Cifo Solutions to get better results in yield and organoleptic characteristics.
The tomato cultivation campaign is now in full swing. Here in Italy, as well as elsewhere, the transplants are now almost concluded while still remaining the planting of the later varieties with harvesting at the end of September.
The problems to be faced in the current season confirm the trend of the last few years: a market characterized by close competition, thinner margins for producers due to growing energy costs and revenues that strictly depend on high levels of yield, uniformity of size and grade, plus an optimal Brix at harvest.

These aspects are increasingly sought after by processing companies and by consumers themselves who require preserves and products of national origin, characterized by a remarkable service value, high shelf life and quality guarantee.
It is therefore easy to understand that, if the market requires new quality standards, for the entrepreneur there is a need to grasp all the innovations implemented through agronomic research, in order not to be left behind and undergo the same standards, seeing them more as constraints than as distinctive factors.
2 specialties in synergistic action.
The Cifo Solution for industrial tomatoes provides for the use of 2 specialties in synergistic action, each of these with a specific agronomic target:
To reduce vegetative excesses and increase the quantity of dry matter at harvest, improving industrial yield, the use of Cifo KS 64 has proved to be particularly effective, the formulation is rich in Potassium, Sulfur, organic acids and L-Proline, a natural amino acid particularly useful in situations of water-saline stress affecting the plan
Berries with better qualitative characteristics when harvested, increasing and standardizing the ripening at the same time, are obtained using Cet 46 Green, an organic product that allows to activate the natural mechanisms that favor the metabolism of sugars and fatty acids, as well as the synthesis of anthocyanins and carotenoids, this translates into a better color of the berry, a higher degree of Brix and a better uniformity of ripeness at the date of harvest.
Cet 46 Green is ideally used in combination with Cifo KS 64, which allows it to support the metabolism of plants precisely in the phase in which the energy demand reaches its peak, to standardize maturation, obtaining an increase in all qualitative parameters.itativi.
