Consumer awareness of the health hazards posed by synthetic fungicides/pesticides, have created a demand for healthier food options which have resulted in higher restrictions placed for “residue-free” food. This has set the stage for more natural alternatives in our food production systems.
The natural preharvest range comprises of bio-stimulant products formulated from bioflavonoids and other fruit acids, which promotes vigorous growth and regeneration of healthy plants, subsequently leading to greater food safety and security; and less food wastage. These products are used in spray programmes for maximum yield and better quality of fruits and vegetables.
