Average of All Crops
The above bar chart encompasses over 60 different research trials that Wolf Trax has done, either privately or through third party sources. A germination count of PROTINUS-treated seed versus an untreated check was done at a prescribed date after initial emergence (this date varied by trial and by crop type). When averaged out, PROTINUS-treated seed had 13% higher germination rates than the untreated check. This demonstrates that PROTINUS-treated seed can give earlier and more consistent germination, allowing the crop a good, strong start.
Summary of Trial Results
PROTINUS has an extensive research and evaluation program, spanning many countries, soil conditions, climatic conditions and crops. Following is an example of the different crops and conditions that germination counts for PROTINUS-treated seed has been tested under.
- Crops: Alfalfa, Bermudagrass, Corn, Cotton, Small Grains and Soybeans
- DAE: Ranges from 2 to 14
- Soil Conditions: nutrient poor and nutrient rich combinations of clay and sandy loam soils
- Climatic Conditions: normal (ideal), cold nights/warm days, cold soil, deep seeded cold soil, drought (normal watering to a certain stage and then water withdrawn until the wilt stage) and dry seeding conditions
