How to read these results

  • The trials were sponsored by Warkem Biotech, the maker of Shri Sutra, and conducted by the institutions named. They were not run by BhoomiSeva.
  • Most are single-season trials at one location. Some reports state that they are product-testing reports and not a recommendation by the institution.
  • Gains are measured against 100% recommended fertiliser (RDF), farmer practice or an untreated control, as each report states.
  • Your result will depend on crop, soil, season and protocol discipline. Every acre on the protocol is tested, monitored and recorded, so this evidence will grow season by season.
