Leaf Chlorophyll Content
– University of Portsmouth
 University of
Portsmouth research confirmed that root drenching increased
tomato leaf chlorophyll content by 20-50%.
A second experiment
– using a cotyledon bioassay technique on cucumbers confirmed
a 300% improvement in chlorophyll levels six weeks after a root
drench.
This data is
confirmed by a range of independent researchers throughout Europe,
using chlorophyll meter tests in crops
during periods of active in-season growth.
