Blueberries
30 days storage at 0°C
KPCB technology was installed on 4 acres of blueberries in December 2019 and harvested in August 2020. Post-harvest quality measurements were completed after 30 days of cold storage at 0°C, evaluating fruit size, shelf life, flavor quality, and commercial profit.
| Quality Metric | Kyminasi (KPCB) | Control | Gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fruit >19 mm diameter ★ Top Result | 88% | 78% | +10% |
| Fruit with no bruising (shelf life) | 83% | 79% | +4% |
| Flavor quality (Brix acidity ratio) | Improved | Standard | Superior |
| Additional profit vs. control | +$12,497 | Baseline | +$12,497 |
| Storage conditions | 30 days @ 0°C | 30 days @ 0°C | Matched |
Installation: December 2019 · Harvest: August 2020 · Post-harvest quality assessed after 30 days cold storage at 0°C
The KPCB blueberry field achieved greater yields and produced $12,497 more in profit than the control field. Post-harvest analysis after 30 days at 0°C showed that 88% of KPCB fruit exceeded the 19 mm export diameter threshold — compared to 78% in the control — and 83% remained bruise-free versus 79% for the control. Flavor quality, as measured by the Brix acidity ratio, also improved in the KPCB crop.

The Kyminasi Plants Crop Booster™ (KPCB) technology was installed on a field of Brigitta blueberries in Chile. The trial measured overall yield and the percentage of fruit meeting export-grade standards — the key commercial metric for blueberry growers supplying international markets.
| Yield Metric | Kyminasi (KPCB) | Control | Gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exportable blueberry yield ★ Top Result | Export-grade | Baseline | +56% |
| Overall total yield | Higher | Baseline | +26% |
| Export-grade share of total harvest | Improved | Standard | Superior |
| Variety | Brigitta | Brigitta | Matched |
Trial Type: Commercial field trial comparing KPCB-treated field vs. untreated control field
The KPCB-treated Brigitta blueberry field produced a 26% increase in overall yield compared to the control. More significantly, the higher quality of KPCB fruit translated into a 56% increase in exportable blueberries — the commercially decisive outcome for growers supplying international markets. A greater share of the total harvest met export-grade standards, directly amplifying revenue potential beyond what raw yield numbers alone would suggest.
