32% increase in yield Lovely Professional University (LPU) in Phagwara, Punjab, India

Details

Presenter/Scientist: The report was presented by Rameshwar Pandey, M.Sc. (Agronomy) , and theadvisor/scientist was Dr. Rubina Gill, Professor of Agronomy.
Crop and Variety: Black Gram (Vigna mungo L.) , specifically the Mash 1038 variety.
Goal: To test and measure the effect of Kyminasi® Crop Booster™ irrigation (Technological) on thegrowth parameters and yield of black gram.
Design: Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 6 treatments and 24 plots.

Results

Overall Performance: The technology-based irrigation system consistently outperformed conventionalmethods in terms of growth and yield for black gram.
Highlighted Boost (T2 Combination):
The T2 input combination (Crop Booster irrigation with 100% RDF) boosted the biological weight by +18%.
The same combination (T2) boosted grain production per hectare by +6.5%.
Yield Comparison (T2 vs. Traditional):
T2 (100% RDF) demonstrated a 32% increase in yield compared to the traditional irrigation method.
This highlights the efficacy of using the full recommended dose of fertilizers with technology-based irrigation.
Improved Growth Attributes: Growth parameters, including plant height, number of branches, and biomass,were notably better in the T2 (100% RDF) treatment.
Superior Treatment: The superior treatment combination (T2) demonstrates that integrating advancedirrigation with tailored fertilization significantly enhances crop productivity.
Lowest Treatment: The lowest yield and growth demonstration for black gram was the T1 (Absolute control)treatment combination

Results:

Plant Height: The HH Microchip treatment showed clearearly growth improvement, with plant height about 12–13%higher at 40 DAT compared with the control.
Growth Observations: HH-treated plants showed strongerearly vigor, with 9–11% more leaves and 8–10% longer leavesat 40–55 DAT, along with a better-developed canopy andimproved leaf appearance.
Yield: The HH Microchip treatment produced a slightlyhigher percentage of harvested plants (around 0.7% more)than the control.
