BiOWiSH Technologies, Inc. engaged Helena Agri-Enterprises, LLC as a third party Contract Research Organization (CRO) to conduct a study to determine the effects of BiOWiSH® Crop Liquid coated onto urea to create an Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer (EEF) for rice production grown in a continuous flood system in California.
The trial compared four treatments:
• Control, Standard Regional Fertility Program
• N Optimized Fertility Program + BiOWiSH® Crop Liquid
• Control + Stabilized Nitrogen Technology
• Control + Controlled Release Polymer Coated
The study determined that the N Optimized Fertility Program + BiOWiSH® Crop Liquid program optimized yield potential in rice by improved nutrient uptake, which led to an increased return on investment in this study.
