Escolta increases yield!These trials included an untreated, 1 application of Escolta and 2 applications of Escolta treatments. Some trials included untreated and 2 Escolta treatments only. These trials were undertaken to demonstrate disease control, crop greening effects and measure yield benefits.
All crops were assessed by independent crop assessment companies using their industry standard assessment methods. Yields are an average of the combination leaf and bulb measurements expressed in Tonnes of dry matter per hectare.
As an average across all 18 trials, the Escolta treatments resulted in outstanding yield benefits (+15%). The $ value was calculated using a value of 20c/kg for dry matter. Across the majority of trials the Escolta treatments were clearly obvious, with minimal disease present and increased crop greening.
