TwinN
Research
As with all new ground-breaking products in the agricultural sector it is important to carry out continued research and to demonstrate and analyse results.
In addition to carrying out continuous internal laboratory research, we have joined forces with a number of research-based organisations such as the Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility Institute (TSBF) in Africa to look at TwinN’s use in subsistence farming. Official independent sugar trials are also being conducted at a sugar research station in Bunderberg in Australia.
Potatoes trial, Polokwane, South Africa
- Trial undertaken by Gustav van Riet (Avello) and Jonathan Etherington (MBFi) compared potatoes treated with conventional fertiliser for the seed bed and top dressing, with potatoes that had received conventional fertiliser for the seed bed and TwinN as a top dressing. The trial results show a 20% increase in yield for the TwinN potatoes.
Maize trial, Kenya, Africa
- Trial undertaken by Zambian growers compared maize plants treated with a top dressing of TwinN compared with plants that had not received a top dressing. See the image opposite for the results, which show a clear increase in plant yield - the TwinN treated cobs are on the right of the image.
Sugar beet trial, Suffolk, UK
- Trial undertaken by UK sugar beet grower compared plants treated with conventional fertiliser for the seed bed and top dressing, with plants that had received conventional fertiliser for the seed bed and TwinN as a top dressing. Click here for results which show an increased yield for the TwinN treated plant.
Springwater Barley trial, North America
Narrabri Cotton Research Station, Narrabri, New South Wales
- Conducting comparisons on TwinN and conventional fertilisers assessing the cost to yield ratio over one cotton season – this trial is ongoing.
