SG + 100% NPK113 bu/Ac 17.71% increase 100% NPK96 bu/Ac Corn - Arkansas There was a $45.00 per acre increase in cost where the SumaGrow formulation was applied. All other costs were the same. There was a 17 bushel per acre increase where SG was applied. At $8.00 per bushel, the 17 bushel increase equates to a $91.00 increase ($136.00 - $45.00) in profit for the SumaGrow treated fields

Cotton – North Carolina The cost for each treatment was the same The SG treated area yielded 163.9 lb/Ac more At $1.00 per pound, this 163.9 lb increase means a $163.90 increase per acre in profits.
6
Cotton – China The SG treated areas saw a 162.75 lb/Ac increase over the control. At $1.50 per pound, this equates to an increase in profits of $200.00 per acre including the cost of SG application.
