Initial average count of pill bugs (Armadillidium vulgare) in the trial area was 100 BB/m2. This moment was identified as day 0 from application (DFA). First assessment 6 days after application revealed a significant difference between bait treatments and the control. Both products showed good control levels, but CIBUS-BB achieved a control efficiency of 67%, superior to the other tested product whose control efficacy was 54%. Assessment 12 days after application evidenced increased control levels, with CIBUS-BB managing higher values in comparison to the other commercial bait. This trial helped prove that use of CIBUS-BB resulted in very effective pill bug control. These values were superior to those obtained with another commercially available product.

Application of Gradix resulted in a 14% yield increase compared to the control group. Also, Gradix application combined with conventional fertilizer treatment produced an additional 5% yield increase compared to the application of regular phosphorus fertilizer at sowing. These results indicate both a significant growth promotion effect of Gradix, and an enhancing effect on traditional chemical fertilizers.
