Research
Independent research into the efficacy of Soil and Foliar products was conducted by ECO Soils Research. Five Bay of Plenty kiwifruit orchards were enrolled in the study over a period of three years.
Results
-
Fruit Firmness
For this part of the study, fruit harvested from each plot was sampled and packed into trays arranged at random on pallets and cool stored. After cool storage, the trays were stored for 36 hours in ambient room temperature and inspected. A penetrometer tested for firmness (see graph).

Reduction in Coolstore Pitting
Following coolstorage, all fruit were inspected for the incidence of coolstorage pitting. The chart shows the mean values for percentage pitting found. The soil treatment showed a reduction of 13%. The foliar reduced pitting by 38% and the Soil & Foliar by 49%.
