[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7785144, member: 44728"] When I did the trail with the Glenside product, which IIRC was called N-sure about 20 years ago, I was using Urea as my source of N fertiliser. It definitely had an effect, but the results were all over the place and neither I or Glenside could make head nor tail of why it worked on some fields and not other (this despite Albrecht testing of the fields). Basically, I had put of my 1st dose of Urea in February that amounted to about a 3rd of the total I would use. Then, where the trials were in each field, instead of putting the 2nd dose on, we put the N-sure on. I was told it was a sensitive product and that we needed to neutralise anything in the water that might damage the product. I did this with sugar that I bought in vast quantities from my local supermarket, raising a lot of eyebrows from its staff and fellow shoppers. But it was surprisingly cheap! IIRC, I also added another Glenside product called Maerit (which is Marriphite without the Phosphite added) which at that time we were using regularly over the farm. As I said, in places it worked well, out-yielding where we had put the 2nd dose of Urea, but in others not so. Unfortunately, Glenside decided not to continue with it. One of the things I remember was that there was a definite greening effect and that where the trials ares were in each field, the crop colour was about the same as where we had used the 2nd dose on Urea. The Twin N had nothing added to it and didn’t work at all! I was told that it was used in Australian and worked in Arid conditions. The crop colour was as if no 2nd dose of Urea was put on at all and yields were well down. It is obvious to me that companies such as Glenside, think about it properly, research it and try hard to make it work. Companies such as these have certain other products that do actually increase crop yields and can seriously reduce the amount of N fertiliser that is needed to achieve similar, if not better yields. But we do require much more detailed soil analysis such as proper Albrecht testing to achieve this. On the other hand , there are far too many “Snake oil” sellers out there that try to sell us stuff in order to keep them in the lifestyle to which the are accustomed! [/QUOTE]
