Germany: A Trial at a Winter Wheat Field of Roitzsch Agricultural Cooperation
Roitzsch 2019: Roitzsch Agricultural Cooperation conducted a trial on a winter wheat field using BioAktiv products to promote soil microbial activities in countering the adverse effects of prolonged droughts in 2018 and 2019. The coop divided the 15-ha field into three 5-ha plots and tilled the middle and a side 5-ha plots on 3 April 2009.

They also observed that the treated plants developed stronger root systems. On 17 May, they added 1 litre/ha BioAktiv Professional Vita Full Complex (Plant Booster) to the treated plot. On 28 May, they again found that treated plants grew stronger roots, had no fungal growths, their sap had higher sugar content indicating healthier growth, and produced more eyes of grains. Aerial photos on 27 June (after harvest) showed that the treated plot had darker soil indicating more humus formed. [Report]
