| Farm: | Westham Island Farm, Ladner, BC, Canada |
| Grower: | Gordon Ellis |
| Acreage: | 60 acres |
| Plot size: | 5 acres |
| Crop: | Potato |
| Products Used: | VegeMax + Nutripower (5 foliar applications) |
| |
| Observations: After about 2 weeks of application of VegeMax + NutriPower, I noticed a substantial difference in the color of crop; it turned lush green and the size of leaves were also visibly bigger in the treated section. I applied 5 foliar applications of VegeMax + NutriPower from the 6 leaf stage at weekly intervals. Maturity in the treated section was slower than untreated crop; but that gave the crop a chance to build its nutritional reserves that lead to a substantial overall difference in quality and production. Potatoes were smoother than the untreated or conventional crop and were also very tough. They were nicely tied together in a bunch and the good thing observed was the uniformity in the fruit in the treated section. The untreated section had high variation in size whereas the treated one was very uniform. This helped me in getting a better price due to better quality. |

| Comments: I have been growing potatoes since my childhood while working along with my father on this family farm. Using BioFert's products was indeed a great experience. BioFert Manufacturing Inc. showed me that there is always a chance for improvement. Out of my 60 acres I had only tried the product on 5 acres and next year I will be applying the same fertilizer program on a bigger scale. I used less ground fertilizer by using BioFert's environmentally friendly products which not just gave a better crop & profit but also helped me in doing my part towards helping the environment. |
