Muggsy’s Magical Microbes

Here’s yet another case where my favorite microbes, Quick Roots, demonstrated value and ability – a whopping 23 bushel gain! Here is the evidence.

The first photo was June 15, 2012 in Minooka. The corn rows on the left is the control. The corn rows on the right are with inoculated with Quick Roots. The Quick Roots demonstrated less drought stress due to more root proliferation. The right is noticeably healthier, brighter color, taller, and has more open leaves. It is clearly a more robust plant. The control is darker, smaller, and more stressed.

The second photo was taken a month later. Despite the worst drought since 1988, Quick Roots truly allowed roots to explore a greater volume of soil, resulting in higher yield.

The left is the control. The right is inoculated with Quick Roots. Taken on June 15, 2012 in Minooka, IL. Both are the same hybrid, DeKalb 57-50VT3.

This is the same field taken a month later on July 12, 2012. Clearly the Quick Roots side (right) is taking the brutal heat and drought.
