Trial aim
To assess the benefits of BioAg Soil & Seed in drill sown rice under standard farmer practices (as described by researcher) in the Murray Valley and compare that to standard farmer practice without BioAg Soil & Seed treatments.
Recommendations
The economic analysis indicated there was an increase both return per hectare and mega litre by using Bio Ag Soil & Seed over standard farmer practice. The greatest return per ha andML was achieved at the commercially recommended rate of 3L/ha for BioAg Soil & Seed. This result could be used to conclude that the commercially recommended rate for Soil & Seed is suitable for drill sown rice in the Murray Valley.
