I’m the Farm Manager at the Sunbelt Agricultural Expo in Moultrie. I’ve run many test trials on peanuts using Grasshopper Fertilizer. I performed tests on GA 06 and Tiftguard varieties, the trials I performed ran for 2 years. Both years, there were increases in yield and root formation. With the easy application of Grasshopper foliar applied fertilizer, there were extensive root formation and larger pegging zones in the treated peanuts. Root nodule formation was very apparent on the treated peanuts. I observed a 25-30% increase in nodulation response on the treated plants. As for above ground, with increased pegging zone on treated plants, vines were also larger. I observed no difference on treated vs. non-treated as fungicide applications are concerned.
