"Sa NITROBOOST at COMPLETO+ nakasave ako sa granular fertilizer by 50% at lumago, mas mabulas ang talbos, nabawasan ang aborted flowers at mas madaming napipitas ko na talong at ampalaya!... Yung SEEDLING BOOSTER napaka galing magpabulas ng bagong tanim!!! "

Observations & Conclusions
-
Combination of COMPLETO+ & NITROBOOST applied 14 and 21-30 days apart resulted to the highest yield at 4.95 tons/HA in 20 pickings; +180% above Brand A, +132% above Brand G and +74% above Brand C
-
COMPLETO+ at maximum label recommendation of 5 liters/HA is next best alternative but may be the highest in Value-In-Use with 4.77 tons/HA yield at +169% above Brand A, +124% above Brand G and +67% above Brand C after 20 pickings
-
NITROBOOST at low dose of 2 liters/HA applied every 21-30 days produced a yield advantage of +122% above Brand A, +84% above Brand G and +38% above Brand C
-
Yield maximization is more evident with COMPLETO+ and NITROBOOST combination applied alternately every 14 days (COMPLETO+) and 21-30 days (NITROBOOST)
