Wheat/Barley

Overview

Wheat is the second biggest staple food in the world and has been the focus of many years of research at Biosynergy. What Crofft helps to improve with wheat and barley is a significantly improved root structure maximising the taking up the moisture and nutrients made available to the plant. Better nutrition and moisture result in higher yields and profits. For the farmer it’s a simple equation Crofft equals profits.

I farm in the Mkushi area in Zambia and have done so for the last ten years since moving from Zimbabwe. I have used Crofft on wheat and Soya beans. I personally strongly recommended Crofft to my family and neighbours.

My name is Ismail Patel, I have a farm west of Lusaka Zambia. I was told by one of our suppliers about a new product that was available in July of 2013 that could be used to increase yields on wheat.

My name is Gilly Gilwald and I manage part of Chartonel Estates which is outside of Lusaka Zambia growing maize, soya and wheat. I agreed to apply the product on a portion of my wheat crop to check on the yield claims and as a way to reduce lodging as our usual anti-lodging product was unavailable.

I farm in Mkushi in Central Province on a farm I opened up myself three years ago. I grow soya and wheat and sometimes maize depending upon the price. We applied Crofft at one tiller and main shoot, initially there was a difference in the colour of the treated plants, the root system on treated plants was much thicker too. Towards the end of the season the Crofft plants looked to have bigger and better heads.
