More Information

It is recommended to store the bags on pallets with sufficient space for air flow and leave them for 3 to 4 months. After use, FRUITCAL® bags can be opened and used to improve the soil around trees as a conventional soil amendment.

Stored fruits and vegetables excrete ethylene, a ripening substance that can cause faster spoilage. Apples, pears, peaches, nectarines and tomatoes are examples of fruits that release large amounts of ethylene. We call them “climacteric fruits”.
