Field Trial Results and Recs

Application of Concentric showed an increase in weight per bunch, number of bunches per vine, and rachis length. The trial took place over two years on Pinot Noir grapes.

This two-year study showed an increase in vigor and marketable yield in green bell peppers. It also showed a decrease in the occurrence of blossom end rot.

This two-year trial showed an increase in yield as well as an increase in the 72-88 size of apple with application of Concentric IN-M1.

Application of Concentric showed an increase in yield and an increase in fruit size. In total, Concentric-treated trees showed a 44.7% increase in yield over untreated trees.

Application of Concentric showed an increase in marketable yield, an increase in “colossal” and medium-sized onions, and a decrease in culls.

Application of Concentric showed an increase in yield, with the increases being seen markedly in the 2 1/4″ to 3″ grade. This translated into a significant increase in revenue for the grower.

Application of Concentric showed an increase in yield in both garlic trial locations.

Application of Concentric showed an increase in yield and a reduction in cull weight. The trial also showed the potential for maintaining yields while reducing nitrogen leaching and runoff through the use of Concentric.

Application of Concentric to organic green bean seedlings during field transplantation improved plant growth and commercial field production.

Application of Concentric IN-M1 showed an increase in magnesium and calcium presence, decrease in nut drop percentage, and increase in yield.

Concentric IN-M1 was applied at three rates throughout the growing cycle, and showed yield increases as well as improvement in pecan quality.

Concentric IN-M1 showed increases in total yield as well as reduction in culls and blemishes in two varieties of potato.

This study demonstrated a significant overall increase in production of broccoli with applications of Concentric. In total, Concentric-treated broccoli out-yielded control plants by 38 percent.

These 2017 trials in Georgia and Arizona showed an increase in yield with application of Concentric. One trial also showed an increase in the number of 45-sized fruit with the use of Concentric.

This 2016 trial at the University of Georgia in Moultrie, Georgia, demonstrates the added benefits of Concentric in production of conventional watermelon.

The data from this trial at a large commercial organic farm shows that treatments with Concentric resulted in a significant increase in pounds per acre of watermelons harvested.

At this trial, conducted with Southeast Ag Research, applications of Concentric on cantaloupes showed an increase in yield.

This 2018 trial showed an increase in yield due to increased fruit size in greenhouse tomatoes with the use of IN-M1(GARDEN SOLUTION®, SYNERGRO®). On average, the treated tomatoes were 6.3% larger than the untreated tomatoes.

This trial showed that applications of Concentric have a positive effect on yield of processing tomatoes. It also showed that tomatoes treated with Concentric had a higher proportion of red fruit than those treated with standard fertility.

This research demonstrated improved production of organic tomatoes with application of Concentric. Levels of nitrogen in tomato leaf tissue were also higher in treated plants, suggesting that applications of Concentric may improve uptake of this critical macronutrient.

The blueberries treated with Concentric were larger and had a greater calcium content than control berries. They also had lower rates of shriveled and dropped berries.

This research demonstrated improved production of Portola strawberries with application of Concentric. The treated strawberries saw a significant yield increase over the control block, as well as an increase in total percentage of marketable berries.

This trial was conducted on Sensation strawberries by Florida Ag Research. Despite adverse weather conditions, strawberries treated with Concentric IN-M1 showed a yield increase of 10.1% over control.

This research demonstrated improved production of Albion strawberries with application of Concentric. The treated strawberries saw a yield increase of 33% over the control block.

This trial showed a 25% yield increase in Concentric-treated plants. It was conducted in conjunction with a MAPAQ initiative to evaluate methods to increase strawberry production between harvests.

This trial on two different varieties of cranberries showed an increase in yield with Concentric IN-M1. The increases in yield translated to increases in return of up to $239.88 per acre for the grower.

This 2017 trial featured applications of Concentric at two different rates, 0.5 gallons/acre twice per month and 1 gallon/acre twice per month. The berries treated with Concentric showed yield increases of 35.2% and 26.5% respectively.

This 2016 trial demonstrated a 31.8% yield increase in Concentric-treated strawberries. These berries had lower mortality rates than the control berries, and increased the grower’s return by over $11,000.

This two-year trial experimented with a variety of Concentric treatment rates on organic raspberries. At the recommended rate of 1 gallon/acre, the treated raspberries showed a 6% yield increase over the grower standard, translating to a return on investment of $7,213/acre for the grower.
