Field experiment demonstrates improved yield of corn through seed treatment with bentonite clay, suggesting cost-effective farming methods.
In a small-scale field experiment, the effect of pre-sowing seed treatment with 2 variants of bentonite clay (native (natural) and its acid-activated forms) on the yield of green mass and corn cobs was studied. Montmorillonite K-10 was used as the standard. Experiments conducted on corn of the Krasnodar 201 AMB variety in 2024 showed a comparable, significant increase in the yield of green mass, including cobs, in all processing options. The results obtained indicate the expediency of using bentonite clays for pre-sowing seed treatment.
