Increase quality, quantity and return on investment Stoller’s Solutions for Macadamias stoller.com.au “ We started using RootFeed at low rates in newly planted orchards and saw a definite increase in tree vigour in a short period of time. Since then, we have incorporated it into our established orchards and it is now a staple in our nutrition program. We have seen the health of our trees change dramatically by adding RoodFeed into our wholistic plan. RootFeed showed a higher density of fibrous (feeder) roots around the base of the trees which has helped to enhance our robust program. Commercial Macadamia Grower - Bundaberg To ensure that Stoller solutions for macadamia crops increase quality, quantity and return on investment of your Macadamia crop, we have undertaken numerous in-field trials with proven results. Out in the field, our goal is to improve nut set and weight, and increase nuts per tree.
