Success stories
The Plantarray platform focuses on the strong correlation between stomatal conductance and transpiration to enhance plant productivity and yield results. It enables objective, accurate, and continuous data collection by simultaneously monitoring multiple plants under different treatments in a greenhouse. In this trial, we simulated nutritional stress conditions by applying 100%, 70%, and 30% of normal fertilizer dosages to measure plant responsiveness, measured by water use efficiency (plant water management), normalized daily transpiration (proxy for photosynthesis), normalized canopy conductance. Plants treated with StimBlue+ yielded consistently higher values when benchmarked against plots with the same fertilisation.
To measure StimBlue+’s effectiveness for cereals, an Independent Research Organization conducted a series of trials in Serbia, a typical area for barley cultivation. StimBlue+ was benchmarked against a control group and a leading biostimulant competitor made of Ecklonia Maxima. The results were evaluated using both quantity and quality processing parameters for barley. This resulted in a 30% (+225$/ha) yield increase compared to competitor at 4L/Ha. At harvest, plots treated with StimBlue+ consistently showed a higher thousand kernel weight for the different trials, leading to better yield outcomes, more robust plants, and avoidance of over-planting (cost-saving). StimBlue+ at 2l/ha outperformed the control and competitor by +3% for the thousand kernel weight, expressed in grams.
Our latest trial to assess the effectiveness of StimBlue+ in strawberry farming under standard maintenance conditions are significant, showing clear improvements in both the quantity and quality of the crop compared to a control group and a leading competitor (species: Ascophyllum Nodosum). Applying StimBlue+ at 4l/ha application offered a 22% increase (+$2,950/ha). The 2l/ha resulted in an 18% increase in economic returns (+$2,400/ha) over the control. The trial showed that plots treated with StimBlue+ produced a higher number and weight of marketable fruits. The 4l/ha application outperformed the control by 21% in the number of fruits and by 13% over the competitor.
StimBlue+ at concentrations of 10% and 5% outperformed two competitors both using Ecklonia maxima, by increasing root numbers by 45% and 35%, respectively. It appears that the optimal concentration for this setup is 10 ml/L.
In this trial, we looked at plant height, cob diameter, and yield. Plots treated with concentrations of 2L/ha and 4L/ha consistently surpassed the control in all the evaluated traits. 2L/ha showed the best results for highest average plant height, cob weight, cod diameter and total yield. Plant height: StimBlue+ 96.4cm vs Control 60cm. Cob diameter: StimBlue+ 17.3cm vs Control 16.4cm. Yield: StimBlue+ 17.1kg vs Control 7.3kg
The experiment demonstrated that the application of StimBlue+ on wheat positively impacted plant growth and yield. The highest application rate (4l/ha) resulted in the most significant enhancement.
This study explored the effects of StimBlue+ on radish growth under varying water conditions. It found that in optimal watering conditions, the StimBlue+ extract increased growth, with an optimal dosage of 2 ml/L. Additionally, in drought conditions, StimBlue+ boosted dry weight and, notably, fresh weight and tuber diameter at 30% water capacity, indicating its potential in enhancing drought resilience in radish plants.
This research study aimed to assess the impact of StimBlue+, on the yield of Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus). Results showed that treatment T2 exhibited the highest total yield, with a remarkable output of 1462g. Following this, treatment T3 produced 844g, treatment T0 achieved 496g, and treatment T1 yielded 470g of Oyster mushrooms.
Attributes assessed include sweetness (brix degrees), yield, weight, and number of fruits per plant. The outcomes show that plots treated with StimBlue+ concentrations of 2l/ha and 4l/ha consistently surpassed the control in all evaluated traits. The longest watermelon was 45cm. The brix degree was between 10.1% (2L/ha) and 11.3% (4L/ha). Yield was between 32.9 kg (4L/ha) and 48.8 kg (2L/ha). The fruits per plant ranged between 3 (4L/ha) and 5 (2L/ha).
