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.
