Cultiva Kallur
From the Ag Information Network, this is today’s Fruit Grower Report. Fruit color plays a crucial role in its marketability, signaling things like ripeness and quality.
But the challenge is getting the best color without compromising fruit quality.
Thiago Moraes, North America Sales Manager for Cultiva, is with me and Thiago, how can color development in fruits like apples and cherries impact marketable yields?
• Color is used as an indicator of ripeness and nutritional quality and is often used as a harvest maturity index.
• Achieving vibrant, uniform color without compromising fruit quality is a key challenge for growers.
• Non-uniform coloring at harvest leads to lower-grade classifications, increased culling, ultimately reducing marketable yields.
AND along those lines, you’ve got a product called Kallur.
Tell us what that is and how it helps fruit growers?
Anthocyanin concentrations can be influenced by growers with foliar applications of potassium to achieve desired coloring.
• Kallur is a harvest aid that improves harvest productivity and overall fruit color by promoting earlier and more uniform fruit color.
• It’s composed of potassium in an enhanced phospholipid formulation and is proven to enhance color in crops including apples, cherries, table grapes and citrus while not accelerating ripeness, for more uniform fruit color.
• Kallur helps improve first pick yield potential and increases packout so growers can achieve optimal yields more efficiently.
So, how can growers effectively integrate Kallur into their management strategy for the best results?
• Timing is key. Applying Kallur at the right stage helps maximize color development.
