- Wine grapes for cold stress. Result: improved pre-flower canopy growth by 16% (2018-19 Fruitfed Supplies trial, Blenheim).
- Kiwifruit for cold stress. Result: improved pre-flower canopy growth by 16% (Fruitfed Supplies trials multiple seasons, Bay of Plenty).
- Potatoes: less crop stress led to a marketable yield increase of 10.48%. (2010 Valagro trials, United Kingdom).
- Lettuces: less crop stress led to a yield increase of 11% (Rimini trials multiple seasons, Italy).
- Cherries: the weight of fruit increased by 4% compared to untreated (Valagro trials multiple seasons, California).
