading to decreased soil degradation, enhanced nitrogen-use efficiency and supporting more sustainable nutrient management. 

BF4 Kelp Fertilizer is a patent-pending, regenerative, and sustainable kelp extract based fertilizer with a proprietary amino acid complex that stimulates and enhances a plant’s natural cell processes, increasing plant quality and providing for greater yields.

In the soil, the microbial complex (nitrogen fixing bacteria, beneficial bacteria and beneficial fungi) in BF4 Manure Fertilizer, (PowerGrow+ Manure Fertilizer during research trials) stimulates the rhizosphere to increase nutrient availability and root structure while improving soil health year after year.

BF4 has a unique set of attributes that deliver plant and soil health providing an increased abiotic stress tolerance by working simultaneously in the plant and in the soil to increase overall natural processes unlocking the genetic potential of the crop. 

  • Tank-mix compatible — save time and money.
  • Flexible application timing.
  • Treats plants and soil in tandem.
  • Simulates natural plant growth and development.
  • Enhances plant quality.
  • Delivers higher yields.
