facilities by an entity independent of Ambrosia Technology.
Sea-Crop is approved
for use in certified organic farming and has been approved as a mineral
supplement in animal nutrition.
Field Trial at Lousiana State
University
Corn: Two
tests treated with 2 gallons per acre and 4 gallons per acre gave
increased
corn harvests of 58.15% and 94.49%
respectively.
Eugene, Oregon Tests
Sweet
corn was planted and treated in the furrow with Sea-Crop at the
rate of 1.8 gallons
per acre. Scotts Osmocote N-P-K fertilizer
was used
on both the untreated control and treated tests. After 115 days the
plants were
dug up, the roots washed and the entire plant desiccated so that dry
matter
weights could be compared. The percentage gain of the Sea-Crop treated
plants
as compared to the controls is listed below.

Strawberry (June bearing) bare root
starts were transplanted into one gallon
pots. Scott’s Osmocote N-P-K fertilizer
was used on
both the untreated control and the treated tests. On the sixth day
after
transplantation the treated plants received Sea-Crop at the rate of 3
gallons
per acre. The treated plants produced fruit earlier as well as later in
the
season with significantly more fruit during the peak harvest season.

Morocco
University Test
Eggplant sets
were planted in 5 liter pots and 8 replicates were then treated with a
foliar
spray of Sea-Crop that was diluted to a 1% concentration. There was no
increase
in fruit set but the fruit of the treated plants were 79.5% larger by weight
giving a 79% increase in yield
over the control.
