Bananas
6 treatments · 24 plots
A scientific trial to measure the effect of Kyminasi® Crop Booster™ irrigation technology on the growth parameters and yield of Black Gram. The trial used a Randomized Block Design with six treatment combinations — from absolute control through varying fertilization levels — across 24 plots.
| Treatment | Description | Yield Outcome | Growth Attributes |
|---|---|---|---|
| T2 ★ Superior | Crop Booster irrigation + 100% Recommended Dose of Fertilizer (RDF) | +32% vs. traditional | Best — plant height, branches & biomass all highest |
| T3–T5 | Crop Booster irrigation with varying RDF levels (75%–50%) | Above control | Improved vs. control — diminishing returns at lower RDF |
| T6 | Crop Booster irrigation without fertilizer addition | Above control | Technology benefit observed even without fertilizer input |
| T1 Absolute Control | Conventional irrigation — no Crop Booster, no RDF | Baseline | Lowest yield and growth of all treatments |

Trial conducted using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 6 treatments and 24 plots. The technology-based irrigation system (KPCB) consistently outperformed conventional methods across all growth and yield parameters. The superior T2 combination — Crop Booster irrigation with 100% Recommended Dose of Fertilizer — demonstrates that integrating advanced irrigation with tailored fertilization significantly enhances crop productivity.
G9 Cavendish · 135 days observed
An on-farm trial in Jalgaon — India's largest banana-producing district — evaluating the effect of the Kyminasi HH Microchip on banana G9 plants over 135 days. Growth measurements were taken at 40, 55, 80, 110, and 135 days after transplanting (DAT), tracking plant height, leaf count, leaf length, canopy development, and harvestable plant percentage.
| Observation (DAT) | Control Height (cm) | Kyminasi Height (cm) | Gain (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 DAT — Early Growth | 23.96 | 27.04 | +12.85% |
| 55 DAT ★ Peak Gain | 33.44 | 38.28 | +14.47% |
| 80 DAT — Mid Season | 55.64 | 57.64 | +3.59% |
| 110 DAT — Late Season | 96.88 | 98.80 | +1.98% |
| 135 DAT Pre-Harvest | 118.20 | 119.64 | +1.21% |

The largest height advantage was observed during the critical early growth phase (40–55 DAT), where Kyminasi-treated plants were up to 14.47% taller than controls, with 9–11% more leaves and 8–10% longer leaves. Treated plants also showed stronger early vigor, a better-developed canopy, and improved leaf appearance throughout the observation period. A slightly higher percentage of treated plants reached harvestable condition at season's end.
