Nature’s Source Trial Results Published

Ball DPF released the results of several research trials and impact studies for its Nature’s Source Plant Food, including a yield comparison trial for strawberry production where Cumulative Marketable Production by Pick Day showed a 45 percent increase with Nature’s Source when combined with half the grower standard nitrogen rate.

The study by Holden Research and Consulting compared full-rate treatments of Nature’s Source Organic Plant Food 3-1-1 foliar applications and Nature’s Source Professional 10-4-3 in the soil with half nitrogen, to the grower standard of 175 pounds of total nitrogen per acre with half-rate Nature’s Source, and resulted in 60 percent greater net return dollars due to the 45 percent greater yield.

“This research trial shows our agriculture customers the effectiveness of Nature’s Source products,” says Chance Finch, General Manager of Ball DPF. “Getting a higher yield while using less chemicals provides a benefit to both the bottom line and the environment.”

Nature’s Source Plant Food contains oilseed extract, a natural source of plant nutrition. For more information and to download the full research, visit www.naturessourceplantfood.com.
