> Biomin showed increased earnings per hectare of $5962.16.

Observations show that from a lower initial calcium level, Biomin Calcium, with 
just five applications, was able to increase significantly fruit calcium above the
grower Standard Calcium program.
 Biomin showed increased earnings per hectare of
$5962.16. Biomin product cost per hectare was $64.21 higher, but based on true expense
grower Standard Calcium Chloride program was $535.79 / Ha more expensive, showing
there are savings that can be shaved from the grower standard Calcium program keeping
Braeburn apple production viable. Grower observations included more advanced colour
on the Biomin Calcium apples and with just five applications compared to thirteen,
not only will environmental impacts be reduced but you may have time to catch more
fish for the table. [Read full trial paper here.](https://rd2.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Apple-Biomin-Calcium-Treatment-Compared-with-Calcium-Chloride.pdf)
