116 Bales
The KPCB-treated pivot produced 116 bales during Cut 2.
132 Bales
The same KPCB-treated pivot produced 132 bales during Cut 3.
Two Controls
Results were compared against two untreated control pivots.
Same Conditions
Control pivots operated under identical irrigation scheduling and trial conditions.
| Pivot | Cut 2 Bales | Gain vs. Control | Cut 3 Bales | Gain vs. Control |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pivot 1 · KPCB | 116 | — | 132 | — |
| Pivot 3 · Control 1 | 97 | +20% | 118 | +12% |
| Pivot 4 · Control 2 | 73 | +59% | 120 | +10% |
