Results

There was significant variation in cane yield across different treatments over the 2-year field trial. Download the field study for chart.

The treatment with Granubor resulted in the highest average cane yield of 84.6 tons per hectare, outperforming both colemanite and the control treatments.

Specifically, Granubor significantly increased cane yield compared to colemanite and control, which yielded 71.4 and 72.5 tons per hectare, respectively.

This suggests that Granubor has a notable effect on enhancing cane yield. In contrast, the yields from colemanite and control are comparable to each other, with no significant difference between them.
