5 Corn treated with & Corn with healthy roots survive even in drought! The corn in photos 1 and 2 were planted the same time in fields right next to each other in the Ficksburg district in the Free State. Initially the corn in photo 1 looked better than the corn in photo 2. Then the drought hit the area! These photos were taken after the drought. The corn in photo 2 received the correct / healthy root nutrition (NPK) (DEBSCO s specialist fertilizer) as well as healthy nutrition (trace elements) via leave spraying with Delta Chemicals organic products. The nutrition lead to healthy roots as can be seen to the right in photo 3. Healthy roots = healthy plants = better returns! Photos by Dr. De Buys Scott (DEBSCO Landboukundige Dienste, Bethlehem) Dr. De Buys Scott worked for 36 years in a research and education capacity in agriculture. When he retired he worked at the Small Grain Institute of the Agricultural Research Council.
