17% Yield Increase & $8,945 per HA Margin Increase In Sandy Soil
Information
This trial was conducted under replicated and randomised conditions to monitor the effect of adding Microsoil liquid fertilisers to the standard farmer practice. Despite the fact that capsicums are a fast growing crop the addition of Microsoil fertilisers still achieved a 17% yield increase. Taking into account the cost of the fertiliser treatments and the yields achieved, the Microsoil treatment achieved the grower and extra $8,945 Gross Margin per HA. Of interest was that the crop was grown in sand which has again proven that the nutrients in Microsoil products are soil stable and resist leaching. Trial conducted by: Valencia Ecosystems.

Improved Soil Health & Stability
17% Yield Increase
This replicated and randomised trial assessed the impact of Microsoil liquid fertilisers on capsicum production alongside standard farming practices. Despite capsicums being a fast-growing crop, the addition of Microsoil fertilisers still resulted in a 17% increase in yield, demonstrating their effectiveness in improving productivity.
Financially, the benefits were significant. After factoring in the cost of fertiliser treatments and the yields achieved, the Microsoil treatment generated an additional $8,945 Gross Margin per HA. This highlights the potential for farmers to enhance profitability while maintaining or even reducing fertiliser inputs.
Another key finding was that the trial was conducted in sandy soil, yet the Microsoil nutrients remained stable and resisted leaching. This confirms that Microsoil fertilisers are highly effective in challenging soil conditions, providing long-term benefits for soil health and nutrient retention.
With strong improvements in both yield and financial returns, this trial underscores the value of integrating Microsoil into standard farming practices. Future research will focus on refining application strategies to further enhance performance, ensuring even greater results in subsequent crops. Trial conducted by: Valencia Ecosystems.
