    Bit deceptive greenpower saying it has proved to increase wheat yield by 300%. On a single plant maybe, but over a large area, no. Farmers don't plant a single plant here or there but establish large populations in a given area. Depending on available subsoil moisture, expected rainfall, paddock history, fertiliser etc the seeding rate is adjusted to establish the optimum number of plants (heads) per square metre etc. I can see the advantage of using lower seed rates but no way is wheat yields going to increase 300% over a large area. Not even 100% or 50%.
    In saying that, the fertilizer/tech does look positive and would be interested in large scale trials results.
