PROUD 3® as an Additive for Fruit and Vegetable Washes

New Field Report Melons-01

This is a technique using an OMRI-listed organic product PROUD 3® as an additive for fruit and vegetable washes, which was pioneered by HUMA GRO®’s distributor in Guatemala.

The melons are cleaned initially with a mix of water and chlorine to remove any dirt from the field, then they pass through the PROUD 3® disinfectant to prevent the post-harvest diseases.

To disinfect Honeydew and Cantaloupe melons, the dosage is to add 5 milliliters of PROUD 3® for each liter of water used. Submerge the melons for a minimum of 15 seconds in the bath or spray the mixture on the melons for the same amount of time.
The PROUD 3® works to disinfect the melons and controls the incidence of bacteria and fungi.

In Guatemala some growers were losing from 25% to 70% of their production to mold and mildew diseases in transit to their markets. With the use of PROUD 3®, their transportation losses have been reduced to only 1% to 10%.

PROUD 3® can also be used to disinfect the refrigerator containers used to transport the pallets with the melon boxes. For this, use fumigation pumps or sprayers and mix a dosage of 10 milliliters of PROUD 3® for each 1 liter of water sprayed.

“We have eliminated almost all the diseases that normally develop in the post-harvest period and transport, especially the mildews and molds.”

Nutrition-based Plant Growth Managers

Maximum Yield without Synthetic Hormones
The HUMA GRO® plant growth managers are ideal for stimulating the plant to produce its own beneficial hormones naturally. This helps you deliver improved crop quality and yields, resulting in more uniform maturity and consistent size. The result is greater efficiency, productivity and profitability at harvest. Below are three featured plant growth managers for increased fruit production.

Increase Fruit Quantity with BREAKOUT® Growth Manager
BREAKOUT® helps increased fruit production through cellular expansion & horizontal division. If it’s applied at bud break, you’ll see a quicker bud break, more vigorous budding, increased flower initiation, and improved uniformity of bud break. If it’s applied at flowering, you’ll see more flowering, increased fruit set, better fruit holding, uniform fruit sizing, and expansion of the fruiting cycle. Use VITOL® as the alternate during the flowering stage.

Increase Fruit Size with VITOL® Growth Manager
VITOL® is vital for vigorous plant growth by promoting cellular enlongation & vertical division. VITOL® increases foliar growth at emergence and maintains late season growth and vigor. It also increases fruit size and improves uniformity of fruit size. In essence, it gives plants energy.

Get Your Fruit Ready for Harvest with JACKPOT® Finisher
JACKPOT® works to achieve uniform maturity through translocation of nutrients into the fruit. JACKPOT® results in uniform maturity, better fruit color, better yield quantity, and increased fruit size.
