Cooper-Garrod Vineyard Test 1996
Notice in the
picture, there is a serious potassium deficiency. Note the die back of the leave very
little surface
of either leave can contribute to the ripening of the fruit.
This is a comparison picture to show you the original
sickly condition of this Cabernet Franc field. The photo is
the sick row 'Notice' how little fruit is on the vine. Our 'test row' photo below is
full and healthy, while
the rest
of the field is sickly and producing poorly.
This is a picture of our VF-11 treated vine. Notice the
abundance of fruit even when testing started after the blossoms
had formed. Isn't it amazing that VF-11 was able to 'set' all those blossoms even on a
sickly vine.
Lab Reports and Findings
A word from the Garrod consultant, Rick Berg
The mix for the test was: One ounce VF-11 to one gallon water or one gallon VF-11 to
100
gallons of water
which will
fertilize approximately one acre.
Healthy wine grapes require a 6 to 1…Potassium/Magnesium ratio. Notice the
untreated vines are 2.8 to
1…this
is deficient !!! The treated vines are 5.73 to 1…Potassium levels…this
is
almost PERFECT !!!
This perfect
balance was accomplished by merely foliar feeding with VF-11 Plant Food.
AMAZING RESULTS IN SO SHORT A TIME.

Notice the magnificent health that VF-11 has created in
this potassium deficient sickly field.
This test resulted in 300 pounds of grapes from this
short test row. Just imagine the tonnage that could have been
produced in the entire field. VF-11 balanced the micro and macronutrients (without
adding anything to the
soil) it
also brought the sugar brix up a month earlier then would normally be expected….Thus
eliminating damage from
early
rains.
Analysis BEFORE application of VF-11
In 1999, a Pistachio farm received this Lab Report on the right. You can see that the micro
and the
macronutrients in
his trees are 'out of balance' !!! The next year in 2000, VF-11 Plant Food was put to the
test to see how it
could improve
this situation.
After only 6 foliar applications (2oz VF-11 to one gallon water, 3 weeks apart) another Lab
Report was taken.
It's was
amazing !!! The neighboring Pistachio owner looked at this second report and said, "That's
impossible !!!"
You will understand why the neighbor made his remark when you examine the second Lab Report
taken in 2000 after
applying
VF-11 only 6 times !!! Yes, anyone looking at the second report would have difficulty
believing a gentle
fertilizer
like VF-11 could create an amazing 'balance' so quickly !!! Adding nothing to the soil !!!
Proving once again
That VF-11
is a "Breakthrough" !!!
Analysis AFTER application of VF-11
On the right, is the second Lab Report taken after only 6 foliar feedings with VF-11 on the
same farm in
Chowcilla, CA.
(2oz VF-11 to one gallon water, every 3 weeks) Notice the PERFECT BALANCE of all nutrients
in so short a time
!!! And
nothing need to be added to the soil !!!
Keep in mind that VF-11 is very low in Nitrogen…it's almost 'uncanny' that it was able
to bring up the
Nitrogen
so beautifully so quickly…proving once again VF-11 is a "Breakthrough' !!!
And the fungal disease is already disappearing because VF-11 creates a perfect pH where
fungal diseases can not
'take
hold' !!! This should have been a 'short year' because of the alternate bearing branches,
instead his crop
increased
from 2000 lbs per acre to 3600 lbs per acre !!!
His processor said, "What are you using, this is the best crop in all California."
VF-11 is a 'godsend' to this generation of diseased trees and burned out soils. It's a
"Breakthrough". Results
are fast
and obvious and money-making!
