100% Higher Forage Production With a 15+ Day Earlier First Cut
At the Polytechnic University of Chimborazo in Ecuador, a mixed field of alfalfa, ryegrass, and blue clover receiving Kyminasi® Plants Crop Booster™ treated irrigation produced 12–14 t/ha of fresh forage compared with 6–8 t/ha in the control, while reaching first cut more than 15 days earlier.

Higher forage yield, taller plants, and an earlier harvest.
After four waterings and 28 days of observation, the treated mixed-forage field measured 55–60 cm in plant height compared with 25–30 cm in the control. Fresh forage production was reported at 12–14 t/ha versus 6–8 t/ha, and the treated field reached first cut at day 38–40 compared with day 55 for the control.
Greater Vigor
The treated field was reported to show visibly stronger and denser forage growth.
Deeper Green Color
Alfalfa, ryegrass, and blue clover in the treated area were reported with a deeper green appearance.
Taller Plants
At day 28, treated plants measured 55–60 cm compared with 25–30 cm in the control.
Earlier First Cut
The treated field reached cutting stage at day 38–40, more than 15 days ahead of the control.

Fresh Forage Yield: 12–14 t/ha Treated vs. 6–8 t/ha Control
First Cut: Day 38–40 Treated vs. Day 55 Control
The source reports a 100% increase in production. The underlying yield values are provided as ranges: 12–14 t/ha in the Crop Booster field and 6–8 t/ha in the control. Because the source does not provide exact single-value yields within those ranges, the reported 100% headline is preserved rather than recalculating a different percentage from assumed averages.
Why this matters for forage and pasture operations: This university field trial documented both greater forage production and a shorter time to first cut. The Crop Booster field produced 12–14 t/ha of fresh forage compared with 6–8 t/ha in the control and reached harvest at day 38–40 rather than day 55. For operations dependent on forage availability, those two outcomes represent more biomass produced within a shorter growth cycle.
