Worldwide visitors interested in the 'KNOW-HOW container'

The “KNOW-HOW container’, by CITROSOL, is a portable museum describing a wide range of good agricultural practices, from the various models of dryers or pruning shears through the use of the drencher for fungicide treatments within the first 24 hours of harvesting to the loading of the fruit into containers and why they must be pre-cooled, the need for good ventilation and the maintaining of the chain of refrigeration. The container is subdivided into six sections -Harvest, Drencher Treatment, Wax Treatment, Pre-cooling, Hygiene and Transport- with up-to-date information outlining the critical stages of overseas export of citrus fruit and Citrosol´s post-harvest solutions. Some of the solutions, fruit of Citrosol´s constant striving in R&D& looking for a sustainable and efficient post-harvest are: Ceras A S UE: Wax coatings for Citrus fruit that allow for a lower drying tunnel temperature Sistema Citrosol Vertido Cero ®: A System to inhibit decay that avoids the need to deal with the “left-over formulations” following treatment Citrocide® System: For hygienic washing and decay control in peppers, tomatoes and avocados, achieving savings of more than 70% in water usage. Citrosol’s: Citrocide® PC and Citrocide® PLUS: The only post-harvest products used for disinfection in the washing of citrus fruit, peppers and tomatoes authorized in Spain authorized for use in Organic Farming.
