An article by emol.com highlighted our innovative solution, FungiBlock, the first botanical protector designed specifically for avocados against post-harvest rots. Applied during the packing process, Fungi Block is formulated using GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) ingredients, as recognized by U.S. regulatory agencies like the FDA.
The avocado industry has seen a significant increase in demand, which has also driven up prices. However, one of the biggest challenges remains the post-harvest losses caused by fungal infections. While synthetic fungicides have traditionally been used to manage diseases like anthracnose and stem-end rot, there is growing interest in healthier, residue-free alternatives due to stricter regulations and consumer preferences.
FungiBlock offers a 100% organic, water-soluble solution made from plant extracts. It leverages our proprietary NOVADROP™ technology, creating an ultra-stable emulsion with fine particles to enhance its effectiveness throughout the entire intestinal tract. This innovation ensures consistent, reliable control of harmful fungi while meeting market demands for sustainable and residue-free solutions.
Our commitment to developing cutting-edge, science-based products like Fungi Block is part of our mission to help producers improve their results and reduce their environmental footprint.
