The math of 12% average: If all 27 beds had been treated, the number of harvested cilantro cartons would increase by 1,062.
- Over the course of one year, 52 plantings
- 52 x 1062 = 55224 more cartons to sell per year
- 55,224 x $15 per carton = $828,360 annually
There's even better news
Flags 1, 2 and 3 represent 3 different variations of treatment
Treatment #1 performed best, achieving a 13.9% increase
- Increase = 46 cartons per bed
- 46 x 27 beds = 1242 cartons
- 1,242 cartons x 52 harvests = 64584
- 64,584 cartons x $15 = $968,760 annually
