This year, the Chilean cherry industry is preparing for a record production. However, with a higher fruit load, significant challenges arise in color acquisition and sugar accumulation, especially in varieties such as Lapins. In this context, the company Tavan Chile has launched an innovative solution: SPRINT, a biotechnological formula aimed at improving the quality of cherries in a natural way.
The quality of cherries, determined by their organoleptic properties, is essential to ensure the producer's profitability. Among the most critical challenges of each season are the optimal colour of the cherries and the adequate accumulation of brix degrees, two parameters that directly influence the acceptance of the product in the market.
Tavan Chile's proposal focuses on SPRINT, designed to accelerate the color and sugar processes, thus achieving a more homogeneous harvest. It is essential that color, brix and firmness determine the right moment for harvesting. Ensuring these characteristics significantly reduces losses and improves the shelf life of the fruit.
Variability in fruit ripening and color on the tree can be a challenge, especially in seasons with irregular weather conditions. SPRINT is presented as an effective response by homogenizing these processes, allowing growers to better organize the harvest and minimize unevenness.
In an increasingly competitive market, the ability to carry out staggered harvests or advance some varieties becomes crucial. Performing “sweep” harvests becomes a key objective, and SPRINT can be the necessary tool to achieve it.
The formula is not only notable for its effectiveness, but also for its comparative advantages over other treatments on the market. With more than 10 years of successful application in various productive areas of Chile, SPRINT does not require additional additives to perform its function. In addition, it does not affect the size of the fruit or cause overripeness, since it does not affect the ethylene cycle, responsible for the degradation of pectins.
Technical trials have shown that, even at high doses, SPRINT allows for an early harvest without compromising fruit quality. With this innovative solution, Tavan Chile continues to lead the way in agricultural biotechnology, offering producers effective tools to face the challenges of the 2023-24 season.
