In trials
conducted on 15 fields in California, rice heads in the untreated
control plots averaged only 53.3% as heavy as the heads harvested
from plots that were treated twice with Bird Shield™
at a rate of one pint per acre. (Chart Below) |

In field Trials in Panama,
Bird Shield™ was sprayed over pre-soaked seed to test
its effectiveness in reducing bird predation on sprouting rice. In
addition to untreated plots, a number of plots were covered with wire
mesh to better judge the effects in an environment of zero bird predation.
The results showed Bird Shield™ to be effective in
increasing the survival rate of sprouts. There were no adverse effects
on the crops at harvest. (Chart Below) |
