Abstract

Increasing human populations are creating challenges in food production and water management. Improving resource management with advances in technology is needed to meet these challenges. Swift Wet ® is a protein enhanced surfactant created by the Advanced BioCatalytics Corporation of Irvine, California. The liquid concentrate had been tested in various bench tests with successful results that merited a field level experiment that is presented in this article. It was shown to enhance the yield of an alfalfa crop in a sandy loam soil by 27.9% and 81.6% in test fields versus their respective control fields. Although there are several ways to improve the experiment further, the results of this study are encouraging. They support a conclusion that, in a sandy loam soil type, Swift Wet® can significantly improve yields of alfalfa.
