FRUIT LOGISTICA 2023 Spotlight

The amount of juice in Agricola Lusia’s ’I Succosi’ oranges is especially high.

With ’I Succosi’, the citrus fruit specialist Agricola Lusia is presenting a new category of oranges that are especially juicy. They guarantee the same amount of juice per fruit regardless of variety or origin. This finding is the result of a six-year study carried out by the company and Ca' Foscari University of Venice. The goal is for every ’I Succosi’ orange to yield the same high amount of juice, which is achieved by a patent-pending method. Guaranteeing the amount of juice has many advantages. It creates a unique product whose cultivation is thus profitable. The fruits all have a uniform quality which promotes customer loyalty. With its innovative packaging Agricola Lusia has also reduced plastic consumption by 30 per cent. Its Treedom initiative promotes the planting of citrus trees in emerging countries.

Duobiotic Alpha is a new fertiliser based on bacterial strains.

Biorizon Biotech, a co-exhibitor of Extena, is presenting its new Duobiotic Alpha biotech solution at FRUIT LOGISTICA. It was developed from bacterial strains and offers great potential for farming. Duobiotic Alpha activates the macro and micro-nutrients that naturally occur in soil and transforms them for better plant absorption. This makes the soil more fertile and crops more resistant to pests, especially around the roots. Duobiotic Alpha increases the polyphenol content, so that harvested crops stay fresh longer.

Delphy Digital’s quality management systems make crop planning easier.

Data is becoming increasingly important in every crop sector. Using quality management systems (QMS) to collect and analyse data can help optimise crop planning. QMS Tomato from Delphy Digital helps suppliers, consultants and growers optimise their cultivation plans. This solution makes it possible to plan strategically according to company targets, along with weekly adjustments. It can be used to reliably influence decision-making regarding plant spacing, pruning and climate strategy, for example. QMS-based root-cutting determines the extent to which the roots of each tree in an orchard are cut back. The first step is for the farmer to determine a growth category from data obtained by drones. The result is a chart which can be exported by the platform and used in the field.

The freshness compartments make sensitive vegetables last longer.

In order to transport sensitive produce such as courgette flowers over long distances these must be kept fresh. In order to achieve this, in a research project together with the University of Tuscia, OP EUROCIRCE developed SHU EHG technology. Systems thus equipped are able to keep fruit and vegetables fresh for longer periods after harvesting, thereby improving them and making them exportable to distant profitable markets. PureAirIon systems can be used in transportation, health facilities, offices and especially in the food industry. The use of catalytic hydrate photooxidation technology (PCO-EHG) makes it possible to eliminate, fungi, bacteria, viruses and fumes both in the air and on surfaces. The freshness compartments significantly extend storage times.

The Futura Technology packaging system is specifically designed for dates.

At FRUIT LOGISTICA Futura Technology is for the first time displaying its new system specifically designed for dates. After being pre-sorted manually the dates are washed and dried. Because of their irregular shapes a second line employs two separate devices to ensure full capacity. A segregation system is then employed to check the dates for various parameters including weight, diameter, length, width and colour. The system also detects flaws such as yellowing or loose skin and moisture. Fruit packaging can subsequently be integrated into the system. The fruit is sorted into boxes by size.

Hazel BreatheWay® for more freshness inside packaging.

Fresh fruit shipped and held in storage over long periods may suffer negative effects. In particular temperature fluctuations due to an interrupted cold chain increase the breathing rate of fruit in packaging, which raises the CO2 concentration inside. This can promote fungi growth, causing the produce to lose weight. In order to prevent this, Hazel Technologies is marketing its Hazel BreatheWay® solution for extra freshness. Its patented breathable membrane has been developed to ensure an optimum atmosphere for berries during transit and storage on their way to the consumer. Hazel BreatheWay® was designed to handle lengthy transit periods and unforeseen supply chain situations with unexpected temperature fluctuations. This innovation ensures an optimum climate for fruit by maintaining a balanced atmosphere inside the packaging, enabling produce to reach its destination in perfect condition while also reducing waste.

New Protev fertiliser stops bacteria and stimulates growth.

If bacteria infect a plant they can halt its growth. Hydro Fert’s new Protev fertiliser has a dual effect. On the one hand it prevents plants becoming infected and on the other it stimulates growth. Made from plant extracts, this trade fair innovation strengthens resistance and fertilises organically all in one. Repeated use improves fertiliser uptake and increases the chlorophyll content of the leaves. Protev was tested both in the laboratory and outdoors and is suitable for every type of fruit, vegetable and ornamental plant that is susceptible to its growth being halted by bacterial stress. The plant-based composition ensures that the physiological functions of plants remain unaffected. Farmers now require only a single product instead of many, which saves money and protects the environment.

The Vlach walnut tree variety was grown in-vitro by micro-cultivation methods.

Nogalnature’s Vlach walnut tree was grown in-vitro in the laboratory using micro-cultivation methods. The company has previously gained experience growing pecan and fig trees in the same way. Compared with trees grown from seedlings the Vlach walnut tree is sturdier and more homogeneous. It is highly disease-resistant, its root development is more mature, and it thrives better in thick soil. These characteristics make it possible to achieve better and earlier yields and grow walnut trees in regions that would otherwise be unsuited. All plants are EU-certified under plant variety and plant health laws.

TomaTech-Nirit has developed ToBRFV-resistant tomato varieties.

The Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV) is the scourge of many farmers. This aggressive pathogen causes tomato plants to die off and stops the fruit from developing a healthy red skin. In recent years the R&D team of TomaTech-Nirit have been examining the genetic origins of ToBRF and have succeeded in identifying DNA markers that can trigger resistance to the virus. These findings have resulted in the first commercially viable ToBRFV-resistant varieties which the company is now bringing to market. They will benefit farmers and ultimately the entire value chain, by reducing production costs for example.
