Almonds
31% Increased Yield and 20% water savings in Almonds
Time: March 2023
Place: Century Orchards, South Australia
Form:
- Grower has 1000 hectares of almonds in 5 varieties.
- 3 blocks were treated with the Crop Booster and compared to 3 similar Control blocks.
- Five replications were done, using their standard water and fertilizer application,
- and reducing by 10% on each replication.
- The chart shows the results across 2 years of trials for each replication.
Results:
- The clear winner was the block with 20% less water and fertilizer.
- The combination of increased yield and reduced water and fertilizer is the most profitable of the test areas.

Improved Almond Size, Quality & Yields in Australia with KPB Technology
Date: 2022–2024
Place: Loxton, South Australia
Details: Kyminasi Plant Booster™ (KPB) technology was installed on mature almond trees at Century Orchards. The trial was carried out over three consecutive harvest seasons using independent, third-party measurements comparing treated and untreated blocks.
Results
Treated almond trees consistently produced heavier nuts across all three years, with average kernel weight improvements of up to 9.2%. The treated blocks also delivered higher total yields per hectare, improved nut size uniformity, and better tree health—demonstrating the sustained benefits of Kyminasi technology in commercial almond production.
300% Faster Soil-Water Infiltration Rate & Over 65% Reduction in Water Use of Almonds in Chile
Date: November 2020 (spring)
Place: Chile.
Details: Kyminasi Plants Crop BoosterTM (KPCB) technology was installed on a grove of almond trees in Chile. This orchard had been monitored for four years with humidity sensors.
Results
After two months of irrigating with KPCB, water infiltrated to a soil depth of 100 centimeters (cm) in 10 hours. Previously, it took 12 hours for water to infiltrate to a soil depth of 40 cm. KPCB-treated water infiltrated the soil three times or 300% faster, was 200% more efficient, and resulted in a 66% reduction in water usage of almonds as compared to the control water.
