Increasing Rice Yields

The Helena Chemical Company is a leading provider of crop production and crop protection products to the agriculture community in the United States and worldwide. Headquartered in Collierville, Tennessee, the company has been in the business for more than 50 years and has been working on product development and providing research services for more than eight years.

There was a significant effect on yield in this study in treated plots versus the most common practice base fertilizer treatment, with the BiOWiSH® treatment having the highest yield.

Objectives of the Research Study

The objective of this research study was to determine the effectiveness of BiOWiSH® Crop, manufactured by BiOWiSH Technologies, Inc., in the USA, on growth and yield in a continuous flood rice-production system.

 The plant analysis revealed that BiOWiSH® technology can increase yield while maintaining plant nutrient levels. In fact, the treatments showed sufficient Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium levels for a high-quality plant.

Solution

BiOWiSH® Crop is a fertilizer additive that helps increase micronutrient uptake in plants, improves plant vigor and stimulates microbial activity in the soil.
