Trial Design: Matched inputs with irrigation-water treatment as the only variable.

Both fields received the same agricultural inputs and were grown under comparable conditions. The sole trial variable was the irrigation water: Crop Booster-treated water versus standard water.

Why this matters for bottle gourd growers: In this controlled university field trial, Crop Booster-treated plants produced fruit that was 22% heavier while also producing 26% more fruits per plant. Fruit circumference increased by 20%, fruit length by 9%, and multiple seed-development measurements were also higher than the standard-water control.
