    Just from the experiments we need to separate three component parts here.
    1. The control appeared to have NPK and base fertiliser (based on the Bok Choi Ann which suggested how the control was formulated) but didn't appear to relate to other competitor products around what farmers may do to the control (i.e. relevance of control to what farmers do). An aspect, again look at the bok choi Ann, would be that the soil was not of great quality so firstly the benefits will be dependent on the control/base soil and especially what is the farmers control, I suspect their controls would be slightly different to the greenhouse one, given you can see farmers spraying constantly.
    2. Everyone has been focussed on the 300% heads growth in the Ann. The actual one to focus on is weight/product and that only increased by 100% - 160% (i.e. appears heads were smallerto the control because you should have got a greater mass IMO).
    3. In the field you don't have perfect growing conditions. You don't individually sit there and spray biostimulants on each plant in a controlled environment. Dampness, frost, wind during spraying etc would mean that the plant does not get the optimal amount (or absorb the optimal amount) and some plants may get more than optimal amounts (note the difference in yields at the 10% and greater than 35% application rates for example). Now I doubt the control used was truly what farmers would do - how does the base fertiliser in the control actually compare to what farmers do. Obviously IMO

    I suggest that the growth rates will not be comparable to the greenhouse scenario in the broad acre field but even 5% - 10% additional growth over what farmers would do would make farmers stand up and listen provided it is cost competitive, hence one of my comments in my previous posts. This is the basis of my comments that what is in a greenhouse won't translate to the field, but hydroponics in a greenhouse well that would be good if the trials continue to remain favourable there because not the same issues so there is just a question around how is the control relevant to existing practices there.

    I am not a farmer btw, but my in-laws are so I have got to see a few things hence the key really remains around what was the control and how does it relate to farming practices per se (i.e that is the true comparison) and how does it impact mass weight (heads growth doesn't mean anything if they are smaller heads and don't increase mass weight, for example, but I do note that the increase in dry weight in the wheat Ann was 100% - 160% over the control, but the control needs to be tested around what farmers actually do).

    I guess let's see what is in the PFS as I see it more as a bankable study that will be used to get funding, hopefully 3rd party funding and that will require comparisons with competitor products as well IMO in talking about markets etc

    Finally, on VB you don't know what you are missing. In terms of spirits, nothing like a good Bundy OP.

    All IMO, except the VB part.
