Fruit quality improvement

Products in the fruit quality improvement category are growth regulators mainly intended for professional use in fruit growing and horticulture. They are used to reduce undesirable phenomena and improve the commercial traits of fruits in crops such as apple tree, pear tree, sweet cherry and blueberry.

About the Fruit quality improvement category

Products in this group are used to reduce rust, pre-harvest fruit drop and to improve colouring and quality of yields. They are applied in the cultivation of apple trees, pear trees, sweet cherries, highbush and lowbush blueberries, as well as chrysanthemums. Examples include Falgro tablets and Harvista 1.3 SC.

The products contain active substances such as 1-methylcyclopropene, 6-benzyladenine, ethephon, forchlorfenuron, gibberellins ga4+7, 1-naphthaleneacetic acid, gibberellic acid ga3 and prohexadione calcium. The offer includes products from the brands AgroFresh, BASF, Fine and UPL. Subcategories differ in application: some agents reduce fruit drop, others support thinning of fruit sets or improve fruit setting.

Use plant protection products safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
