HarvestWatch is the proven DCA
monitoring technology for reliably detecting the Low Oxygen Limit in apples and pears.
HarvestWatch™ Dynamic Controlled Atmosphere Chlorophyll Fluorescence (DCA-CF) is a patented, proven fruit-monitoring technology that reliably detects the Low Oxygen Limit (LOL) in apples and pears. This allows Operators to store at optimal low oxygen levels safely with confidence.
​
Low oxygen storage is gaining popularity as a non-chemical method for extending storage life and preventing post-harvest disorders such as superficial scald development and stem end flesh browning. 20 years of research shows significant quality benefits compared to conventional CA, including improved firmness, colour retention and flavour over the storage period.
