Cereal and Broadacre Crops
Cereal and Broadacre Crops
Soybean
Brazil
Challenge: Climate inconsistency has led to a drop in yield per hectare.
Solution: To mitigate the situation with the use of OCF with Humic and Seaweed Extracts.
Cereal and Broadacre Crops
Dryland Wheat
Spain
Challenge: Severe drought and extreme temperatures affecting yield and crop quality.
Solution: Application of OCF with a reduced input program.
Cereal and Broadacre Crops
Corn
Brazil
Challenge: Combating common rust (Puccinia sorghi) in corn cultivation to maintain or improve yield, and reducing reliance on high doses of fungicides.
Solution:Incorporate customised colloidal fertiliser with micronutrients during nutrient and protection sprays (at a reduced rate).
Cereal and Broadacre Crops
Rice
Vietnam
Challenge: Flooding from the Mekong River has led to water stress and lower yields from the OM 3536 variety, which is crucial for the livelihoods of farmers.
Solution:Incorporate colloidal fertiliser with carbon to help plants withstand stress and promote more robust growth.
Cereal and Broadacre Crops
Barley
Spain
Challenge: Optimising resource efficiency and achieving a profitable return on investment in dryland barley cultivation.
Solution:Application of OCF with Hydrolysed protein in a tank-mix with a 50% reduced dose of herbicides and nitrogenous nutrition (N32).
Cereal and Broadacre Crops
Rice
Spain
Challenge: Optimizing resource use, particularly water and agrochemicals, while maintaining or increasing yield in water-stressed, saline-affected soils.
Solution: Application of OCF with carbon in a tank-mix with a 50% reduction in basal fertilizer and a 30-50% reduction in pesticides, combined with 10% less irrigation water.
Cereal and Broadacre Crops
Maize
Spain
Challenge: Cultivation cost per hectare has become unsustainable in the Castilla y Leon region of Spain. A study was conducted to evaluate a more rational allocation of the expenses without compromising productivity.
Solution: Application of OCF with Carbon in conjunction with various rates of highcost post-emergent herbicides to assess the impact on maize productivity.
Cereal and Broadacre Crops
Wheat
Brazil
Challenge: Controlling Conyza bonariensis (L), also known as flaxleaf fleabane, has been a costly exercise in wheat cultivation in Brazil, particularly due to the high frequency of post-emergent sprays required to keep it under control.
Solution:Integration of OCF with micronutrient fertilisation, together with postemergent herbicides of Roundup and 2,4D.
Cereal and Broadacre Crops
Wheat
Brazil
Challenge: Resistant issues have become a common challenge in many broadacre crop cultivation. In this instance, resistant rust has been an issue in wheat cultivation
in the Ponta Grossa region of Brazil.
Solution: Implement OCF with micronutrients in combination with post-emergent fungicide application to assess the impact on control and yield.
Vine Fruits
Vine Fruits
Grapevine
Spain
Challenge: Combating Grapevine Trunk Diseases (GTD) for which there is no regulated cure, and improving vine health and productivity.
Solution: Application of a customized OCF based formulation to control disease, enhance vine health, and improve productivity.
Vine Fruits
Grapevine
Spain
Challenge: Sustaining high vineyard productivity and health while reducing dependency on conventional fertilizers and agrochemicals over multiple growing seasons.
Solution: Three foliar applications of OCF with carbon per season, integrated with a deliberate 15-30% reduction in standard fertilizer and agrochemical inputs.
Fruit & Nut Trees
Fruit & Nut Tree
Almond
Spain
Challenge: Cultivating almonds in a semi-arid climate with below-average rainfall and extreme temperatures.
Solution: Application of OCF with Carbon in combination with a reduced-input program.
Fruit & Nut Tree
Citrus
Brazil
Challenge: Combating Huanglongbing (HLB), a severe citrus disease that blocks nutrient transport and causes tree decline, together with CILV-C2 incidence in citrus orchards.
Solution: Application of OCF with carbon to HLB-infected trees as a targeted nutritional solution.
Fruit & Nut Tree
Japanese Plum
Spain
Challenge: Sharka Plum Pox Virus (PPV) has been a persistent issue in commercial orchards in Murcia, Spain, despite frequent fungicide applications, with no effective control solution available. Damaged fruits typically account for around 30% of productivity.
Solution: Integration of OCF with Carbon, together with nutrient and fungicide sprays, with the hope of better containing the condition.
Fruit & Nut Tree
Apple
Mexico
Challenge: Replacing highly toxic dormancy-breaking chemicals with a safe, effective alternative.
Solution: Integrated application of OCF with carbon and OCF with protein, replacing hydrogen cyanamide.
Fruit & Nut Tree
Cherry
Australia
Challenge: Optimising yield and increasing the percentage of premium-grade fruit in an organic chemical-free production system.
Solution: A single application of OCF with carbon combined with calcium nutrients at the green fruit stage.
Fruit & Nut Tree
Coffee
Brazil
Challenge: Maximizing productivity and economic returns in irrigated Arabica coffee (variety Arara) production.
Solution: Monthly foliar application of OCF with humic extracts integrated with the standard farm input program.
Root Crops
Root Crops
Potato
Spain
Challenge: potato farm in Avila, growing the VITALIA variety, is exploring yield improvements in light of high biotic and abiotic stress conditions, as well as reducing chemical residues in its soil.
Solution: Integration of OCF with hydrolysed protein into its management and spray protocols, and reducing input chemicals ranging from 14% to 75% amongst thirteen chemical inputs, including herbicides, insecticides and fungicides.
Root Crops
Sugar Beet
Spain
Challenge: Optimizing resource use and enhancing profitability in sugar beet cultivation.
Solution: Application of OCC with carbon with a reduced input program.
Horticulture & Veggie Crops
Horticulture & Veggie Crops
Tomato
Spain
Challenge: Reducing the use of chemical inputs while maintaining crop yield and quality in commercial tomato production.
Solution: Application of OCF with carbon in a tank-mix with a 50% reduced dose of all conventional pesticides and fertilisers.
Horticulture & Veggie Crops
Asparagus
Vietnam
Challenge: Optimizing yield and quality of asparagus in open-field cultivation for increased profitability.
Solution: Application of OCF with carbon integrated into the standard fertilisation and crop protection program.
