AgroFresh’s Harvista Obtains Expanded Label for Cherry Crops
March 12 2018 - 2:29PM
AgroFresh Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:AGFS), a global leader in produce
freshness solutions, today announced that the label for its
Harvista™ pre-harvest technology has been expanded for use on
cherries at blossom time application. This proven technology that
expands the harvest window for apple crops up to 21 days is now
available to enhance the potential for increased yield and revenue
for cherry growers.
“Our Harvista technology has been proven for years to enhance
the fruit quality and value of apple crops, as well as additional
benefits such as the ability to better manage weather challenges,
and increased labor efficiency,” said Darrell Riddle, AgroFresh’s
Harvista Account Leader, Pacific Northwest. “Now cherry growers
will be able to benefit from Harvista with the potential for
increased yield and higher revenue.”
When applied to cherry blossoms, Harvista technology interrupts
the negative impacts of ethylene and allows more flowers to develop
into fruitlets, thereby enhancing yield potential and driving
revenue. Growers have reported significant impact on yield with two
applications of Harvista at 10 percent and 50 percent of full
bloom. For those orchards already using Harvista for their apple
crops, self-application can be done with their existing Harvista
sprayer kits.
Now is the time for cherry growers to improve the value of their
2018 cherry crops! Harvista is available immediately for first
application at 10 percent of full bloom.
