Conclusion:
Both Afrikelp© LG-1 treatments increased yield of soybeans over the positive control.
The best result was achieved with 1 treatment of 1 L AK/ha after 14 days. This increased yield by 7,6%.
The second treatment did not bring an additional benefit. It resulted in a slightly delayed ripening with slightly less but heavier beans at this harvesting point but still 3,4% more yield compared to the control.
