Sugarcane/ ROC 10 |
|---|---|
| Country / location | Vietnam / Tay Ninh province |
| Objectives | Increase yield |
| Haifa product tested | Multi-K 13-0-46 |
| Application method | Side dressing |
| Tested treatment | B.D.: SOP, 150 kg/ha S.D.: Multi-K 100 kg/ha @ 60 d.a.p. +150 kg/ha @ 180 d.a.p. + 50 kg/ha @ 270 d.a.p. Current practice is S.D.: 150 kg/ha MOP |
| Control treatment results | 80 MT/ha @ 10 degrees Brix Grower’s revenue from yield: 13.7 US$/MT |
| Best treatment results | 96 MT/ha @ 10 degrees Brix Grower’s revenue from yield: 13.7 US$/MT Cost of treatment (application + material – cost of MOP) = 60 US$/ha |
| Net benefit of best treatment | 160 US$/ha |
| Benefit/Cost ratio | 2.67 |
| Conclusions |
Split application of Multi-K is considerably superior to a single application of MOP. |
