| Ginger | | | Kevin Kirkwood of Gympie not 'ginger' about applying Profert. | | | | | Outcome | | | His crop jumps away now. | | | |
| Background | | | Kevin states he has used Profert and Xtend for twelve years now after seeing a real difference with his crops from his first usage. | | | | What we recommended | | | Kevin originally had a major nematode problem in certain paddocks (he had previously used Bayers Nemacur® @ 12.5% label rates with reasonable results - at $800/ha) | | | | Results achieved | | | When asked what was the improvement to his crops Kevin's answer was "My ginger grew better and stayed green longer. The ginger rhizomes were fatter and juicier" | | | "I'm now selling to the Melbourne markets as 'Techno-Organic' at premium prices". | | | When asked if he would he continue to use Grow Green products he said "I think it's very good, it's the only fertiliser I use now. The crops jump away now" | | | He will continue to use it as it costs no more than his old fertiliser program and his "soils look and feel better" | | |

| | | | 1. | Use Profert @ 7ml/ha with Xtend at 1ml/ha as a spray in a minimum of 100 litres of water every 14-30 days. | | | | | | 2. | Kevin used Profert at 50 litres /ha 2 weeks before planting and he reapplied it at the same rate every two weeks. | | | | | | 3. | He also uses Soil Reviva (fine) as complete slow release fertiliser and soil conditioner | | | | | | | | |
