Field Study

Vitazyme on Wheat – 2010, Pitrufquen, Chile

In this Vitazyme study in Chile, evaluating the effects of the product on wheat treated with 1.0 and/or 1.5 liters/ha applied once or twice with either 50% or 100% of the recommended N, the 1.0 and 1.5 liter/ha rates applied at the BBCH14 stage produced 7 to 8% yield increases. The 1.5 liters/ha rate applied twice (100% N) produced a 4% yield improvement, while a 50% fertilizer N
reduction increased the yield by 8%; this was the most profitable treatment of all seven. Interestingly, these yield responses were not a reflection of tillers per plant, since all Vitazyme treatments reduced tillering. The yield improvement must have been due to larger heads and greater grain weight from Vitazyme application. This study proves the effectiveness of Vitazyme use on wheat in Chile.

Researcher: Enrique Babyleck
Variety: Kumpa
Soil type: unknown
Experimental design: Plots in a wheat field were marked with stakes, and seven treatments of Vitazyme, applied early and/or late, and with or without reduced N fertilizer, were added to determine the effects of these treatments on wheat growth parameters and grain yield.
Fertilizer treatment: according to recommendations
Vitazyme treatments: (1) 1.0 or 1.5 liters/ha on the leaves and soil at BBCH14, on June 26, 2009; (2) 1.0 or 1.5 liters/ha on the leaves and soil at stage BBCH 31, on October 5, 2009.
