How to use
How long will it take to see results?
Every farm, crop, and environment is different. Therefore, there are a lot of variables from day to day. Our technology, however, has always produced consistently impressive results. We have seen results in as few as 12 days, while other crops have taken 30 days or more to show significant changes.
We've noticed that the more frequently a farmer irrigates with Kyminasi Plant Booster, the faster they see results. Equally important is that the farmer separates fields so that he can compare and know the differences and scientifically measure the results.
Once issued through the irrigation system, how long do the signals last in the environment?
2-4 days, depending on environmental factors. We recommend irrigating at least once a week for optimum results.
How is the product installed?
There are 2 methods of installation:
- For small growers, greenhouses, nurseries, or small zones, we have pipe fittings that have our transmitters pre-installed on them. These are easily plumbed directly into the irrigation system.
- For most field installations of 5 acres or more, we attach the transmitters to the outside of the pump or water source. No cutting or plumbing is required.
The farmer or farm manager can do most installations, but we also work with irrigation professionals as needed to complete the installation.
Will I have to change the way I run my Farm?
No. You will not need to change how you farm if you use our Kyminasi Plant Booster systems according to recommended procedures.
Many of our farmers report using fewer fertilizers or pesticides, as the plants don't require as many inputs or pesticides with the Kyminasi Plant Booster system. We recommend taking regular soil and tissue samples and using your best judgment on how many inputs to use.
Can you fill buckets with Kyminasi Plant Booster (KPCB) treated water and add it to the plants to absorb it?
Yes, it is possible to fill buckets with KPCB-treated water and then add it to the plants for absorption. However, it would be good to use the buckets of water in a relatively timely manner, as our testing has shown that our KPCB signals last in the water for about 30 days at most.
You can fill a bucket with our crop booster, but you can't leave the water there for 30 days. Need to water the plants within 2-4 days or the signals will be lost. 30 days only if in glass containers.
If the crops are irrigated daily, will the technology last two years?
The KPCB micro-transmitters are guaranteed to work for 2 years no matter how often you irrigate. The KPCB device is first activated when water flows through the device. The KPCB has a 3-year shelf life meaning that you must install it at the very latest by the beginning of the second year after purchase in order to get the full 2-year use of the technology.
At what seed stage can Crop Booster be used?
At the seed germination stage, Crop Booster signals improve the seed's ability to absorb water. However, a pre-emergent plant (i.e. before the plant emerges or appears above ground) does not yet have a leaf structure for this increased water absorption to be visible. Therefore, we recommend minimal irrigation with Crop Booster signals until the plant emerges from the ground and even its first leaves are visible to avoid oversaturation of the seed.
Does the number of plants per acre affect the effectiveness of the Kyminasi Plant Booster technology?
No. Our technology is based on the water flow rate in gallons per minute and the total linear distance that the water travels from the pump to the plant, water intervals, number of acres, and size of pipe. Currently, our technology can handle up to 2600 GPM and can travel up to 5200 feet from the pump at full strength.
Having more plants per acre will actually benefit the farmer, as our technology improves the germination rate and consistency on the field.
Does the Kyminasi Plant Booster prevent or cure disease?
The Kyminasi Plant Booster technology does not directly prevent or cure diseases in plants. The Kyminasi Plant Booster is designed to improve the health and vigor of the plant by improving 7 key factors of plant and soil health. In this way, the Kyminasi Plant Booster should naturally improve its ability to resist disease.
Does the Kyminasi Plant Booster improve insect resistance?
Yes. One of our citrus growers gave this feedback: "I started watering 3x per week with Kyminasi Plant Booster 30 days ago. Now, the treated fields are free of insects, while my other grove is infested".
Is there a minimum amount of water needed for the Kyminasi Plant Booster to be activated?
Yes. The flow rate should be at least 1 liter per minute (1/4 gallon per minute).
How frequently do I need to irrigate for the KPCB system to be effective?
The effectiveness of our system is based on the frequency of irrigation. So the more frequently you irrigate, the more effective our technology becomes, up to about once per day.
We recommend irrigating at least once a week for optimal results. However, less frequent irrigations will still benefit the crops and soil, just not to the same degree as more frequent irrigations.
More frequent irrigations = more yield, fewer input costs, and more profit.
Can I use this on a sprayer?
Providing you use the Kyminasi Plant Booster according to standard instructions, yes. However, as in the above answer, we recommend running regular water through our KPCB system at least twice a month, more often if possible.
