Desert Control and Oasis Date Initiate Large Yield-Focused Trial

Desert Control and Oasis Date Initiate Large Yield-Focused Trial

Sandnes, Norway, 27 August 2025 - Desert Control AS (DSRT) announces the

initiation of a large-scale Yield Trial in Somerton, Arizona, in partnership

with Oasis Date, a leading commercial grower of organic Medjool dates. The trial

aims to advance crop yields and sustainable farming through the use of Liquid

Natural Clay (LNC) technology.

The new trial follows successful outcomes observed in early 2025, when LNC was

applied to more than 9,000 date trees at a California ranch operated by Oasis

Date. That application demonstrated water conservation benefits, prompting

further investigation into yield performance.

Key Highlights:

·   Full-cycle study with comparative assessment of crop yield and resource

efficiency for 1,000 LNC-treated date trees against untreated control trees.

·   Comparison of two different treatment schedules, evaluating single-dose vs

split-dose LNC applications

·       Secondary assessments of water utilization, water use efficiency, and

nutrient use efficiency to measure broader impacts on inputs and economic

outcomes

·       Validation and scientific collaboration with the University of Arizona

to ensure independent data collection, transparency, and rigor

·       Integration of LNC with proven best practices in commercial date

farming, including monitoring of nutrient leaching, salinity risk, and soil

health indicators

Trial Purpose and Objectives

The large-scale research project is designed to explore how different LNC

strategies may be integrated with commercial farming practices to enhance soil

water-holding capacity, nutrient retention, and long-term soil health.

Researchers will track performance indicators such as soil chemistry, plant

growth, crop yield, and fruit quality.
