Penergetic

Observations: Penergetic Application Rates: Penergetic K (8.4 oz./ac at planting) and Penergetic P (4 applications of 2.1 oz./ac – at 15 day intervals). Harvest comparison done by harvesting from 4 plots of 20 feet of row length for each treatment in the field. Carrots harvested were classified into first and second grade and discards/culls. With Penergetic treatment, there were more first grade carrots and fewer discards/culls. The Penergetic treated area produced 38.4% more carrots.

Penergetic

Observations: Penergetic K was used in the planting at the dosage of 7 oz. / acre and Penergetic P was used at post emergence of the culture at the dosage of 7 oz. / acre, divided into 2 applications. The Penergetic k and p used cost $61.35 / acre. Whereas, at $6.75 per box, the 138 extra boxes of carrots produced using Penergetic generated an extra income of $931.50 / acre for a net income (after the Penergetic cost is deducted) of $870.15 / acre. The Penergetic treated field produced 23% more boxes of carrots than the Control. [Currency conversion done at 1.0 US$ : 2.22 BR Real (Jun 10/14).]
