Crop Booster produced 12.22 additional metric tons of watermelon per hectare.

Across the reported harvests and test plots, the control crop averaged 45.70 t/ha while the Crop Booster treatment averaged 57.92 t/ha. The difference was 12.22 t/ha, equal to a calculated yield increase of approximately 26.74%.

The supplied trial reports an average control watermelon yield of 45.70 metric tons per hectare and an average Crop Booster yield of 57.92 metric tons per hectare. The difference is exactly 12.22 t/ha. Calculating the relative increase from the supplied values gives (57.92 − 45.70) ÷ 45.70 × 100 = approximately 26.74%, matching the source-reported result. The source states that four harvests were completed from multiple test plots, but individual harvest yields, plot-level measurements, plot size, number of plants, replication structure and statistical analysis are not supplied. Therefore, this page presents the supplied average yields without attempting to reconstruct variation among plots or harvests. No watermelon count, individual fruit weight, fruit size, Brix, market grade, fertilizer use, pesticide use, irrigation volume, production costs, revenue or economic-return data were supplied.

Why this matters for watermelon growers: This university trial provides a direct yield comparison across the reported test plots and four-harvest period. Crop Booster-treated Santanella watermelon averaged 57.92 t/ha compared with 45.70 t/ha in the control, an additional 12.22 metric tons per hectare.
