SOP & applicable crops
A practical reference for storage operators using FRESHLONG™ — how to operate and which crops it applies to.
Standard Operating Procedure
FRESHLONG™ treatment is a professional-use post-harvest process. Chamber measurement, Component A and Component B handling, cartridge preparation, generator operation, treatment retrieval, and spent-solution transfer are performed only by trained ECOPLANTS technicians or certified partners. The spent solution is transferred through an approved chemical disposal agent.

Beyond the list
FRESHLONG™ is applicable to climacteric fruits
The crops shown above are common reference cases — FRESHLONG™ is not limited to them. As a 1-MCP-based treatment, it is broadly applicable to climacteric fruits that ripen in response to ethylene (e.g., apple, pear, kiwifruit, avocado, mango, banana, persimmon, tomato, melon, plum, peach, apricot, papaya). If your target crop is climacteric, FRESHLONG™ can likely be used — contact our technical team to confirm protocols, dose, and timing for your operation.
