Carrots: biology out-earned a fumigant
A commercial carrot grower applied Bioprime at 50 L/ha and measured the result against the conventional program. Late yield rose 13%, worth $3,200/ha after the cost of product — and it displaced a metham sodium fumigation costing $1,600/ha.

“The late yield increase of 13% in the 50 L/ha Bioprime treatment gives an increase of $3,200 per hectare after subtracting the cost of Bioprime. Considering the alternative cost of metham sodium at $1,600 per hectare, the net ROI increase was $4,800 per hectare.”
