Soil type: Unknown
Experimental design: A small plot trial, using 30 m2 plots and three replicates, was conducted on edible amaranth to determine the effect of Vitazyme on crop yield. Three plots were treated with Vitazyme, and three were left untreated.
Fertilizer treatment: For 30 m2, 48kg of chicken manure, 2 kg of “thermophosphate”, and 2 kg of organic fertilizer mixed with N-P2O5-K2O fertilizer.
Vitazyme treatments: (1) a seed treatment of 10% Vitazyme by wetting the seeds and drying, repeated three times; (2) soil and foliar treatment of 3 ml in 3 liters of water, 7 days after planting; (3) foliar treatment of 3 ml in 3 liters of water, 14 days after seeding.
