Higher yields while reducing water and fertilizer.
Crop Booster-treated blocks outperformed the control blocks at every tested reduction level across both years. The 20% reduction scenario delivered a 31% Year 2 yield gain while using less water and fertilizer.
Best Reduction Scenario
The 20% reduction block produced a 31% Year 2 yield gain.
Consistent Performance
Treated blocks outperformed controls at every tested reduction level.
Reduced Inputs
Yield gains remained positive with water and fertilizer reduced by up to 30%.
| Water & Fertilizer | Year 1 · Crop Booster | Year 1 · Control | Year 2 · Crop Booster | Year 2 · Control |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | +20% | 0% | +31% | 0% |
| 10% Reduction | +24% | 0% | +29% | 0% |
| 20% Reduction | +22% | 0% | +31% | 0% |
| 30% Reduction | +20% | 0% | +23% | 0% |
Three blocks treated with the Kyminasi® Plants Crop Booster™ were compared against three similar untreated control blocks. Five replications were conducted using standard water and fertilizer application, reducing inputs by 10% at each replication step. Results shown represent percentage yield gain over control across two consecutive growing seasons.
Why this matters for almond growers: The trial showed higher almond yields across multiple input reduction levels. The 20% reduction scenario produced a 31% Year 2 yield gain while using less water and fertilizer, combining stronger production with reduced farm inputs.
