The treated plot yielded 1,045 boxes per acre against 917.4 for the control: 13.9% more. What matters for price is not only volume but the size distribution. Medium grade rose 47.1% (from 282.6 to 415.8 boxes/acre) and Euro grade 179.2% (from 58.3 to 162.8), the two best-paid grades in the fresh market. Choice grade grew 50.5%. Programme applied through drip and foliar with ECOGANIC BOOST UNIVERSAL and ECOGANIC K-FLOW 20.
