Using AGGRAND to Grow Cabbage

Cabbage Fertility Experiment

To determine how balanced nutrition programs
increase the productivity of crops and vegetables,
AGGRAND scientists compared petrochemical
fertilizers with AGGRAND fertilizers. In one
AGGRAND experiment conducted in the AMSOIL
Growth Center, cabbage fertilized with AGGRAND
produced larger, more flavorful heads compared
to those produced by Miracle Gro®.

Natural Fertilizer were mixed with one gallon of
water to be applied to the media and to the leaves.
For the Miracle Gro® treatments, one teaspoon of fertilizer
was mixed with one gallon of water and
applied to the media as stated in the directions.
For the banded treatment at planting, two ounces
of the new 4-3-3, two ounces of AGGRAND 0-12-0
Liquid Bonemeal and one ounce of the newly formulated
AGGRAND 0-0-8 Natural Kelp and Sulfate
of Potash were mixed in one quart of water. This
mixture was placed into a trench below and to the
side of the roots. The additional AGGRAND treatment
(root feeding plus foliar plus band) would
tell the scientists whether the additional products
and treatments (AGGRAND Plus) were effective in
obtaining even higher yields than the single product
and treatment (AGGRAND).
The AGGRAND and AGGRAND Plus treatments
both produced highly significant increases in mean
head weights over the Miracle Gro® treatment (see
bar graph). The AGGRAND treatment produced a
308% increase in mean head weight and the
AGGRAND Plus treatment produced a 379%
increase in mean head weight. The AGGRAND Plus
treatment also produced an increase of 71% in
mean head weight over the AGGRAND treatment.
The take-home message tells us that AGGRAND
is more effective than Miracle Gro® even when the
AGGRAND plants are grown in soilless media. In
addition, the use of banded and foliar applications
with a combination of AGGRAND products are
effective in obtaining even higher yields than soil
applications of one AGGRAND product alone.
