Product Type
Natural fruit color, quality and ripening promoter
CANDY
Natural fruit quality and ripening promoter with polysaccharides, K, Ca and Mg, designed to improve color, sugar content, firmness, calibre and maturation.
CANDY is an organic and natural fruit-quality product designed to improve uniformity, coloration, consistency and maturation. Its formulation combines an organic matrix rich in polysaccharides with balanced macro- and micronutrients involved in fruit development and ripening.
A high-molecular-weight organic polymer supports skin elasticity, hydration and firmness, while calcium and magnesium contribute to firmer fruit tissues and longer useful life. CANDY also supports natural coloration, sugar accumulation, calibre and more uniform maturation.

How it works / Technical advantages
CANDY combines a polysaccharide-rich organic matrix with potassium, calcium, magnesium, nitrogen, boron and zinc. This balanced composition is designed around the physiological processes associated with fruit setting, maturation and final quality.
The high-molecular-weight organic polymer supports elasticity, hydration and firmness of the fruit skin. Calcium and magnesium help reduce cell-membrane permeability and water absorption, contributing to firmer fruit and extended useful life.
Application rates and timing
Application Guidance: Use the crop-specific foliar or soil rates listed below. Foliar rates range from 200 to 450 ml/hL depending on crop group. For soil application, use 0.8-1.0 L/1000 m² at half fruit enlargement.
Soil application
| Crops | Timing | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| All crops | At half fruit enlargement | 0.8-1.0 L/1000 m² | The source recommends mixing with Chelapotash at 4 kg/1000 m². |
Foliar application
| Crops | Timing | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fruit crops: table grapes, wine grapes, apple, pear, peach, nectarine, apricot, cherry, kiwi, etc. | Beginning from veraison; repeat at 7-day intervals | 400-450 ml/hL | Make 2-3 close treatments. |
| Citrus fruits, oil olives and table olives | Beginning from veraison; repeat at 7-day intervals | 400-450 ml/hL | Make 2-3 close treatments. Timing wording is reproduced exactly from the source. |
| Vegetable and industrial crops in full field: industrial and table tomatoes, pepper, eggplant, strawberry, watermelon, melon, Borlotti beans, sugar beet, etc. | Beginning from veraison; repeat at 7-day intervals | 400-450 ml/hL | Make 2-3 close treatments. Timing wording is reproduced exactly from the source. |
| Greenhouse vegetable crops | From mid fruit enlargement | 300-400 ml/hL | Make two treatments at each fruiting stage. |
| Flowering plants, ornamentals and cut flowers | Timing not specified in the source | 200-300 ml/hL |
Additional technical information
Target problem / deficiency symptoms
CANDY is designed for fruit-quality programmes where improved coloration, sugar content, firmness, calibre, maturation uniformity and shelf life are required. Its formulation also supports fruit skin elasticity and consistency during ripening.
Mixing & compatibility
For soil application, the source recommends combining CANDY with Chelapotash at 4 kg/1000 m².
