Rooted in Results: What Real-World Growers See with Maxstim
Insight

Real-world proof, not theory
For farmers, results matter more than claims. Maxstim treatments consistently deliver higher yields, stronger plants and better crop quality under real conditions, across soils, climates and crop pressures.
Greenhouse results: stronger roots, longer harvests
In Ontario, Canada, one of the world’s largest greenhouse hubs, around 40% of growers now use Maxstim. They see:
- Denser, more active root systems
- Better resilience under heat and disease pressure
- Longer picking windows, with healthy fruit into October
The difference is visible: stronger roots, stronger crops.
Peppers: proven shelf-life advantage
A Canadian trial showed peppers harvested on 30 May stored for 19 days:
- Untreated: 14% weight loss, shrivelling
- Maxstim-treated: 10% weight loss, firmer fruit
Improved water retention and nutrient uptake translate into fresher produce and higher returns.
Potatoes: 36 commercial trials, consistent gains
Across 14 varieties and 36 trials:
- Average 9% yield uplift
- £600–£800/ha more margin
- Improved skin finish, opening access to premium markets
These results are from real commercial fields, not controlled plots.
Root and leaf scans confirm the science
Research at Queen’s University Belfast found:
- Longer root length and more lateral tips
- Denser fine roots for nutrient and water uptake
- Darker foliage, signalling higher chlorophyll and stronger photosynthesis
From scepticism to adoption
Farmers are rightly cautious. That’s why Maxstim trials are run on real farms, side by side with standard practice. Once growers see the proof, they scale up.
As one grower put it:
“I’d only believe it if I saw it in a commercial-scale trial. Now I use it across the board.”
Results you can measure
- Longer shelf life
- Better skin finish
