(3) Combined soil drench and foliar spray

Rooting depth:

Control: 20 cm
Vitazyme: 27.5 cm (+38%)

Secondary root radius:

Control: 25 cm
Vitazyme: 40 cm (+60%)

Plant growth observations:

"The foliar applications helped to increase the photosynthetic area, increasing the number of lateral stems and the number of leaves....  It also shortened the crop cycle by one week....  The product behaved as expected, helping in the development of the root mass and increasing the photosynthetic area of the plants."

Fertilization:  none
