- The trial took place at the INIA-Huasco experimental center located in the southern Atacama Desert (Vallenar, Chile, 28°34′ S, 70°47′ W and 469 m.a.s.l.) during the 2019/2020 growing season (sowing on 26 September 2019, harvest on 21 February 2020).
- The Atacama desert is one of the driest regions in the world, ensuring that rainfall would not influence the irritation treatment of the experiment.
