This case study documents measured plant architecture at harvest: stem thickness, leaf width, and number of leaves per plant. The source does not directly measure lodging resistance, canopy light interception, weed suppression, photosynthetic rate, biomass, or the causal relationship between these structural measurements and other results reported elsewhere in the broader Ocaña corn trial.

Why this matters for corn growers: Plant architecture provides a direct way to compare how the crop developed under each treatment. In this university trial, Crop Booster plants finished the 76-day cycle with stems measuring 2.76 cm versus 1.78 cm, leaves measuring 9.08 cm versus 6.89 cm in width, and 11.64 versus 9.16 leaves per plant. All three measured architecture parameters favored the Crop Booster treatment.

Values are presented exactly as supplied, including the reported standard deviations. This case study measures plant height across four stages of the corn growth cycle. Plant height alone does not establish yield, root development, lodging resistance, water efficiency, pest resistance, grain quality, or the biological mechanism behind the measured differences. Those outcomes require their own measurements and should be evaluated separately.

Why this matters for corn growers: Unlike a single end-of-season observation, this trial followed plant height through four points in the growth cycle. The treatment difference was already measurable by day 19 and remained present through harvest. At day 76, Crop Booster plants averaged 281.16 cm compared with 104.56 cm in the control, a final difference of 176.60 cm.

The supplied case-study documentation provides exact Crop Booster ranges for kernels per ear, kernel rows, stem diameter, plant height, and leaf dimensions. Exact numerical control values were not supplied for kernel count, kernel rows, plant height, or leaf dimensions, so those control comparisons remain qualitative. The source reports a 30–60% stem-diameter improvement alongside the supplied 2.0–2.6 cm treated and 1.1–1.8 cm control ranges.

Why this matters for corn growers: This 2025 university trial documents performance at both the ear and whole-plant level. Crop Booster-treated Creole corn produced ears containing 295–321 kernels across 11–12 rows, while the treated plants also recorded larger stem-diameter measurements and substantial plant height and leaf dimensions. Together, these measurements provide a detailed picture of how the treated crop developed through the 108-day cycle.

This page is a master summary of measurements supplied for the Ocaña university corn trial. The source reports a 583% forage-yield increase and 67,992 kg/ha of additional forage. It also reports two ears per treated plant compared with one in the control; this is a 100% increase in ears per plant, but the supplied summary does not provide absolute harvested grain weight per hectare, so it should not be interpreted here as a directly measured 100% increase in total grain yield. The source also lists a 1.25-unit reduction for titratable acidity; because titratable acidity is not ordinarily expressed as soil or solution pH, the value is preserved as a source-reported acidity difference rather than relabeled as a pH measurement.

Why this matters for corn growers: This thesis summary is valuable because it documents multiple parts of crop performance within the same side-by-side project. The treated field was reported with substantially higher forage production, twice as many ears per plant, greater plant height and stem diameter, higher kernel protein, and half the irrigation water consumption. Looking at these measurements together provides a broader view of crop performance than relying on a single endpoint.

Measurement	Crop Booster	Comparison	Difference
Fresh Fodder Yield	86 t/ha	45–50 t/ha Historical	+81% Source-Reported
Average Plant Height	4.20 m	2.06 m	+104%

Institution: Polytechnic School of Chimborazo (ESPOCH)
Location: Riobamba, Ecuador · Date: November 2021
Crop: Fodder Corn · Use: Animal Feed / Silage
Harvested Yield: 86 t/ha
Historical Yield Benchmark: 45–50 t/ha
Treated Plant Height: 4.20 m · Comparison Height: 2.06 m
Technology: Kyminasi® Plants Crop Booster™

The supplied source reports an 81% increase in fodder yield and provides 86 t/ha as the treated result against a historical area-and-cultivar range of 45–50 t/ha. Because that yield benchmark is historical rather than a documented side-by-side control yield, it is presented separately from the plant-height comparison. The supplied height values of 4.20 m and 2.06 m represent approximately a 104% difference. The source does not provide feed-quality analysis, livestock-performance measurements, herd-capacity data, or economic cost-per-ton calculations.

Why this matters for fodder-corn growers: For forage production, harvested biomass per hectare is the central result. In this ESPOCH case, the treated fodder corn produced 86 t/ha against a supplied historical range of 45–50 t/ha for the area and cultivar. The plants also averaged 4.20 m in height compared with 2.06 m in the documented plant-height comparison.
