Vitazyme on Bush Beans – 2008, Gladewater, Texas

This greenhouse bush bean study using various proportions of Vitazyme and Seawater concentrate revealed that the 100% concentration of each product produced the greatest dry matter increase. Plant height showed a similar response. There was no consistent pattern of various product proportions producing higher or lower plant heights or dry weights, and doubling the 50:50% Vitazyme:Seawater rate did not result in better plant response; rather, the height and dry weight were slightly, though not significantly, below the control for both parameters. Cold Start instigated a 9% dry weight increase. Most height and dry weight changes were not significantly different from other treatments even though plant height varied by up to 9%, and plant dry weight by up to 18%.

Researcher: Paul W. Syltie, Ph.D.
Variety: Blue Lake
Soil type: silt loam
Experimental design: A replicated greenhouse pot study was designed to evaluate the effect of Vitazyme, Cold Start, and a seawater concentrate on the growth and development of bush beans. Ten treatments with six replicates were utilized, with different proportions of Vitazyme and seawater concentrate for eight of the treatments. The data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance with CoHort software.
Fertilizer treatment: unknown
Vitazyme treatments: Both products were applied at 13 oz/acre total (1 liter/ha), with the exception of Treatment 9 which received twice this amount. The applications were made using 100 ml of a 0.0016% solution to achieve the 13 oz/acre rate, applied to the soil surface of the pots after planting.
