Exploring the Impact of Wool Pellets on Crop Growth in Large Field Experiments ~ Part 2

Recap - we tested our wool pellets by applying 180 lbs. to an area under a pivot end gun, covering an area of 11,310 square feet with a total application of 1 lb. per 65 square feet.

Objectives of the Experiment


The field experiment had clear goals focused on understanding the impact of wool pellets on crop growth on a larger scale. Researchers aimed to analyze the following:


  1. Assessing Nutrient Release: Results



Soil Test




 With Wool Pellets

Without Wool Pellets


Ph

6.5 - 7

7.5


Potash

K3 Sufficient

K1 Deficient


Phosphorus

P1 Deficient

P0 Depleted


Nitrogen

N1 Deficient

N0 Depleted


As you can see by the results above there was improvements in the soil treated with Wool Pellets. The soil could definitely use some more help but over time it will be interesting to see if it continues to improve.

Visually you could see that the section with the Wool Pellets applied had greener foliage then the area that did not have Wool Pellets


Moving forward we will continue to use Wool Pellets on a large scale. A few things we will do different - Apply at a higher rate to see if we see different results, try applying to the top of the soil to see if you can get the same results.
