Agricenter Wheat Trials

In the fall of 2021, AgriTec was approached by Agricenter out of Memphis, TN to run trials on our products. The trials were led by Bruce Kirksey at Agricenter and Jonathan Barrett at AgriTec. The trials were conducted on 5 different plots with one control plot. All plots started with a 5.4 PH.

Trial Date: 11/17/21 to 6/21/22

Analysis

The soil on these plots started with a higher concentration of nitrogen, which is why little was applied during application. Each plot had four sections that had individual yields. What you see above is the average between those four sections. Plot 5 had an average yield of 98 bushels, but the highest yield in that section was 104 bushels. According to the USDA, the national average for winter wheat in 2021 was 47.9 bushels per acre. With the right application of nutrients, AgriTec, with the full program, was able to double the yield of the national average.
