EFFECT OF SEA CROP 16 AND ERGOSTIM ON CROP YIELDS AND PLANT COMPOSITION

Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of Sea Crop (SC 16) and Ergostim on the yield and nutrient composition of a few crops. Studies conducted under greenhouse and field conditions showed that the yields of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and peas (Pisum sativum L.) were not affected by the addition of SC16. The nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) concentrations of the two crops were not affected by SC 16, except in the control and SC 16 treatment only where the increases were likely due to a concentration effect, since these two treatments had lower yields. Boron (B) and molybdenum (Mo) concentrations in the plants were significantly affected by B and Mo applications, but not by SC 16. A greenhouse study showed that the yields of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and wheat were not affected by the addition of Ergostim. The addition of Ergostim did not affect the N or S concentration of wheat or three cuts of alfalfa.
