Case Study: Pro-Soil’s Liquid Fertilizer Proves a Profitable Choice for Cotton Production.

Cotton: Liquid Fertilizer Trials Prove Pro-Soil is a Profitable Choice for Cotton Production.

U.S. Cotton Belt — Cotton production has changed dramatically since the introduction of bio-technology and organic liquid fertilizers. Recent advancements are shown in Pro-Soil’s below ground management products. They are the perfect choice for the profit-minded cotton grower who wants to cut costs while maximizing yield and quality potential.

Below ground soil management is part of a new category of agricultural production technology designed to protect and maximize the genetic potential bred into plants.

Pro-Soil’s liquid plant food is a soil activation product designed to enhance root growth, seedling vigor and early reproductive growth, setting the stage for higher yield potential.

A Dramatic Step Forward in Liquid Plant Feed for Cotton Production

Ten years of replicated research data from six liquid fertilizer trials demonstrate the potential for Pro-Soil liquid fertilizers to have a dramatic effect on season-long pest management, overall plant health and growth, and with the ultimate goal of high yield and superior quality cotton fiber.

The field trials measured the effects of Pro-Soil’s blow ground management liquid fertilizer formulas under a variety of conditions on both dryland and irrigated cotton fields located throughout the cotton belt, including thousands of cotton acres in: Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Arizona, and part of Georgia.

To better understand how below ground management and soil activators impact the cotton plant, the research incorporated soil analysis, field monitoring (including onsite petiole testing,) plant mapping and boll analysis.

Researchers also evaluated profitability and annual return on investment were with some startling results:

Treating cotton with Pro-Soil below ground management liquid fertilizer increased yields an average of 20% to 40% — with farmers earning an average return of $7.00 for every dollar invested.

While we’re still researching, application of Pro-Soil Foundation and Triple 3 Vital Boost have consistently resulted in stronger, earlier, more vigorous and uniform seedling emergence, more prolific and earlier root growth; nutrition-controlled plant growth (regulation), higher fruit retention, heavier boll weight, heavier top crop and increased farm profits.

Pro-Soil Liquid Fertilizer on Cotton vs. Conventional

	Replicated Yield Results:
	Using Pro-Soil Foundation, Below Ground Managment Liquid Fertilizer, on Cotton vs. Conventional Treatment
	Texas	Oklahoma	Arkansas
	17% Yield Increase	36% Yield Increase	31% Yield Increase

These results are greater than you would expect, but cotton is very responsive to this program.
