Last week I went to Stettler, Alberta in Canada to tour some test trials of SuperCal products.

Our newest dealer McRae Holdings, put out lots of trials on wheat, barley, and canola. While it's still too early for yeild results, there were some definate visual advatantages.

Wheat, SuperCal 98G on the left, Check on the right. SuperCal 98G applied 50# in furrow withthe seed. Other fertlity was manure and 1# of boron.

 

 

Wheat, Check strip

 

SuperCal 98G 50#'s in furrow with seed.

 

 

Wheat leaves, SuperCal 98G on left, 3 leaves, check on the right, 2 leaves. Noticably bigger flag leaves with SuperCal 98G.

 

 

 

Wheat root response. SuperCal 98G left, Check on the right, Soil softer to 6" where SuperCal SO4 was applied vs. 3" in check.

 

 

The soils near Stettler are 4-8% organic matter and mostly 20% calcium. Application of only 100 lbs of SuperCal SO4 have increased root penetration by 1 inch. In these low calcium heavy tight soils you normaly can only sink a shovel a couple of inches into the soil. So adding 200 lbs on SuperCal SO4 effecitvely doubles the rooting depth! In additions to the big gains they are seeing from SuperCal 98G and SuperCal SO4, Boron and Copper have show a big response as well.

 

If your looking to increase yields in western Canada, we highly recommend McRae Holdings.
