INDEPENDENT FIELD TRIAL and TEST RESULTS on SEA-CROP for 2007
These tests were sponsored at four different test facilities by an entity independent of Ambrosia Technology.
Field Trial at Lousiana State University
Corn: Two tests treated with 2 gallons per acre and 4 gallons per acre gave increased corn harvests of 58.15% and 94.49% respectively.
Eugene, Oregon Tests
Sweet corn was planted and treated in the furrow with Sea-Crop at the rate of 1.8 gallons per acre. Scotts Osmocote N-P-K fertilizer was used on both the untreated control and treated tests. After 115 days the plants were dug up, the roots washed and the entire plant desiccated so that dry matter weights could be compared. The percentage gain of the Sea-Crop treated plants as compared to the controls is listed below.

Strawberry (June bearing) bare root starts were transplanted into one gallon pots. Scott's Osmocote N-P-K fertilizer was used on both the untreated control and the treated tests. On the sixth day after transplantation the treated plants received Sea-Crop at the rate of 3 gallons per acre. The treated plants produced fruit earlier as well as later in the season with significantly more fruit during the peak harvest season. Total increase in yield of fruit by weight 65.2%

Davis California Test
Cucumber seeds were germinated, then transplanted into 4 inch pots and treated with Sea-Crop at the rate of 3 gallons per acre. A commercial N-P-K fertilizer was used on both the untreated control and the treated tests. After 4 weeks the plants were dug up, the roots washed and the entire plant desiccated so that dry matter weights could be compared.

Morocco University Test
Eggplant sets were planted in 5 liter pots and 8 replicates were then treated with a foliar spray of Sea-Crop that was diluted to a 1% concentration. There was no increase in fruit set but the fruit of the treated plants were 79.5% larger by weight giving a 79% increase in yield over the control.
