Roots

Enhances root growth - Kumura were planted in the late Oct 2005. In February of 2006 three applications of ZeroIn were applied to half of the area. Applications were 10 days apart. The harvest trial was done on the 20th March 2006. 2 meters of beds from sprayed and unsprayed areas were dug and weighed. The sprayed area provided 25 lbs of kumura and the unsprayed area provided 20 lbs of kumura. This represents a 25% increase in yield. Carrots grew through the winter and in the spring, after two applications of ZeroIn less than 5% went off to seed. Kiwifruit sprayed twice after picking, the root growth through the autumn and winter was more vigorous, white and straight. (4)

ZeroIn sprayed on potatoes after flowering sped up the withdrawal of the tops into the tubers by three weeks. This resulted in a earlier harvest but also a 25% increase in tuber weight for the same period of harvest. (BdMax newsletter Spring 2007.) (4)

Fruit

[April 2009] We finish harvest early next week. Looks like some bad weather coming around then so we just might make it through. I used Zeroin and FungalMin twice on our red grapes and I am really happy with this and will use it more and again next year. Good ripeness, no splitting and a little dehydration. Very happy. (46)

Just to let you know: I have been using by now 2x ZeroIn on Pinot Noir and my other varieties-Malbec and Viognier- In the last two days we had about 100 ml rain, NO SPLITTING!!!. Pinot Noir is specifically sensitive at this stage, as it is close to ripeness [via <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bdnow/ "><b>BdNow</b></a> on 7-3-2011] (46)
