Two adjacent fields compared — both treated equally with inputs. The test field was irrigated with Kyminasi® Plants Crop Booster™ water; the control field was irrigated with standard water.
| S/N | Parameters | KPCB Treated | Control | Gain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | No. of fruits / plant | 9.70 | 8.80 | +10.2% |
| 2 | Fruit circumference (cm) | 22.5 | 19.2 | +17.2% |
| 3 | Fruit weight (g) ★ Peak Gain | 95.4 | 69.6 | +37% |
| 4 | Fruit length (cm) | 11.2 | 10.3 | +8.7% |
| 5 | Total yield (g / plant) | 1,546.8 | 1,337.6 | +15.6% |
| 6 | Aroma (Sensory evaluation — 10 pt) | 8.9 / 10 | 6.8 / 10 | +31% |
| 7 | Luster (Sensory evaluation — 10 pt) | 8.7 / 10 | 7.2 / 10 | +21% |
Kyminasi fruits were 37% heavier, showed a 15.6% increase in per-plant yield, were 10.2% taller on average, had 9.1% more harvest cuttings per season, produced 10.2% more fruits per plant, with 17.2% larger circumference and 8.7% longer fruits.
Valle del Cauca · Colombia
The Kyminasi Plants Crop Booster™ technology was installed in the last growth stage (9th month) of a Chile Habanero pepper crop in Colombia.
The producer indicated that as soon as they began using KPCB, an improvement in the health of the KPCB treated pepper plants was observed as the leaves became a brighter green color and new shoots grew prolifically. Historically, the normal pattern for this growth stage of the pepper crop was a decrease in the size of the fruit and a drop in production yields. Even in this late growth stage, the pepper plants that were treated with KPCB technology produced a greater quantity of peppers than the control plants and these peppers were larger than ever before. The producer also indicated that the need for agrichemical applications to control rust and mites was reduced with KPCB use. The producer also indicated that he noticed less fruit drop and fruit cracking, as well as improved pepper shelf life and a greater post-harvest storage consistency with KPCB use as compared to the control crop.

Crop Booster technology was installed in a paprika greenhouse.
| Comparison | Control Yield | KPCB Yield |
|---|---|---|
| Kg per Plant Produced on the 1st Harvest | 1 | 2 |
| Agrichemical Needed | Yes | None |
The Crop Booster crop had great health with no presence of any pests or diseases. This was the first time that agrichemicals were not needed on that field in the last 17 years.
Pepper King Farms · Spring 2015
Pepper King Farms is a farm in Panama that grows several varieties of bell peppers, onions, and other vegetables in greenhouses. Pepper King had been growing in greenhouses on the farm since 2011. They are the largest pepper farm in Panama. The owner installed the Natural Kyminasi Plant Booster (KPCB) Technology in one of his greenhouses and compared the results of that greenhouse to his other greenhouses.
Kyminasi greenhouse produced 70% more peppers by weight versus the control greenhouses. The peppers averaged about 20%-30% larger than control specimens. The added weight resulted from a thicker skin membrane. An additional test was done on the fruit to measure the difference in the shelf life of the peppers. Similar specimens were placed on a shelf and allowed to decompose over 30 days. The Control peppers decomposed at the normal rate. The Kyminasi peppers decomposed at a rate 10-14 days slower than the control peppers, indicating a better shelf life and overall better quality than the control fruit. A disease infested his greenhouses toward the end of the season and all control plants died within one week of exposure. The Kyminasi Plants showed more resiliency, living for an additional three weeks before finally succumbing to the disease. The owner Ariel Flores remarked that he had never seen plants fight off such a virulent attack before.

Pepper King Farms is a farm in Panama that grows several varieties of bell peppers, onions and other vegetables in greenhouses. The owner installed the Kyminasi Plants Crop Booster™ devices in one of his greenhouses and compared the results of that greenhouse to his other greenhouses. Pepper King had been growing in greenhouses on the farm since 2011. William Bongiorno was the acting farm manager and helped us setup the experiment.
Control greenhouse produced 70% more peppers by weight versus the control greenhouses. The peppers averaged about 20%-30% larger than control specimens. The added weight resulted from thicker cell membranes and greater water content in the fruit. An additional test was done on the fruit to measure the difference in shelf life of the peppers. Similar specimens were placed on a shelf and allowed to decompose over 30 days. The Control peppers decomposed at the normal rate. The Kyminasi peppers decomposed at a rate 10-14 days slower than the control peppers, indicating a better shelf life and overall better quality than the control fruit.
Edible Acres Farm · Sept 2019
Natural Kyminasi Plants Crop Booster (KPCB) Technology increases production while improving the size and flavor of peppers. Edible Acres is a 12-acre organic farm in Tonasket, Washington USA. It lies on the northern border with Canada. Art Heinemann is known for the high quality of his fruits and vegetables. Art installed the Kyminasi Plants Crop Booster™ on his farm beginning in 2017. He has tested the Kyminasi tech on several varieties of fruit and vegetables. In June 2019, he planted bell peppers and hot red peppers.
After 3 months, the plants were producing 15-20 peppers per plant; 80% of which were fully grown. The peppers had consistent shape and ripeness. They tested at 10 Brix, which is 40% higher than the 5-7 average Brix for this variety. The plants were still blooming in September, which is at the end of his season. Art also noted that the pepper plants had so much energy that they were developing woody stems. This indicates that the plants were transitioning into perennials, which is highly unusual for his area (peppers usually only develop into perennials in warmer regions).
