Dr. Donn Shilling - Former Director University of Florida West and Mid-Florida Research Center.
Crop -Tomato - Studies conducted at the University of Florida-Gainesville IFAS-Experiment
Station. Highly controlled field experiments subjected to irrigation, normal fertilization and
standard pesticide applications thru out crop cycle. Sole environmental or cultural practice variable
is SC27 microbes.
Treatment - 16 oz./acre - Liquid formulation, 27 soil microbes. 3 reps per crop and 3 rows treated
and 3 rows non treated. Control - No SC27 Treatment
Data- Total above ground fruit production at harvest - Weight measured in university standard
metric system

Central State University Ohio
TRIAL CONDUCTED BY DR. CANDACE LOWELL
Dr. Candace Lowell
Crop - Tomato - Field plots were established by Dr Lowell at the American Aggregates field site in Xenia Ohio.
Trial: 200 - 6 inch plants of Big Boy Tomato were planted. Half of plants were treated at planting with 16 oz/acre of
SC27. 1/2 non treated with SC27. SC27 was the only environmental or cultural variable. Standard Fertilization,
Pesticides and irrigation used on both plots.
Data - Durning the growing season Dr Lowell took 4 harvests of ripe Tomato’s. Data is the total weight of all Tomato
Fruit at each harvest. Numbers in University standard metic system - Kilograms
