Griffith Maize Agronomy Trial 2024/25

Welcome to the Griffith maize agronomy trial by Terragen BioTech Pty Ltd. This research aims to explore the use of Great Land Plus® in Maize to manage crop productivity while reducing reliance on synthetic fertilisers. This research explores the use of GLP in maize at two application timings, in furrow and early crop emergence, with full rate of fertiliser and 25% reduced fertiliser. Trial was conducted by independent research organisation in Eurofins/Kalyx. Trial Site Overview Sown: 22nd October 2024 Harvested: 28th March 2025 Variety: Pioneer P9978 Standard Fertiliser: Urea x 2 Applications Objectives To test the hypothesis that using Great Land Plus® reduces requirement for synthetic fertilizer inputs while maintaining crop yield and improving plant health and uniformity. Test the application timing of plant bio-stimulant Great Land Plus® and its effect on crop growth and yield. Support data driven recommendations for sustainable agriculture practices using Great Land [...]

2019 Gowinta Farms Strawberry Trial

Tested in the lab. Proven in the strawberry field.   Great Land Plus is a biotechnology product that’s not just proven in research, it's proven where it counts – in strawberry fields across Australia. So if you’re interested in a product that unlocks your soil’s true potential, and is better for your ground’s natural balance – use Great Land Plus. Great Land Plus is a liquid product that contains a carefully selected group of naturally occurring soil bacteria that interact with plants. These microorganisms provide the gene products to accelerate the efficient use of nutrients in the soil by your plants, delivering better growth results and improved yield. Many of our customers use Great Land Plus as a fertiliser efficiency tool, and are able to reduce their mineral fertiliser inputs while delivering better results. Commercial trial in strawberries To measure the effect of Great [...]

Great Land Plus® (GLP) Compatibility with Roundup Ready® Herbicide with Plant Shield®

Compatibility summary based on MALDIID Final Report B-C95-P01B01 (04 September 2025) Executive Summary Short-term (2–6 hours): GLP shows partial compatibility in the tank with Roundup Ready granules; total viable counts retain approximately 64–68% of initial levels. Overnight (24 hours): Total viable counts drop to ~18% of the starting level, driven by marked declines in Lactobacillus groups. The mix should be sprayed within the same day and preferably within 2–6 hours of mixing. What Was Tested Sample 1: Roundup Ready with PlantShield granules (1500 g/ha) + GLP (batch C25.024) at 4 L/ha; counts at 0 h, 2 h, 6 h, and 24 h. Sample 2: GLP at 4 L/ha baseline counts at 0 h (no time-course). Overall Viability Trend Total viable counts (“Total all”) over time in the combined mix: Detailed Results Colony-forming units (CFU/mL) and retention relative to 0 h for Roundup Ready + GLP mix: Microbe group [...]

Ravensworth, Maize Silage Trial NSW 2025/26 Season

Laconik Final Report West_01_Terragen trial_FINAL Report Produced for Ramps Ridge February 2026 Version 1 Key Takeaways Yield : GLP 4L/ha produced higher yield (82.48 units), significantly greater than all other treatments (LSD = 5.84, group "a"). Profitability : Gross margin and ROI calculations were not possible as no crop price data were provided. Gross Margin : Although treatment costs varied, no financial advantage could be established due to unavailable market pricing. ROI : The agronomic benefit of GLP 4L/ha is clear, but ROI could not be determined without yield price data. Overall : GLP 4L/ha was agronomically superior, but economic interpretation remains uncertain. Introduction The purpose of this trial, conducted on Ramps Ridge's field W01 during the 2025 season, was to evaluate the impact of various GLP-based treatments (with and without Kelp) on crop performance, using both yield data and multispectral imagery. Treatments included different rates of GLP application, [...]
