Report Summary
A field trial in central New South Wales investigated the potential of TM Agricultural, a soil rejuvenator formulated with plant extracts to stimulate beneficial microbes in the soil. The product was tested on a barley crop. Compared to an untreated neighbouring field, the treated barley showed significantly fewer aphids, leading to a cost saving of $15 per hectare for aphid control. Additionally, the treated barley exhibited deeper root systems. While both treated and untreated crops in the current barley trial yielded an average of 6 tonnes per hectare, the treated barley exhibit better resistant toward pests.
These findings suggest that TM Agricultural may offer several benefits for barley such as pests resistant, logging resistant and etc. Increased microbial activity, triggered by the product, which improve soil fertility could explain the reduced aphid infestation and the improved root growth.
