4 SG + 100% NPK113 bu/Ac 17.71% increase 100% NPK96 bu/Ac Corn - Arkansas There was a $45.00 per acre increase in cost where the SumaGrow formulation was applied. All other costs were the same. There was a 17 bushel per acre increase where SG was applied. At $8.00 per bushel, the 17 bushel increase equates to a $91.00 increase ($136.00 - $45.00) in profit for the SumaGrow treated fields

5 Cotton – North Carolina The cost for each treatment was the same The SG treated area yielded 163.9 lb/Ac more At $1.00 per pound, this 163.9 lb increase means a $163.90 increase per acre in profits.

6 Cotton – China The SG treated areas saw a 162.75 lb/Ac increase over the control. At $1.50 per pound, this equates to an increase in profits of $200.00 per acre including the cost of SG application.

7 Forage (Fescue & Clover) – Virginia The SG treatment had a cost of $45 per acre The 100% NPK treatment had a cost of $83 per acre The SG treatment yielded an increase of 750 pounds per acre at $38.00 less cost per acre. This equates to an increased profit of $78.00 per acre over the fertilizer treated areas.

8 Watermelon – Arkansas Treatment 1 – Initial application of ½ gallon per acre of SumaGrow plus 90N, 46P, and 74K – Second application of ½ gallon per acre of SumaGrow at fruit set (SGF) Treatment 2 – Initial application of 138N, 46P, and 74K (F) Both treatments were 20 acre plots
