Boost Your Yield & Profitability with SF-Y
Proven Results from Extensive Field Trials
At Amstel Agro, we are committed to innovation in agriculture. To validate the effectiveness of our SF-Y silicon fertilizer, we conducted multiple field tests across various crops, including rice, silage corn, bananas, and potatoes. These trials, carried out in Colombia and the UK, aimed to measure the impact of SF-Y on crop growth, yield, and economic benefits. ​
The results are clear:
SF-Y enhances plant development, increases productivity, and improves overall profitability. Below are the key findings from our extensive research.
Key findings:
​​
​Rice: 22.58% yield increase, 785 kg/ha more than control
Silage Corn: Up to 67% higher yield with SF-Y 0.2%
Bananas: 6.1% weight increase per bunch, adding 2.2 Ton/Ha/cycle
Potatoes: 36% yield increase, with 6 t/Ha more than control
Economic Benefit:
​
The economic benefits of using SF-Y are substantial. In rice cultivation, the increased yield resulted in an additional revenue of €1,133.5 per hectare, marking a 54% profit gain compared to untreated crops.
Similarly, banana farmers saw a net profit increase of €8,800 per hectare per cycle, translating to a 3.1% financial improvement. Across all tested crops, higher yields led to a more efficient and profitable agricultural production, ensuring better resource utilization and greater financial returns for farmers.
