Juicy Fruit - Year Round!

Fitomag is an expert in the field of efficient technologies for long-term storage of fruits and vegetables.

The essence of the Fitomag storage technology lies in treating vegetables and fruits with 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), a gaseous inhibitor of ethylene biosynthesis, in very low concentrations (0.5-1 part per million).

Fitomag is effective at processing of climacteric fruits and vegetables: apples, pears, plums, apricots, peaches, plums, bananas, кiwis, persimmons, tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons and melons.

Fitomag was developed by two leading Russian scientific institutions: the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Horticulture named after I.V. Michurin and the Russian Chemical-Technological University named after D. I. Mendeleyev under the guidance of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences’ Professor V.A. Gudkovskiy and Professor V.F. Shvets.

Since 2005 Fitomag has specialized in introducing Fitomag’s post-harvest technology of fruit and vegetable production.

How does Fitomag technology work?

More than 90% of apples, pears, berries and vegetables in Russia are stored in refrigerators with the usual atmosphere. Under normal conditions, this technology does not guarantee the preservation of high quality fruits (freshness, juiciness, taste) and their protection from physiological damage (sunburn, decay from aging, browning of internal tissues, browning of the core, wet burn, etc.) and fungal diseases.

Effect of Fitomag

Fitomag disables the biological process of maturation and aging of the fruits by blocking the receptors with the active substance 1-methylcyclopropene. Inhibition of endocarpic biosynthesis of ethylene, α-farnesene, products of its oxidation, reduction of respiratory rate, enzymatic activity, decomposition of chlorophyll and other metabolic processes occurs.

Why Choosing Fitomag

Integrated system

Production, storage and sale is an integrated system. We accompany the fruit, do analyses, review all its life, mineral status, ethylene, divide the party by the date of fruit removal, develop the Fitomag dosage for each varieties, and conduct monitoring of fruits during storage

Focus on and specialisation

Fitomag has long focused on and specialized in developing recommendations for clients by identifying the proper storage parameters, customized for each type and variety of the fruit.

Range of services

Fitomag not only sells a product that increases the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, it also provides a range of services including: consultations, developing recommendations, conducting analyses.

Consultations

Fitomag provides consultations for agronomists and technicians for the accurate determination of yields and harvesting ripe fruit.

Developing recommendations

Fitomag provides developing recommendations on the fruit storage conditions

Conducting analyses

Fitomag provides conducting analyses of the state of fruit during storage and forecasting shelf life and maturation period of the fruit.

Clients Testimonials

Fitomag technology has shown high efficiency for storing apples and stone fruits in large horticultural businesses and small farms. Greenhouse complexes use the Fitomag (1-methylcyclopropene or 1-MCP) to increase shelf life of tomatoes and minimize damage to cucumbers during transportation.

It’s known that the accumulation of endogenous ethylene is the main cause of diseases in fruits and vegetables, decreasing their quality.
Treating fruits with Fitomag, which consists of a gaseous inhibitor as the active ingredients - ethylene biosynthesis and 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) allows the produce to cope with the increased level of endogenous ethylene.
Fitomag (1-methylcyclopropene or 1-MCP) compares favorably with other drugs and methods. It is necessary both for most agricultural enterprises and for companies engaged in the transportation and storage of fruits, vegetables, berries, and flowers.
The benefits of using the drug Fitomag to create optimal storage conditions for vegetables and fruits

  • Applying Fitomag allows storage apples for 4-5 months in a regular atmosphere with the same quality as storage the fruits of autumn-winter and winter varieties in a controlled atmosphere
  • Effectiveness of Fitomag have proven for the treatment of climacteric fruits and vegetables during storage and transportation. It works for transporting the fruits of summer varieties such as apple, pear, cherry plum, plum, peach, and apricot for long distances in refrigerated trucks
  • Fitomag protects fruits from sunburn, wet burns, decay, browning and oiliness of the skin from aging, browning and decomposition of tissues from mechanical damage, reduces losses from fungal rot and natural loss of fruit mass in a normal atmosphere and controlled atmosphere
  • Fitomag reduces the negative impact of stressful storage conditions of fruits, such as the late creation of the recommended temperature and composition of the atmosphere, significant fluctuations of these parameters
  • Significantly extends the shelf life of apples and pears with low longevity, such as fruits of summer, autumn and late autumn varieties in the usual atmosphere and controlled atmosphere
  • Fitomag reliably saves its hardness, juiciness, crunchy texture, presentation, taste of fruits and vegetables, both during storage in a normal or controlled atmosphere, and when the cold chain is broken during processing, transportation and sale
  • High efficiency is achieved by using very low concentrations of Fitomag. The drug is similar to the natural factors that guarantees harmlessness to humans and the environment.
