Moisture Management: The Unsung Hero
Even the best SO₂ sheet performs only when moisture is controlled. Condensation is one of the biggest triggers for SO₂ damage and Botrytis activation. AgroFresh therefore recommends pairing SO₂ sheets with moisture-management tools such as Agri Shield™ and Moisture Absorption Membrane. For sensitive cultivars, additional absorbent layers between the sheet and the grapes help maintain safe moisture levels. These small interventions significantly improve arrival condition.
Two Solutions, One Purpose
AgroFresh offers a complementary range of SO₂ sheets to address the varied risks South African growers face— from wet seasons to long export programmes and cultivars with different SO₂ sensitivities. The focus remains constant: balanced efficacy with minimal SO₂ damage, ensuring strong condition throughout the journey.
