South African Greenhouse Trials of Black Urea

Pot trials were conducted at the research farm of the University of Pretoria in order to establish the efficacy of Black Urea compared to normal granular Urea, as sources of nitrogen on maize (corn) production.

Black Urea Demo Griffith Summit Ag

Trials was placed on a commercial cotton farm near Narrandera, NSW. Black urea was used as the upfront source of nitrogen for cotton with a long cotton rotation history. The rest of the field was treated with standard urea.

Black Fertilisers Trial in Zimbabwe

A study conducted in northern Zimbabwe by ART Research and local fertiliser distributors, set to determine the most effective nitrogen rate applied as
Black Urea, and to compare the effects of Black DAP versus non-coated DAP.

Black Urea in Sugar Cane

High fertiliser prices have significantly impacted the production economics
of sugar cane. The grower needed to find a way to improve profits in order to remain
viable. He used Black Urea® at 73% application of the usual granular Urea practice.

Black Urea The Best On Earth 2 Trials

Trials were conducted on the property of Mr Russell Dent at “Oban” Jimbour, to test the performance of Black Urea against normal Urea on a crop of winter Kaputar Barley (Feed Barley).

Wheat Nitrogen Trial Gunnedah

A Grower replicated field trial on winter wheat crop trialing Black Urea against standard urea and other coated urea products. Yield, quality and crop return/profits per product applied at the varying rates recommended by the manufacturer was analysed.

Improved Nitrogen & Phosphorus Efficiency

The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the effect of Black Urea® applied at 66% + Bang P™ in-furrow. The normal Urea was removed from the in-row treatment and replaced with 66% Black Urea®.

Enhance Max™ Research & Trial Data

Biostimulants with NH3 - 3 Year Study Brookglen

A three year commercial scale demonstration in irrigated cotton has produced equivalent yields to usual practice even when reducing application rates by 20%. This has reduced the cost of nitrogen per production unit (bales of cotton lint) by >15%.
This improved nitrogen use efficiency not only improves the growers’ production economics, but improves global goals by directly impacting the reduction in carbon footprint due to fertilizer use.

Ventura TOA - Strawberries 1

At a cost of US$80/acre, the first TOA increased nett return to the farmer by $1,145/acre (1,356%ROI).

The second TOA at a cost of $60/acre increased profit by $1,048/acre (1,653% ROI).

2 Ventura TOA - Strawberries Celery Report (3)

Refinement methods have allowed the latest generation of Technical Organic Acids (TOA) to resolve the reliability in field results from basic leonardite extractions (humic, fulvic acids).

Two market leading products are independently tested over 4 crop rotations, under scientifically valid and commercial relevant field conditions, to increase the production of a strawberry-celery-celery-
strawberry production system.

USDA Cotton Study Summary ENHANCE® THA

The conclusion of this study shows that Enhance® 12% THA is the only Humic Acid concentrate out of approximately nine that were tested that will give predictable replicated results.
