Brief Report on Field Trial with Albit

Agricultural crop: winter wheat
Variety: Boomer
Location of trial: Experimental farm Borgeby Gard, Malmohus, Sweden
Experimental field area: 0.1 ha
Date of sowing: 20.9.2010
Date of harvesting: 18 August, 2011
Type of soil and how it was treated: Clay, normal tillage
Climatic traits of the year: optimal
Number of treatments with Albit: 1-2
Outline of the experiment:
There were 5 alternatives:
1. Control was treared with herbicide + fungicide (10 May) and insecticide + fungicide (8 June)
2. Herbicide + fungicide + Albit 40 ml/ha and insecticide+ fungicide
3. Herbicide + fungicide+ Albit 40 ml/ha and insecticide + fungicide + Albit 40 ml/ha
4. Herbicide + 1/2 dose fungicide + Albit 40 ml/ha and insecticide + fungicide + Albit 40 ml/ha
5. Herbicide + 1/2 dose fungicide + Albit 40 ml/ha and insecticide + 1/2 dose fungicide + Albit 40ml/ha
The first treatment was performed on 10 May in stage 31-32, second — on 8 June in stage 51. The herbicide (H) Starane XL 0.8 1/ha, fungicide (F) Proline — 0.4 1/ ha (full
dose) and 0.2 1/ha (half dose), insecticide (I) Mavrik 0.2 1/ha were used.

* for calculations, price of Albit was taken as 120 EUR/1, price of fungicide — 65 EUR/1, price of grain — 200 EUR/t
Conclusion: In this experiment, it was shown that even under optimal climatic conditions of the year and very high yield in control, addition of Albit to standard treatments of
wheat with herbicide and insecticide may increase the productivity. 1 1 of Albit granted the obtaining of ca. 2 tons of extra grain yield. Double application of Albit is more
effective than single treatment. In mixes with Albit, application rate of fungicide may be cut for 50% without loss of prqducti vitv^ompared to full doses of fungicide.
