Here are some recent results using 2 foliar applications of SurgePro@ 2 and 4 ounces per acre with results measured 2 and 3 weeks after initial application on cotton just beginning to square at the time of 1st application.
Dates of Evaluation: July 13th and 14th, 2005.
Weights verified by Brandon Iden, Herbert Williams, Jerry Don Glover, Jackie Warren EVALUATION OF COTTON PLANT DEVELOPMENT AND FRUITING PATTERNS WITH SurgeProVERSUS UNTREATED PLANTS
TAKEN FROM THE SAME FIELD IN EACH CASE. Farmer | Location
| No. Plants | Wt. SurgeProFruit | No. Plants | Fruit Wt. Untreated | H. Williams | Roscoe, TX | 5 | 19.1 gr. | 5 | 14.7 gr. | B. Iden | Big Springs. TX | 6 | 86.5 gr. | 6 | 54.5 gr. | M. Tyler | Lamesa, TX | 3 | 71.7 gr. | 3 | 46.6 gr. | D. Warren | Lamesa, TX | 5 | 31.3 gr. | 5 | 22.9 gr. |

All plants evaluated showed SurgeProPlants had 14% to 18% more total fruiting bodies at this stage.
On HAIL DAMAGED cotton plants, Matt Adams, Lazbuddie TX evaluated 07.13.05
SurgeProTreated, 5 contiguous plants weighed 226.1 gr., avg. wt = 37.68 gr. ea.
Untreated, 5 contiguous plants weighed 163.8 gr., avg. wt. = 27.3 gr. ea.
SurgeProtreated plants averaged 38% heavier, same height as untreated plants, but more robust in general.
On BEANS, R. Barnes, Lazbuddie, TX 1 foliar application of SurgePro@ 4 ozs/ac
Untreated plants averaged 49.6 grams
SurgeProTreated plants averaged 69.9 grams
SurgeProplants were 40.1% heavier by having a more robust development
General Appearance of SurgeProPLANTS compared to Untreated Plants:
Deeper penetrating and thicker Tap Root
Wider extending and thicker lateral feeder roots
Thicker main rachis
Better developed leaves
More Fruiting Bodies of all stages.
SurgeProPlants had bolls, blooms and squares, Untreated had only squares
Conclusion: SurgeProTreated Plants are more efficiently acquiring and utilizing plant nutrients and soil moisture than Untreated plantsand converting these resources into more fruit.
