Enhance Fruit Color and Harvest Productivity
Fruit growers know color plays an important role in buyer and consumer appeal. The trick is reaching that perfect hue in your crop without sacrificing fruit quality.
Naturally occurring anthocyanin levels, which are water-soluble plant pigments, are responsible for the red coloration of many cultivated fruit varieties. Research shows growers can influence anthocyanin concentrations with foliar applications of potassium to achieve desired coloring.
Kallur is a harvest aid that improves harvest productivity and overall fruit color.
Why Use Kallur?
Composed of potassium in an enhanced phospholipid formulation, Kallur is proven to enhance color in crops including apples, cherries, table grapes and citrus.
- Improves coloring without accelerating ripeness, which can negatively impact fruit firmness and post-harvest shelf life.
- Earlier and more uniform fruit color.
- Increases first pick yield potential, potentially eliminating harvest trips.
- Easily tank mixed for stress-free applications.
