Crop Quality Solutions

You’re not in it for love.  Well not just for love…

The bottom line at harvest time is what matters and in today’s demanding markets, that generally depends on not just yield but also quality.  We believe that the optimum combination of yield and quality comes from a balanced plant which has been managed all season with that goal in mind.  Early ripening, large fruit, high dry matter, good sugar content: whatever your focus, there is no quick fix or magic bullet. 

Our customers understand this, and those having the most success at harvest time use our full season programmes such as Wormtech Earlyplan for kiwifruit.  Well known examples include Ian Weir of Paengaroa and Peter Bennett of Te Puke, with Orchard Gate Returns miles out in front of the averages in the kiwifruit industry.

'With all things being fair and equal we showed clear evidence of a size increase gained through the use of Wormtech Liquid as a foliar application' - Mark Kirkham, Orchard Manager, Wrights Rd, Katikati, 2002

'We put a lot into the orchard, but I believe it is the Wormtech Liquid in particular that gets me into Kiwistart' - Peter Bennett, Te Puke, July 2005
