Higher production with lower pest pressure and plant mortality.
The Crop Booster-treated artichoke field produced 16 metric tons compared with 13 metric tons in the untreated control, while also recording fewer nematodes, lower mortality, and reduced gall incidence.
Higher Yield
Production increased from 13 to 16 metric tons.
Fewer Nematodes
Nematode presence was reduced by 50%.
Lower Mortality
Plant mortality fell from 1.37% to 0.68%.
Lower Gall Grade
Gall incidence improved from Grade 2 to Grade 1.
| Result Category | Control | Crop Booster |
|---|---|---|
| Total Yield | 13 Metric Tons | 16 Metric Tons · +27% |
| Plant Mortality | 1.37% | 0.68% · 50% Lower |
| Nematode Presence | Baseline | 50% Fewer |
| Gall Incidence | Grade 2 | Grade 1 |
Crop Booster technology was installed on an artichoke field in the highlands of Arequipa, Peru, and compared against a neighboring untreated control field under equivalent growing conditions. The reduction in nematodes and gall grade corresponded with greater plant health and vigor during the trial period.
Why this matters for artichoke growers: In this Peru field trial, the Crop Booster-treated field produced 27% more yield while recording 50% fewer nematodes, approximately 50% lower plant mortality, and a lower gall incidence grade compared with the untreated control.
