Results
Grapes: Mike Lane, of Clive River Vineyard, Hawke's
Bay, who grows chardonnay and pinot-noir
grapes for Montana, has noticed an
improvement in his vine growth. The leaves
are shinier and bigger and the grape yields
and ripeness are improved. "We're talking
about 3 to 4 per cent riper, which is
significant,because a 0.1 per cent increase in brix
[sugar content] can be worth $5 a tonne."
Citrus: Gisborne grapefruit, orange, tangelo and mandarin grower Guy Cumming says Agrizest does everything claimed about it. Old grapefruit trees that once produced juicing fruit now have supermarket- quality fresh fruit. His fruit grow with more vigour, their skins are cleaner, they taste better and they have improved colour. "The transformation has been quite remarkable. I'm scared not to use it now," he says.
Dairy: Opunake farmer Mike Walsh sees Agrizest as a useful tool as he moves gradually towards farming organically. He sprayed a couple of paddocks in June. "Man alive, did I see some results," he exclaims. Growth was up to 30kg of dry matter a day, compared with 10kg to 15kg normally. "The grass just took off. Everything grew, clovers and all. And the cows ate it all, right down and evenly across the paddock, even the urine and dung patches." The cows had been dried off,
so a milk- production comparison
was not done.
Kiwifruit: Tauranga kiwifruit grower Peter
Hope says Agrizest saved one gold orchard
he was managing. "The vines were very
yellow and the leaves were small. We were
advised to use Agrizest. Five days later, the
plants were nice and green and the orchard was looking really good." He believes Agrizest is responsible for him receiving his first bonus for early fruit in four years.
