The direct treated-versus-control yield measurements supplied are 42 metric tons and 24 metric tons, respectively, which supports the reported 75% difference. The source states that KPCB was installed on 5 hectares, but it does not provide the control-field acreage; therefore, a per-hectare treated-versus-control comparison should not be calculated from the supplied information. The 30% water deficit is reported as a regional drought condition in Casma rather than a measured 30% irrigation reduction specifically applied to the KPCB field. For that reason, this page does not state that Crop Booster reduced irrigation by 30%. The source also reports a 52.5% increase compared with the treated field's previous year's yield but does not supply the previous-year raw tonnage. No measurements of vine water status, physiological drought tolerance, Brix, berry size, fertilizer or pesticide use, production cost, or revenue were supplied.

Why this matters for grape growers: The strongest documented result in this Casma field comparison is production: 42 metric tons of Red Globe grapes from the Crop Booster field compared with 24 metric tons from the control, a 75% difference. The result was recorded during drought conditions that the source describes as creating a 30% regional water deficit, providing useful field context for the yield comparison.

The supplied case study reports a 97% increase in overall grape yield compared with the control crop, but it does not provide the underlying treated and control yield tonnage or yield per hectare. The 97% value is therefore retained as a source-reported result rather than independently recalculated. The three-week earlier harvest result is reported relative to neighboring fields, not explicitly the same control crop used for the 97% yield comparison. The source provides 66 clusters per treated plant but does not provide a control cluster count, so no percentage cluster increase is calculated. Grapes greater than 19 mm, homogeneous bunch sizing, and elimination of harvest selection are reported observations; no full size-distribution measurements, packaging labor data, Brix, berry weight, water use, fertilizer use, pesticide use, production cost, or revenue figures were supplied.

Why this matters for grape growers: This Scarlotta grape case combines production and harvest-quality observations. Treated plants were reported with 66 clusters per plant, grapes greater than 19 mm with homogeneous sizing, and harvest beginning three weeks before neighboring fields. The source additionally reports a 97% overall yield increase compared with the control crop.

This case study is based on historical production and expected future production rather than a completed treated-versus-control harvest comparison. The field historically produced 1,200 boxes per year and was expected to produce 3,200 boxes per year following treatment. The change from 1,200 to 3,200 boxes represents an expected increase of approximately 166.7%. The earlier page described this as a comparison with a control field, but the supplied details identify 1,200 boxes as the historical production of the same field; no separate control-field production figure is supplied. The source also states that the field “fully recovered in health” from Spanish mite pressure, but no mite counts, damage ratings, pesticide-use measurements, or quantified recovery percentage are provided. For that reason, field-health recovery is presented qualitatively rather than as a numerical 100% result. No final harvested 3,200-box result, per-hectare yield, Brix, grape size, water use, fertilizer use, production cost, or revenue measurements were supplied.

Why this matters for grape growers: This Thompson grape case documents a vineyard that had experienced several years of production pressure associated with Spanish mites. Historical production was approximately 1,200 boxes per year. After the field was described as having fully recovered in health under KPCB treatment, expected annual production was reported at 3,200 boxes, approximately 167% above the historical level.

Technology: Kyminasi® Plant Booster

The source reports 500 additional boxes from the KPCB treatment but does not provide total treated and control box counts, so a percentage production increase cannot be calculated. It states that treated fruit size improved from 24 mm to 26 mm, while the control crop averaged 21–22 mm. Because 24 mm appears to represent an earlier treated measurement rather than the control value, those measurements are preserved separately rather than combined into one percentage comparison. The source also reports no fungal damage on KPCB-treated grape plants in an area without greenhouse covering despite 50 mm of rain. This is presented as a field observation and not as proof of disease resistance, because fungal incidence counts, disease severity scores, pathogen identification, fungicide applications, and equivalent control-area fungal measurements were not supplied. The source describes a 2-hectare installation in a total context of 15 fields, but does not provide enough detail to determine the acreage of each of those 15 fields or whether all were treated.

Why this matters for grape growers: This ARRA grape case documents both production and fruit sizing observations. KPCB treatment was associated with 500 additional boxes, treated grapes reaching 26 mm compared with a reported 21–22 mm average in the control, and no observed fungal damage in an uncovered treated area during a reported 50 mm rain event.

The supplied source reports an absolute production increase of 1,640 kg but does not provide the original production baseline or a simultaneous control production figure, so a percentage yield increase cannot be calculated from the supplied information. Likewise, Brix increased by 1 degree, but the starting and final Brix values are not supplied. Soil electrical conductivity is reported as changing from 2.3 dS/m, described by the source as “high,” to 1.7 dS/m, described as “normal.” The plant-tissue differences of +14% nitrogen, +10% phosphorus, +47% iron, and +20% boron are reported after 14 days, but the underlying raw laboratory values are not supplied. The previous headline also referenced 23% higher profit, 30% more roots, and 33% more vigorous vines; no corresponding profit figures, root measurements, vigor measurements, or comparison values appear in the supplied dataset, so those claims are not included here.

Why this matters for grape growers: This Thompson grape trial documents several production and crop-quality measurements within a relatively short pre-harvest treatment period. The source reports 1,640 kg of additional production, a 1° Brix increase, soil electrical conductivity changing from 2.3 to 1.7 dS/m, and higher nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, and boron measurements in plant tissue after 14 days.
