# Plasma Strike Trial Data

 

## $2,400 spent on urea. Or $150 on air, water and electricity.

**🐮 Elevate your pasture with Plasma Strike**

 Swapped for urea on a side-by-side paddock, Plasma Strike cut the annual nitrogen bill from **$2,400** to **$150** on a South West Victorian dairy. Two 5-hectare paddocks, same farm, same season, same six applications, same grazings. Only the nitrogen source changed.

 

Cost per hectare: **$480** on urea. **$30** on Plasma Strike. Saving: **$450/ha, every year**. Across the 100 hectares this farm is converting next, that's **$45,000**. And the pasture didn't give anything away for it. FeedTest put the Plasma Strike paddock at **30.2% crude protein** against **26.6%, and 12.6 MJ/kg DM** against 11.5.

## 🌽11.65 t/ha vs 11.33 t/ha 🌽

## **Plasma Strike VS Conventional UAN - maize grain yield.**

![Plasma\_Strike\_Maize\_Grain\_Yield\_PS\_Left](https://go.plasmastrike.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Plasma_Strike_Maize_Grain_Yield_PS_Left.png?width=1736&height=1110&name=Plasma_Strike_Maize_Grain_Yield_PS_Left.png "Plasma_Strike_Maize_Grain_Yield_PS_Left")

 🌽 Commercial grain maize trial — Cocoroc, Victoria 

> A commercial grain maize trial conducted by RezolvAg compared Plasma Strike with the farm’s conventional in-crop UAN nitrogen program. Both paddocks received the same pre-sowing and sowing nitrogen inputs, with Plasma Strike replacing the conventional post-emergent UAN applications.Both treatments maintained leaf nitrogen within the farm’s target range. At harvest, adjusted yields at 13% moisture were **11.65 t/ha for Plasma Strike and 11.33 t/ha for conventional UAN.**

## 74.2 g vs 49.8 g. ~49% more fresh weight.

![Screenshot 2026-07-14 174100v2](https://go.plasmastrike.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-07-14%20174100v2.jpg?width=1323&height=607&name=Screenshot%202026-07-14%20174100v2.jpg "Screenshot 2026-07-14 174100v2")

**💧 ~3c a litre. ~49% more fresh weight**

In an independent Olds College controlled-environment trial, vertical-grown **lettuce** was run two ways — same light, same system, same standard nutrition program, with only a weekly **Plasma Strike** foliar added on one side.

Treated plants finished about **49% heavier**, and it held right through: every treated wall out-yielded every control wall, across all four zones and top to bottom of each tower. Leaf tissue carried about **59% more nitrogen per plant** — the nitrogen we pull out of the air, ending up in the leaf.

## Same fungicide. Different carrier. Two programs, same direction.

 **💧 $0.31/ha of carrier. +$56.38/ha net.** 

In a 2025 Precision Technology Institute corn trial, a standard fungicide pass was run two ways — same active, same rate, same sprayer — with only the carrier changed. Water in one treatment, Plasma Strike in the other. Plasma Strike is plasma activated water, made on-farm from air, water and electricity.

The Plasma Strike treatment recorded **+220 kg/ha** over the water carrier.

## 19 reasons to use Plasma Strike as your spray carrier in Potatoes

![Screenshot 2026-05-28 163621](https://go.plasmastrike.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20163621.jpg?width=759&height=520&name=Screenshot%202026-05-28%20163621.jpg "Screenshot 2026-05-28 163621")

🥔 **Same spray rig. Same program. More potatoes.**

What happens to your tonnage when you swap the water in your tank? In a replicated Tasmanian processing-potato trial, **Plasma Strike PAW** used as the spray carrier delivered **+2.34 T/ha extra yield** and **+$1,077/ha extra revenue** — roughly a **35× return** on the Plasma Strike spend — with no extra pass, no new product slot, and no withholding concerns.

Defect tonnage dropped (green and virus-affected tubers fell to zero), mid-size in-spec product more than doubled, and solids held steady.

## The cheapest nitrogen application you'll ever make. 2 years in a row.

**💸 $2.25/ha in. ~$58/ha back**

Applied as a single 75 L/ha foliar spray pass at V6, Plasma Strike delivered a positive net return in both 2024 and 2025 independent Precision Technology Institute trials. Two consecutive seasons, two different corn hybrids.

Total treatment cost: A$2.25/ha. Average net return: +A$58/ha. That's better than 25:1 on a single pass.

## Carrier Study: Water vs PAW

**💧 Water vs PAW as your spray carrier? The difference is much bigger than you think.**

Across multiple Beck’s Practical Farm Research sites, replacing plain water with **Plasma Activated Water** from **Plasma Strike** as the spray carrier **consistently lifted yield and return on investment**.

## UAN & Plasma Strike Program Outperforms

![Green Photographic Environment Charity Bio-Link Website](https://go.plasmastrike.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Green%20Photographic%20Environment%20Charity%20Bio-Link%20Website.png?width=1280&height=720&name=Green%20Photographic%20Environment%20Charity%20Bio-Link%20Website.png "Green Photographic Environment Charity Bio-Link Website")

🌽Programs using UAN and Plasma Strike consistently outperformed single-source nitrogen on overall return.

The standout 50/50 program delivered higher dry matter yield while slashing fertiliser costs by up to $483/ha and returning **+$3,291/ha higher net return** vs standard UAN — plus significantly higher milk and beef output per hectare.

## Application Timing Study: Soy Beans

🫘Plasma Strike was tested at four key application timings in soybeans.

Yield responses ranged from **+54 to +141 kg/ha**, with the **R3 foliar application** delivering the strongest result: **+141 kg/ha** and **+$78/ha ROI**.

R3 was the clear standout, delivering the highest yield and best ROI across all timings.
