A follow-up to the August 2026 Jordan pilot: corn developing under one integrated MNG programme — soil, water and foliar nutrition managed as a single system, with 40% lower irrigation water use.
Jordan — September 2026. A follow-up to our August 2026 Jordan pilot, where rice and corn first grew successfully under a single MNG system.
In this follow-up trial, corn is developing under a complete MNG programme — without a conventional chemical fertiliser or pesticide programme in the MNG treatment.
One Integrated MNG Programme — From Soil to Foliar
What happens when corn nutrition is managed as one connected Soil · Water · Plant system?
The approach integrates five MNG technologies, each with a defined agronomic role:
- CaMgS — soil conditioning and mineral balance
- BioRock-P — mineral phosphorus source
- PhosActiv — supporting phosphorus mobilisation and availability
- AquaSave — root-zone moisture management
- AminoTreat — targeted foliar support during crop development
The strategy starts below ground.
First, support the root-zone environment.
Then manage moisture and nutrient availability.
Finally, complement the soil programme with targeted foliar nutrition as the crop develops.
Water: Doing More With Less
Irrigation water use was reported to be 40% lower than the conventional control.
Irrigation was applied every four days for approximately 10 minutes per event — a fraction of conventional water demand, enabled by AquaSave root-zone moisture management.
Field Observations
Field observations show a well-established, green and vigorous corn stand with substantial vegetative development under the MNG programme.
The Significance
The significance of this trial is the integrated approach:
One MNG programme supporting corn from soil preparation through vegetative development — combining soil management, moisture management, phosphorus strategy and foliar nutrition.
Build the soil. Manage the water. Support the plant.
