OPTYSIL® LONGLIFE
OPTYSIL® LONGLIFE is an innovative biostimulant that increases the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, improves their storage properties and affects yield quality.
OPTYSIL® LONGLIFE – BENEFITS
Up to 16% higher resistance to damage after application of OPTYSIL® LONGLIFE
Up to 16% longer shelf life after application of OPTYSIL® LONGLIFE
Up to 24% higher resistance to storage diseases after application of OPTYSIL® LONGLIFE
OPTYSIL® LONGLIFE is an eff effective biostimulant that increases the resistance of fruits and vegetables to mechanical damages and improves their quality.
Fruits and vegetables can be easily damaged. During their growth an development they are exposed to unfavorable environmental conditions.
Maintaining the highest quality of crops is important during their storage and sale on the fresh market. For this reason, it is crucial to increase shelf life of fruits and vegetables maintaining their attractive appearance and firmness.

OPTYSIL® LONGLIFE – APPLICATION
OPTYSIL® LONGLIFE is recommended for use in the cultivation of fruit and vegetable crops in the form of foliar sprays. The product is intended for foliar application during the formation and development of plant parts intended for harvesting (e.g. fruit, storage organs).
OPTYSIL® LONGLIFE apply foliarly in the form of an aqueous solution. It can be used together with other preparations after checking the possibility of mixing.
During the treatments, avoid strong sunlight, high temperature and wind. Use only when needed. Do not exceed the dose. The product is intended for professional users.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Fruit and vegetable storage diseases are a group of infectious diseases that occur during the storage of fruit and vegetables, causing losses in the quality and quantity of these products. They can lead to rotting, discoloration, spots and other unfavorable changes on the surface and inside of fruit and vegetables.
Silicon and calcium contained in OPTYSIL® LONGLIFE ensure the strengthening of plant cells, and therefore reduce water loss from tissues. They also limit the access of pathogens to the interior of the crop, which inhibits the development of storage diseases.
