AgroFuturo conducted grower trials on multiple farms to measure the benefit of adding NanoPro to improve plant uptake of Ethephon (PGR) on table grape crops. Early results indicate adding NanoPro provides faster and more effective coloration of four cultivars of table grapes. The improved activity resulted in higher yield due to less wasted fruits.

Crimson Seedless: Adding NanoPro resulted roughly in 3 times more #7 (highest coloration grade) fruits compared to Ethephon alone.

Celebration: Adding NanoPro resulted in roughly 2 times more #7 (highest coloration grade) fruits compared to Ethephon alone. Culled fruit was reduced by 8.5%.

Krissy: Adding NanoPro resulted in roughly 2 times more #7 (highest coloration grade) fruits compared to Ethephon alone. Culled fruit was reduced by 10%.

Red Superior: Adding NanoPro increased the number of #6 fruits (highest coloration grade in this comparison) at two different rates of Ethephon. At a higher rate of Ethephon (0.35 L/ha), adding NanoPro resulted in 15% more #6 fruits. At a 25% reduced rate of Ethephon (0.275 L/ha), adding NanoPro resulted in 11% more #6 fruits compared to the higher rate.
