Effect
Increased produce quality
Terra Sorb Complex treated Common bean, cv. Oczko, showed significantly increased number of pods.m-2 (+16%), increased number of seeds.m-2 (+20.3%), increased seed yield (g/m2) (+11.2%), decreased 1000 seed weight (g) (-7.5%), seed had an increased protein content (%DM) (+11.4%), no difference in total phenols (mg/g DM) (+26.6%), and increased total flavonoids (mg/g DM) (+65.8%), when averaged across three growing seasons and application timings, compared to untreated control plants. Double spray was most effective.
