3r agrocarbon authority test

AGROCARBON EFFICIENCY TRIALS and AUTHORITY

PERMIT PROGRAMME (2005-2009)

For validation of the AGROCARBON effects several open field and green house cultivation tests have been executed in Germany, Netherlands, Israel, Italy and Hungary. Applied doses was 400 – 1000 kg/ha.

The detailed Authority permit test investigation has been going on in four years (2005-2009) by different independent and accredited departments from the HU national Soil and Plant Protection Authority under EU legislation.

(1) HEALTHY PLANT in NURSERY: Already in the seedling period was realized >20 mm size differences benefit for the PROTECTOR products in greenhouse nursery. Stronger plant at nursery stage provides life time positive effect for plant growth.(2) FIRST HARVEST GREEN HOUSE YIELD INCREASE: >300% related to the non-treated control PROTECTOR treatments resulted earliness concerning yield results at the first harvest.(3) SECOND HARVEST GREEN HOUSE YIELD INCREASE: >50% increased plant yield and quality after PROTECTOR treatment in several greenhouse vegetables cultivation.(4) OPEN FIELD YIELD INCREASE: extra surplus yield 2.5-5 tonnes/hectare. Significantly increased plant yield and quality after the PROTECTOR treatment in open field cultivation with several vegetables test plant, such as tomato, green pepper, broccoli and Chinese cabbage.



(5) FRUIT QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS: the >10% increased mineral and nutrient content resulted highly improved fruit quality, better taste and extended fruit storage performance. On the basis of extended soil analysis PROTECTOR treatment influenced favourable the soil structure and increased plant available soluble macro and micro nutrient content of soil.

(6) RESTORATION OF SOIL NATURAL BALANCE and IMPROVEMENT of PLANT NATURAL RESISTANCE: AGROCARBON treatment influenced favourable the soil structure, increase P2O5 availability with >20% and increased the plant available soluble macro and micro nutrient content of soil. The treatment enhanced the plant natural biocontrol ability.

AGROCARBON Dissolution of phosphorus from Agrocarbon

(University of Reading Soil test programme)

Differences between the properties of AGROCARBON and GAFSA reactive Phosphate Rock - Summary of the results:

•The soils and circumstances when PR is useful as a fertilizer applies also to Agrocarbon. •In a direct comparison with GPR, which is well-characterised and widely accepted as a relatively soluble PR, Agrocarbon was much better in providing available P, as assessed by the Olsen method.•Agrocarbon can supply some available P immediately after application to soils of high pH, in which GPR was ineffective.

FINAL CONCLUSION: ABC is predicted to have a wider range of application than PR
