Desert Control now has a pilot on California's Central Coast β Chardonnay country β treating this crop. The growers and regions that learn to do more with less water won't only farm more sustainably. They'll farm more economically. That is the shift worth watching.

In California, much of the state's wine grape production sits in its most water-stressed regions As water grows scarcer and more expensive, the efficiency of every drop moves from the sustainability report to the balance sheet.

Wine grapes are one of the most water-intensive crops in the world. And remarkably, no one can tell you exactly how water-intensive which, for an industry already under pressure, is the real problem.

Peppers are growing in California β and LNC is part of the story.
We're excited to share images from our latest pilot in California, where Desert Control's Liquid Natural Clay technology is being trialed on pepper crops.

LNC doesn't replace water it makes every drop count more. By binding naturally into sandy or degraded soils, it reduces water loss and helps roots access nutrients more efficiently. Less irrigation needed. Stronger, more resilient crops.

California's agricultural sector faces increasing pressure from drought and water scarcity. Pilots like this one are how we prove the technology works where it matters most in the field, at scale.
More updates to come as this pilot progresses. π±

One third of the world's topsoil is degraded.
Sandy, compacted, water-repellent soil doesn't just hurt yields. It accelerates runoff, prevents carbon storage, and compounds drought stress across the entire agricultural system.

Desert Control retweeted
A year later, the results speak from the field.
Woodland Hills Country Club reports healthier fairways, notable water savings, and kikuyu turf staying active through the heat after applying Liquid Natural Clay (LNC).

Harvest is underway across California's Central Valley.
This leafy-green crop was grown in a field treated with Liquid Natural Clay (LNC) β one of several active pilots Desert Control is running across the region.

This group made difficult decisions to approve only select projects to provide diversity of pilots across different crops and locations of the state.

Small change in the soil. Significant change in what the season can deliver.

Five weeks on, early field observations are showing a noticeable difference in canopy size in the treated area an encouraging visual response as we continue monitoring through the season.
Table grapes demand a lot of water.

π In the field: California's Central Valley
On March 31, our team was on the ground at a table grape vineyard in Bakersfield, California applying Liquid Natural Clay (LNC) on a high-value, water-intensive crop in one of the most water-stressed growing regions in the world.
