Harvista™ helps your orchard earn bigger, tastier returns
To get the best quality and biggest harvest out of your orchard, you need to gain more control over how and when your fruit ripens. With Harvista™ pre-harvest technology, control is part of the plan from the beginning. With a unique mode of action, you get better control of ethylene response — so fruit matures on your schedule, helping you expand the harvest window to keep fruit on the tree for optimal color, size and firmness. The result: better fruit quality and higher yields.
Harvista™ technology is the right pick for these crops:

SmartFresh™ enables just-picked quality all the way to the consumer
As consumer demand for higher-quality, fresher produce rises, retailers in turn demand the same from growers and packers. To help you meet the challenge, SmartFresh™ technology works with your quality-management program to help you deliver consistently better produce and capture key advantages and benefits. Optimizing returns, saving energy and improving peak freshness, SmartFresh™ enhances your storage systems to help you deliver on your customers’ high expectations—and deliver your freshest produce further.
Puts ripening “on hold” to boost your storage potential
The award-winning technology’s active ingredient, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), is similar to ethylene, a naturally occurring hormone that causes fruit to ripen. SmartFresh™ interacts with ethylene-sensitive sites in the fruit to manage its response to internal and external ethylene sources. This puts the ripening process “on hold” so that softening and over-ripening occur much more slowly.
Effective for a wide variety of crops
SmartFresh™ has long been providing real advantages for growers, packers, retailers and consumers of a wide variety of fruits and vegetables—and you can put our technology and service to work for your business in a number of ways. For example, SmartFresh helps control bruising and scald in pears, maintains acidity in plums and helps limit decay in melons.
Open new, longer distance markets
SmartFresh™ technology is especially valuable for transporting produce over long distances, maintaining freshness longer to satisfy customers, reduce waste and even allow access to new, more distant markets.
Simple, convenient application options
SmartFresh™ offers convenient application options to fit the needs of your operation, from our full-service SmartFresh™ Quality System for larger operations, to convenient ProTabs, InBox and SmartTabs™ for do-it-yourself application.
