Research
In a 2020 greenhouse trial, PureStart was applied at a rate of 5 gal/acre in-furrow. It was noted the treatment had increased root growth compared to the untreated check.
In 2020 in Tennessee and Wisconsin, PureStart was applied at planting in 2x2 placement at a rate of 5 gal/acre. At harvest, the treatment yielded a 24.8 and 14.2 bu/acre increase, respectively, compared to the treatment that received manure only.
In the same trial, PureStart was applied at a rate of 10 gal/acre in 2x2 placement. At harvest, the treatment yielded a 31.7 and 16.6 bu/acre increase, respectively, compared to the treatment that received manure only.
