  • The AGRARIUS BR treatment led to a 20% increase in the overall yield of Napa cabbage, attributed to improved plant health and faster crop growth.
  • Cabbages treated with AGRARIUS BR were observed to be greener, thicker, and healthier. They also had firmer heads, contributing to a longer shelf life when chilled.
  • The treatment effectively combated common weather-related issues such as bolting, a problem often faced during hot weather, thereby maintaining the quality of the produce.

Introduction

This case study explores the efficacy of AGRARIUS BR Cabbage Field Trials conducted in Ontario, Canada. The objective was to evaluate the impact of AGRARIUS BR treatment on Napa cabbage growth, yield, and quality compared to a control group.

Trial Design

Two separate plots of land, each containing a 100-foot bed with two rows of Napa cabbage, were used for this trial. One plot was designated as the control, while the other received AGRARIUS BR treatment.

Treatment Details

The AGRARIUS BR treatment involved two applications:

  1. First Foliar Application
  2. Second Foliar Application

Data Collection

Four single cabbage heads were randomly selected for evaluation—two from the AGRARIUS BR-treated group and two from the control group.

Results

  • AGRARIUS BR Treated Group: The cabbage heads appeared greener, thicker, and healthier.
  • Control Group: Many of the cabbage heads in this group showed signs of bolting.

Quantitative Analysis

  1. No Bolting: The AGRARIUS BR-treated group showed no signs of bolting, a common problem in hot weather for Napa cabbage.
  2. Firm Heads: The AGRARIUS BR treatment resulted in more firm heads, making for a heavier cabbage that will last longer when chilled.
  3. Weight Increase: The weight of the Napa cabbage treated by AGRARIUS BR increased by 105% compared to the control group.

Overall Yield and Plant Health

There was a 20% increase in yield after using AGRARIUS BR. This was attributed to improved plant health, faster crop growth, increased plant height, plant weight, the number of leaves per plant, and enhanced leaf colour.

Conclusion

The AGRARIUS BR Cabbage Field Trials in Ontario, Canada, demonstrated significant benefits in both yield and quality of Napa cabbage. The treatment effectively mitigated the problems of bolting and withering in hot weather conditions. The treated cabbages were greener, firmer, and heavier, resulting in a 20% increase in overall yield.

The findings of this trial strongly suggest that AGRARIUS BR treatment is effective in improving the yield and quality of Napa cabbage, making it a promising solution for farmers seeking to optimize their crop production.
