5 History Cranberry Cut-flower had been tested at first in the field of cranberry as a natural sticker at time estimating color enhancement of Ethephon. Within this trial, research team had tested as one of sticker while using ethephon on cranberry for intending to increase coloring. The examiner had pointed out that alone had color enhancement efficacy in the experimental negative control. From this results, regular research for has begun in earnest, accordingly several effect revealed such as color enhancement on various fruits, increasing storage stability and extending vase-life of cut-flower. In commercial trials, has, also, the ability to increase soluble solid contents of fruits. In the present day, the studies of mechanisms of are going actively. Discovery of coloring effect of USA, 1991 Vase-life extension of cut-flower USA, 1991 Development of mass production of KOREA, 1999 Verification of coloring efficacy for various crops World around, 2000~2010 Development of formulation of hardly soluble as SL type KOREA, 2008 Discovery of sugar increasing effect 2005, Chile Regulatory information : USA (EPA, OMRI) Chile (~2011, expected) Turkey 2010 Argentina (~2012, expected) Korea

6 Efficacy Color Enhancement CHANGES of harvest yield from coloration GRAPE ORANGE Harvest yield (Boxes/row) UTC #1 #2 # UTC st harvest 2 nd harvest UTC Ethrel Harvest yield (kgs/plant) UTC1 UTC2 Degree of color Foliar application of increased harvest yield by 1 st and/or 2 nd harvest because of uniform coloration. People harvest fruit from 20 to 60% more than untreated control in Grapes, and over 100% in Oranges, even better than ethephon. We figured out that the shifts to better color of treated orange compared to untreated one, satisfied growers. 15% upgrade results in double amount of harvest in earlier. Earlier fruit make people get more profits and save the costs caused by multiple harvest. The ability of s color enhancement is not that of ethephon, stimulating senescence of plant. acts as a messenger stimulating color development. Better uniform ripening permits more of the best fruit to be harvested during first and second harvest st exam 2 nd exam UTC 1 2 Research has shown an increase in the quality and quantity of table grapes and orange picked at first and second harvest when Technology is applied for color. The result indicated that increase marketable yield in first harvest which allows you to market more high quality fruit earlier, and improve profits. Trials had been performed commercially.

7 Efficacy Sugar Content Increasing CHANGES of sugar contents GRAPE ORANGE UTC T1 T2 T3 8 UTC MANDARINE Surprisingly, Technology, applied prior to harvest, shows a great changes in Sugar Contents of fruits. We got the more sugar in treated Grapes, Oranges and Mandarines over 0.7~3.0brix than untreated. stimulate the accumulation of soluble sugar contents of fruits attractively. Sugar metabolism induced by mineral uptake and active photosynthesis can be affected by. Technology improves quality of grape and citrus. Trials have indicated that the use of technology has significantly decreased the incidence of rind disease such as Oleocellosis. Less rind disease improves the grade and marketing opportunities all key factors in maximizing profits Research has shown an increase in the quality and quantity of fruits picked at first harvest when Technology products are applied pre-harvest. The results indicate that increase marketable yield which allows you to market more high quality fruit for improved profits. Technology, applied prior to harvest, improves the quality of fruits. Quality enhancements include: increased firmness, more uniform color development, and higher sugar content Now you can achieve maximize quality, without artificial. Improve your profit potential by providing your customers the natural color and quality they demand. Trials had been performed commercially.

16 Size A Novel Phospholipid for Smart Agriculture Grape Increase color and SSC Prevent senescence Phospholipids serve the role in living systems, both plant and animal of amplifying natural processes of cell development and the accumulation of water, nutrients and other compounds into the cell structure. Applying purified lipids to a living system stimulates or amplifies the productivity of these natural systems. Phospholipids also serve to inhibit certain enzymes that would normally lead to senescence and decay in plant systems. With a pre-harvest spray of products, the grower achieves agronomic benefits such as increased size, improved pack out, enhanced color and longer shelf life. Improved shelf life provides the grower better storage and/or arrival condition and provides profitable benefits for their retail customers. In addition, consumers benefit by enjoying the natural high quality produce they demand all key factors for everyone in the produce channel to stay competitive and profitable.

17 Your Wise Choice Earning Profits T a b l e G r a p e Improve Grade, Packout & Profits When applied to physiologically mature berries, Technology has been shown to improve quality and grade mix for an overall increased crop value. Better Quality Technology, applied prior to harvest, improves the quality of table grapes. Quality enhancements include: increased firmness, more uniform color development, increased size and better storage characteristics. Now you can achieve color and maximize quality, without artificially coloring immature berries or compromising storage life. Improve your profit potential by providing your customers the natural color and quality they demand. Increase Marketable Yield Better uniform ripening permits more of the best fruit to be harvested during first harvest. Research has shown an increase in the quality and quantity of table grapes picked at first harvest when Technology is applied for size or color. The result is an increase in first harvest marketable yield which allows you to market more high quality fruit earlier, for improved profits. Research has shown a significant increase in the weight and size of individual grapes. Improving grade and packout help you maximize profits. Improve Storage & Shelf Life The active ingredient in Technology is known to inhibit cell membrane breakdown. Research is underway to evaluate how Technology improves the quality of table grapes for stronger fruit. Higher quality, firmer fruit handles and stores better. Improve your bottom line by reducing storage risks and marketing higher quality table grapes with better shelf life. Labor Savings More uniform ripening can make for easier picking with the potential to reduce harvest trips and lower labor costs, important cost factors that impact your profitability. Harvest and Market Earlier More uniform ripening with Technology usually allows for an earlier harvest with more of the desirable fruit ready for picking. Earlier harvest can help you realize early season marketing opportunities for improved profits.
