The Solution: Engineered SO₂ Sheets for Balanced Protection
That’ s why leading growers and packhouses rely on AgroFresh. These SO₂ sheets are engineered systems designed for consistent, reliable behaviour throughout the cold chain. The goal is clear: strong Botrytis control without causing SO₂ damage.
Balanced release sits at the core of this performance. AgroFresh SO₂ solutions provide enough SO₂ to suppress Botrytis, yet remain controlled to avoid bleaching, stem browning, and residue concerns. This balance is what keeps stems greener, berries cleaner, and fruit condition intact for longer— right through to arrival.
Local Expertise, Global Standardse
AgroFresh manufactures its SO₂ sheets locally in Cape Town, ensuring dependable supply and rapid in-season support. This local presence is reinforced by more than 40 years of global post-harvest experience and BRCGS-certified standards. Whether managing early-season sensitivity in the Northern Provinces or long cold-storage periods in the Hex River Valley, AgroFresh’ s technical team helps tailor the right solution for each cultivar and supply-chain scenario.
Why Balanced Release Matters
The science is simple:
• Too little SO₂ → Botrytis spreads.
• Too much SO₂ → fruit suffers.
A balanced release curve keeps SO₂ levels in the optimal zone from packing to discharge. This is particularly important during long voyages where temperature and humidity
