Seasol products Trilogy and Seasol + Calcium were applied to a Kale crop following planting at two intervals. Plot trials demonstrated the crop feed quality improved.
Two applications of Seasol Trilogy and Seasol + Calcium were made at 10L/ha.
Application 1: 19 December 2022
Application 2: 19 January 2023
A fresh weight yield assessment was taken on 8 June 2023, along with leaf samples for foliage analysis on 14 June 2023.
Key Results:
Seasol improved feed quality of NZ Brassica.
Crude protein was higher in Seasol + Calcium (24.5% DM) and Trilogy (23.7% DM) than the control (19.8% DM).
Seasol + Calcium and Trilogy also had slightly higher metabolizable energy, with 13.5 MJ/kg DM and 13.6 MJ/kg DM respectively, compared to the control (13.4 MJ/kg DM).
Both Trilogy and Seasol + Calcium had higher foliage nitrogen levels, with 3.6% and 3.7% N respectively, compared to the control with 3.0% N.
The foliage content of phosphorus, sulphur, zinc, and chloride was also higher in the two treatments compared to the control.

SITUATION: The average of 5 commercial scale field trials in the Mildura and Griffith areas on multiple grape varieties. APPLICATION: Fertigated or foliar sprayed at 5L/Ha or 10L/Ha. Three to eight applications at varying timings. The majority were 5L/Ha at budburst, flowering, and fruit set.
SITUATION: Independent study conducted over seasons 2014 & 15 in Toolangi, Victoria in a commercial strawberry runner nursery. APPLICATION: Pre soaked mother plants overnight in 400:1 solution and 7 monthly applications at 10 Litres /Ha.
