Hydretain project on drip irrigation corn in Calabria, Italy

 

Overview

I injected the first dose Hydretain of corn grown on very sandy soil on May 23, 2016. The block was 3.5 Ha and I gave a dose of 10 liters per hectare. The corn is irrigated drip as you can see from the photos.

The emitter is 1.5 Lit / h at a distance of 30 cm. Corn on April 15 has been sown and the distance between rows is 75 cm. Next week I hope to do the first injection on the block in subsurface drip irrigation and on citrus fruits—Salvatore Scicchitano

The corn is grown on sandy soil. In eight days the treated corn has grown almost a meter. Now it is 170 cm tall.
