Case Studies

Agriculture globally has its own challenges with different scenarios in countries. There are similarities world wide. Crop Nutrition in Poor Soils, Agricultural Pests, droughts and lack of water etc. Thus, we as a company have carried out extensive cases studies worldwide that has allowed us to develop our range of products that will work in any growing environment. It is the decades of research and development that positions GGO International Management as a global market leader in sustainable agriculture.

This page highlights some of our many cases studies.

GGOIM invited in for testing Medical Cannabis greenhouse to test a multiple component essential oil product. Testing an infestation of thripsin cannabis the variety called Godfather Kush. We asked the grower to sanitize the entire greenhouse including walls and floors under their regular cleaning protocols.

Hemp & Medical Cannabis

Multinational Medical Cannabis Grower.

Increase yeild and remove infestation of thripsin.

An infestation of thripsin greenhouses cause increasing the economic impact on growers worldwide GGO's methods for the evaluation of thrips responses to volatile plant compounds are outlined high repellency was maintained for 4 days using a mixture of water and concentration of the product called Repel (product contains multiple components of an essential oil blend) used in combination regular feeding protocol.

Immediate results of thrips death from the impact of spray -eggs and juvenile thripsdis continued. The use of repellent oils extend their repellency may prove useful for both pre-and postharvest applications in flower crops.

Our Client confirmed GGO product to be the only one that had immediate effects and saved his crop.

NOTE: Results also apply to hemp crops!

Conventional

5th generation farmer growing Durum Wheat and Canola in 4,500 acres of farmland.

Reduce chemical costs, increase yields, and increase crop quality. Utilize products so that he can successfully grow cash crops multiple times disease free. Canola under conventional methods normally requires 2, 3, or 4 year rotation.

Canola had on average a 15 – 20 bushel per acre increase in yield
The canola seeds were larger and heavier.
Canola has now been farmed 5 years in a row.
Durum - a 20 bushel/acre increase.
The crop was disease free.
Canadian Wheat Board upgrade crop to grade 1.
Higher return for wheat.
$1 million plus profit increase

Located in the region known as Palliser's Triangle, Medicine Hat, Alberta has a semi-arid, continental climate, with cold, dry winters and warm to hot summers. The sandy soil, grassy land cover, short growing season, and dry weather make farming challenging in this region. In this region irrigation is widely used.

The climate of North and Central Florida is humid subtropical. High temperatures during the summer average around 37C statewide with high humidity levels. Conditions are too hot for growing most vegetables in the greenhouses during the summer season.

Greenhouse

5 acre vertical farm. 2,500 plants.

The client was looking for proper consultation, and due to suffering entire crop failures following recommendations by other businesses, they were simply looking for anything new in order for their business to survive.

Tripling production and sell produce in advance.
Winter crops in Florida are now grown commercially in summer heat and have a niche business
Reduced employee head count Little to no disease and pests.
Increased client’s greenhouse production by 65%, saved 40% on fertilizer costs and helped decrease labor by 2%.
Client now capable of year round growing with GGOIM products

University

Field investigation on medium deep black soils under irrigated conditions. Crop - Wheat.

Results were measured using several standard measures of harvest:

Plant height, number of shoots/ m (row length).
TDM (total dry matter (kg)/m row length).
Seed weight (g/m row length).
100 seed weight.
Seed yield (kg/ha).
Straw yield (kg/ha).

In All cases but one, application of GGOIM products, along with recommended fertilizer dose RDF), and farmyard manure (FYM), provided the greatest yields, with a combination of GGOIM products and a fully organic program with the second best yield in these trials. Least yields were produced with control groups.

“The University has carved a niche for itself on the national and international scene. Among the Agricultural Universities in the country, the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad - India is well known by virtue of its high academic standards, research achievements and effective transfer of technology.”

A world leader in banana production facing national catastrophe in all areas of agriculture due to 800% more use of chemical and synthetic fertilizer than any country in the world. Crop failure, international export decline, food security, and farmer suicides - a wakeup call.

Banana Crop

A conglomerate growing bananas for generations based in Bangalore India.

Test conventional Vs GGOIM product. Attempt to test replacing banned products used not allowed in the United States.

Conventional Method

Before planting Chlorpyrifos (30 ml) + COC (30gm) is sprayed to the soil bags (Soil drenching)
For every alternate 2nd day 19 ALL, spray is introduced to the planted soil up to 60 days
For another alternate day Chlorpyrifos (30 ml)+Biostin (30 gm) is introduced to the plants
In case Erwinia disease occurs, Streptocyclin (2 gm)+COC (30gm) is sprayed to control the disease
Everyday 50 ml of Multiplex is sprayed to the plants as nutrient

Organic/Natural Method

Revive Plus - 40 liters/ha in 2 x 10 liter (4.25 gal/acre)
Pasture Plus - 10 liters/ha 2 x 10 liter (1 gal/acre)
Plant Armour - 20 liters/ha ( 2.15 gal/acre )
PhosPlus - 600 kg/ha ( 535 lbs/acre )
Mineralizer - 10 liters/ha ( 1 gal/acre ), applied one week before flowering

Greater yield using GGOIM products compared to conventional. Healthy leaves using GGOIM products compared to conventional fertilizer which show disease.

Organic

Organic certified crops (hairy vetch, clovers, rye and buck wheat), beans, soybeans, corn, oats, sunflower seeds, and conventional non-GMO treated seed corn and true tillage radish seeds.

Reduce input costs, increase yields, increase crop quality and deal with new drought issues in the region.

Kernels for the various crops (cereal, sunflower, corn and wheat), were heavier and denser.
A 20% increase in yields with the first application of GGOIM products.
Wheat kernels where the largest which living Amish farmers had ever seen or grown anywhere.
Drought issues – this farm continued to be productive and doubled crop output from other farms in the region.
Drought resistance provided client with business risk mitigation.

Located in the Midwest United States, Missouri clients are Amish, a group of traditionalist Christian church fellowships which form a subgroup of the Mennonite churches. The Amish are known for simple living, plain dress, and reluctance to adopt many conveniences of modern technology.

India like many countries of the world face agricultural challenges due to harsh conditions which result in crop failure or minimal yield impacting the farmers.

Drought Condition

Private 7th generation farmers with over 10,000 hectares growing Jowar, Wheat, Begalgram and other crops.

To increase yields and health of crop for higher returns.

During the 2 seasons the area was plagued with drought. GGOIM treated crops produced a yield, whereas chemical treated products died.
During both seasons GGOIM treated products produced higher and healthier, diseases free crop compared to the chemically treated counterpart.

Rhodes Grass

Ministry of Agriculture Testing : MENA Region

To test conventional methods Vs GGOIM products.

GGOIM products build healthy and nutrient rich pasture grasses, hay, and fodder from the root zone up. This has been proven for all types of grasses - from Rhodes grass to fescue. To read full report please visit resources section and download the report.

A study to test the response of GGOOM liquid fertilizer for growth and development of two grass species. Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana L.) and local Buffel grass.

Sugarcane has always been a “darling” of farmers. The crop can endure weather and gives farmers fix returns because the sugar mills purchase at a price fixed by the Indian government.
