    The 2024 Fertilup project in Colombia's Meta region found the best rice result, a 47% yield increase, came from MaxSil powder combined with nitrogen and compost.

    The Fertilup project was run in 2024 in the Meta region of Colombia by Bogota research company Didesagro PN SAS.

    MaxSil was tested at 50 and 80 kg/ha, with and without compost, across three replicates.

    The best result was a 47% yield increase from MaxSil powder combined with nitrogen and compost.

    MaxSil applied on its own lifted yield by up to 21%, and MaxSil with compost by up to 35%.
