Documenting Plant Results for ORMUS Usage
by Barry Carter
If you grow plants using ORMUS and wish to share
your results here are some hints for documenting these results in the most helpful way. These hints are
arranged from most important at the top to less important but very helpful scientifically lower on the
list:
1. Take lots of pictures of the plants and produce of these plants. I appreciate pictures more
than anything else. If you just send pictures without any other measurements it is fine. If you want to
improve the value of your pictures, however, you can do this in the following ways:
a. Include something else of known size in the picture to help people see the size of your
plants or produce. If you are illustrating a large plant you can have someone stand next to it to give
an idea of its relative size as illustrated in the pictures of raspberries, corn and walnut trees
below.
b. Include a familiar object of similar size if you are illustrating the size of produce like
in the pictures of oranges and walnuts below.
c. Include a ruler or tape measure in your picture as illustrated in the pictures above and
onions below.
d. If you include a measuring device in your picture it is helpful if you orient it as close
to horizontal or vertical as possible in the picture. This makes it easy for me to copy a section of
the measuring device and paste it over the fruit or vegetable in the picture and get an accurate idea
of the size of the item as I did below:
e. It is also very helpful to place the fruits or vegetables you are photographing on the
floor with a even colored background (like on a piece of paper or cardboard) so that you can get a
picture from directly above the produce. This helps keep every item in the picture in the same relative
size. A more distant item will look smaller than a nearer item even though they may be the same size.
This can distort the proportions of a plant as you can see in the picture below where the size of the
root mass is exaggerated because it is closer to the camera.
f. Notice also that the larger plants in the picture above are on the left. I prefer to have the
"before" or "without" plants on the left and the "after" or "ORMUS" plants on the right. To do this
with the picture above I flipped the picture and copied the yardstick from the original into the
flipped picture as you can see below.
Using these rules I was able to compose the picture of plums below from two pictures taken a
year apart.
2. If you wish to do an actual measured comparison between plants which had two different
treatments it is good to weigh the plants without the treatment and compare them with the treatment. This
is illustrated in the picture above and in the pictures and text at: Sea-Crop Tests
