Trial: BlueBerries

Test Date: October - November 2023
Location: Kingsburg, CA

This trial assessed the effectiveness of NanoCrop, ColloidalSea, MacroMag, and MicroPro products in blueberry cultivation.

Treatment Overview

  • NanoCrop Application Ratio: Applied at 1 quart per 100 gallons as a surfactant.
  • Micronutrients Usage: For this study, MicroPro and ColloidalSea were each applied at 2 qt per acre, and MacroMag and NanoCrop were each added at 1 qt per acre.

Study Highlights

  • NanoCrop’s Surfactant Efficacy: Demonstrated effective surfactant properties in the study.
  • Length Increase Significance: The most notable trait was the sizable increase in the length of blueberry shoots.
  • Brix Analysis in Dormant Phase: Brix values are static due to plants’ dormant growth phase, but nutrient uptake remained consistent with active growth.

Study Conclusions

The trial data highlights the benefits of NanoCrop, ColloidalSea, MacroMag, and MicroPro for blueberry farmers. The blueberries, treated while entering dormancy, showed substantial shoot length and growth, demonstrating the effectiveness of these products. Remarkably, there was a notable uptake of nutrients and new growth during the dormancy phase, which is typically uncommon. This evidence further supports the surfactant properties of NanoCrop and the capacity of MacroMag and MicroPro to enhance blueberry cultivation.
