Mr. David Bynoe conducted research trials on organic farming methods. His cabbage production trial found that chicken manure produced significantly higher yields than conventional fertilizer or sheep manure. A lettuce trial found that pre-plant application of Nano-Gro led to faster initial leaf growth but no long-term difference. Okra and squash nursery trials found Nano-Gro did not increase germination or growth, though it may increase the rate okra reaches the two-leaf stage. Further research is needed before recommending Nano-Gro to farmers.
