Ergozyme Pasture Growth
Microbial spray trial boosts pasture growth
A trial of Ergozyme’s revolutionary plant spray has shown how beneficial it is to farmers, with a significant increase in pasture growth achieved with no loss of quality.
Micromix Aqua Ergo Plus is a powerful and effective crop spray that enhances the soil’s microbiology. By decomposing organic matter, nitrates, phosphates, and minerals in the soil, it enriches the soil and facilitates plant uptake of nutrients.
Ergo Plus is ideal for farmers and growers looking for organic alternative and regenerative farming products.
Trial of Ergo Plus on North Island farms
To show how effective Ergo Plus is in boosting pasture production, we set up a trial at three farms in Reporoa between October 2022 and April 2023. One was a sheep and beef farm, while the other two were dairy farms.
Five hectares were treated on each farm, on paddocks divided into halves. Half of a paddock was treated with a single application of Ergo Plus, and the other half was left untreated.
The ryegrass was measured using a plate metre, which measures the production of grass in kilograms of dry matter (pasture growth) per hectare. The results were impressive: after 212 days, the treated pasture produced on average an extra 8-9 kgs of dry matter per hectare per day, compared with the untreated pasture.
On average this could realise an extra two to three tonnes of dry matter production per hectare per year.
What about the quality of the grass?
With such a significant increase in production, a corresponding decrease in the quality of the grass might be expected.
Herbage testing conducted during the trial showed otherwise when comparing results between treated and untreated pasture. It was clearly evident that while Ergo Plus enhanced pasture growth, quality remained the same.
Compatible with other products
Ergo Plus is compatible with other products you might spray on your pasture, saving a considerable amount of time and money. Just include Ergo Plus with any fertilisers, effluent, or other products you spray, and it will still work wonders.
What’s more, it can enhance those other products to help them work more effectively. Evidence from other countries has shown farmers can save up to 30% in fertiliser costs by applying Ergo Plus.
Not only is Ergo Plus extremely effective at boosting production, but it’s also easy to apply. Just one application per year is enough to replenish the soil’s microbiology and improve pasture growth.
