Field Study

Vitazyme on Sunflowers – 2011, Russia

This replicated sunflower study in Russia showed that Vitazyme applied at head formation, using either 0.5 or 1.0 liter/ha, greatly improved leaf area (19 to 22%), as well as final yield (13 to 20%), and harvest characteristics such as head diameter, seeds per head, seed weight per head, 1,000 seed weight, and seed weight per head weight. The 1.0 liter/ha rate was superior to the 0.5 liter/ha rate in most cases. Epin-Extra, a commonly used seed treatment in Russia, produced modest improvements in growth and yield, but they were far inferior to Vitazyme responses. Vitazyme is shown to be an excellent management tool for increasing sunflower yields and growth in Russia.
