In today’s global market, consumers expect to find fresh, high-quality fruits and vegetables—regardless of season or origin. This demand creates pressure on growers and distributors to maintain product quality over long transport and storage periods. One of the most effective yet often overlooked ways to meet this challenge is by improving the structural resilience of crops using bioavailable silicon.
The Role of Silicon in Shelf Life
Silicon, when properly absorbed by the plant in the form of monomeric silicic acid (Si(OH)₄), strengthens cell walls and enhances the plant’s natural defenses. This added hardiness directly impacts the post-harvest quality of fruits and vegetables.
Crops treated with GEN200 Control, which contains bioavailable silicic acid, show:
- Improved tissue firmness
- Reduced water loss
- Increased resistance to microbial decay
- Enhanced stress tolerance during harvest and transport

These physical improvements translate into longer shelf life, reduced waste, and better visual and nutritional quality on the shelf. Whether you’re growing tomatoes, peppers, leafy greens, or strawberries, GEN200 Control gives your produce the resilience it needs to withstand the journey from field to consumer.
