Other trial notes |
Soil ameloriation, nutritional defincincies such as copper and potassium and treatments that effect ice nucleating bacterica levels have been linked changes in frost damage. Used 16 different foliar applications around booting, mechanical defoliation at GS31 and nutritional applications at sowing. Products will only be indentified by their proported benefit eg ice nuclating bacteria reduction, trace element application etc. Trial impacted by any unusual or adverse factors: Frost |
