21.4% Higher Rice Yield With Fewer Weeds Reported Without Herbicides

At the Apna Khet Training Center in Bihar, India, rice treated with Kyminasi® Crop Booster™ produced 25 quintals per acre compared with 20.6 quintals per acre in the control. This represents a calculated yield increase of approximately 21.4%.

The supplied trial provides rice yield values of 25 quintals/acre for the Crop Booster treatment and 20.6 quintals/acre for the control. The absolute difference is 4.4 quintals/acre, which calculates to approximately 21.36% relative to the control and is consistent with the source-reported 21% increase. The source also reports significantly fewer weeds without herbicides, greener foliage, disease resistance, more robust roots, stems, tillers and panicles, better water use, and improved nutrient uptake. No weed counts, weed-species data, disease incidence, pathogen identification, disease-severity scores, root measurements, stem measurements, tiller counts, panicle measurements, SPAD, NDVI, irrigation volume, water-use-efficiency values, tissue analysis, soil nutrient data, or nutrient-uptake measurements were supplied. These additional outcomes are therefore presented as source-reported observations rather than independently measured quantitative results.

Why this matters for rice growers: This Bihar field trial provides a direct harvested-yield comparison of 25 quintals/acre with Crop Booster versus 20.6 quintals/acre in the control. That represents 4.4 additional quintals per acre and a calculated yield increase of approximately 21.4%. The treated plot was also reported to have significantly fewer weeds without herbicide use.

The supplied trial provides direct rice yield values of 6.10 t/ha for the Crop Booster field and 3.457 t/ha for the control. The absolute difference is 2.643 t/ha. Dividing that difference by the 3.457 t/ha control gives approximately 76.45%, consistent with the source-reported 76% increase. Average panicles per hill were 20 with Crop Booster and 15 in the control. This represents five additional panicles per hill and a calculated increase of approximately 33.33%, consistent with the source-reported 33%. Both plots were reported at 500 m² and the source states that other farmer treatment practices were unaltered. Crop Booster plants were also described as visibly more vigorous, but no plant-height, biomass, tiller-count beyond panicles, SPAD, NDVI, chlorophyll, root, or other vigor measurements were supplied. No Brix, grain quality, fertilizer-use comparison, pesticide-use comparison, irrigation-volume comparison, production costs, or economic-return figures were provided.

Why this matters for rice growers: This Nepal field trial provides direct measurements for both harvested yield and reproductive development. Crop Booster rice produced 6.10 t/ha compared with 3.457 t/ha in the control, while average panicles increased from 15 to 20 per hill.

University Field Trial · Rice PR 126 · Punjab, India · October 2024

3.6% Higher Rice Yield With 10% Less Fertilizer

In a 123-day PR 126 rice trial at Lovely Professional University in Phagwara, Punjab, the K2a Crop Booster treatment was reported to produce 3.6% higher yield than the conventional plot while using 10% less fertilizer. A second Crop Booster treatment, K2b, used 25% less fertilizer while still achieving slightly higher yield than conventional practice.

The supplied trial reports that K2a produced 3.6% higher rice yield than the conventional plot while using 10% less fertilizer. K2b reportedly used 25% less fertilizer while achieving a slightly higher yield than conventional. Raw harvested yields, fertilizer application rates, fertilizer quantities, fertilizer formulations, and exact K2b yield values were not supplied, so these differences cannot be independently recalculated. The trial also reports K2a differences of +7% in soil pH, -8% in electrical conductivity, +12% in soil carbon, and +14% in soil nitrogen compared with the conventional plot. Underlying soil-test values and measurement units were not provided, so these are retained as source-reported percentage differences. Soil pH is measured on a logarithmic scale, so the reported “+7%” should not be interpreted as a simple linear increase in soil hydrogen-ion conditions without the original pH values and methodology. No grain quality, Brix, water-volume comparison, pesticide comparison, production-cost, fertilizer-cost, revenue, or economic-return data were supplied.

Why this matters for rice growers: This university field trial is notable because the reported production gains occurred while fertilizer inputs were reduced. K2a produced 3.6% higher yield with 10% less fertilizer, while K2b reduced fertilizer by 25% and still reportedly maintained a slightly higher yield than the conventional plot.

The supplied case reports a 17% increase in rice yield for the Kyminasi Plants Crop Booster treatment compared with the control. However, the underlying treated and control yield values, field areas, sample sizes, harvest weights, yield per hectare, replication, and statistical analysis are not provided in the supplied text. The 17% result is therefore presented as source reported and cannot be independently recalculated from the available numerical data. The documented trial inputs include N–P–K 12–22–22 at 150 kg/ha, urea containing 46% nitrogen at 80 kg/ha, 12 t/ha of rice straw, and manual weeding during land preparation. The source describes both fertilizer applications as single doses at transplanting; this wording is preserved rather than reinterpreted. A single Kymina Disc installed on a metal pipe was used to treat designated plots for comparison with control and other combinations. No grain-quality, plant-height, tiller-count, panicle-count, irrigation-volume, fertilizer-reduction, pesticide-reduction, production-cost, or economic-return results are supplied, so no additional performance claims are made.

Why this matters for rice growers: This Ivory Coast trial reports a 17% higher rice yield in Crop Booster-treated plots compared with control plots and provides a documented agronomic input program, including fertilizer rates, rice straw, manual weeding, and the use of a single Kymina Disc.
