A trial of Hydrocell used at 30% by volume mixed in to the top 100mm of a sandy loam soil was done in a 1000m2 area. The Hydrocell treated area was compared to a control that had twice the amount of irrigation from the starting date.
May 2005 Bulka Bags of Hydrocell were spread out, drench with water and the Hydrocell raked over the top soil. 1 Bulka Bag covered 33 m2 area to get 30% by volume of Hydrocell to the top 100mm depth.
The Hydrocell was then rotovated in to the top 100mm of the sandy loam soil with 1 pass of the rotary hoe.
1 month after Grass seed was broadcasted over the control ( left) and Hydrocell treated (right). The strike rate for seed germination was significantly different and the control had to be over sown again. (NB: The Hydrocell treated area had half the amount of water.)
After the Spring Carnaval season, both areas looked similar after recovery the only difference was only half the water was used for the Hydrocell treated strip.
June 2006 comparison shows the Hydrocell treated area looking more vibrant and healthier due to the Hydrocell effects. Still only half the water is being used for the Hydrocell treated area. |
