+26% total production and higher fruit Brix across three harvest months
Request a QuoteA greenhouse strawberry grower wanted to increase marketable production and fruit quality without changing the existing nutrient program. The trial compared an untreated control against plants treated with an ABI microbial consortium of beneficial bacteria and fungi, tracking harvest volume and fruit Brix, the measure of soluble sugar content, across three consecutive months of harvest from December through February.
Across the three-month harvest, the untreated control set the baseline for both volume and quality, averaging Brix readings of 10.72, 9.86, and 9.64 by month. In fresh strawberries, sweeter, higher-Brix fruit earns better grades and repeat buyers, so Brix and total volume together define how marketable a crop is.
The treated plants produced about 26% more total fruit than the control over the same three months, and recorded higher Brix in every month, 11.22, 10.86, and 10.71 versus the control's 10.72, 9.86, and 9.64. The treated rows were also visibly fuller with more fruit by week 10. More volume and sweeter fruit together point to both a larger and a more marketable strawberry crop.
