25% Yield Increase & Less Presence of Miner Flies on Melons

In Brazil, during Spring 2020, the owner of the world's largest melon exporting company installed the Kyminasi Plants Crop Booster™ (KPCB) technology in one of his fields. The KPCB field produced more melon boxes and had minimal miner fly damage compared to the control field.

Measured Results

Higher melon production and minimal miner fly damage.

The total melon yield of the KPB field was 2,061 boxes of 13 kilograms (kg) each, while the control field produced only 1,650 boxes of 13 kg each. This was a 25% increase in melon production in the field with the Kyminasi Plants Crop Booster™ technology.

Result Area	KPB Field	Control Field	Result
Total melon yield	2,061 boxes	1,650 boxes	+25%
Box weight	13 kg each	13 kg each	Measured equally
Miner fly damage	Minimal presence of damage	Heavily infested	Less miner fly presence
Technology	Kyminasi Plants Crop Booster™	Control field	KPCB field comparison

Why this matters for melon growers: In this case study, the KPCB field produced 2,061 boxes of melons compared to 1,650 boxes in the control field, representing a 25% increase in production. The KPCB treatment field also had minimal miner fly damage compared to the heavily infested control field.
