Ripen tomatoes at the end of the growing season
At the end of the growing season it is a challenge to ripen tomatoes, resulting in potentiallost turnover. Restrain accelerates the ripening process of your tomatoes on the plant, allowing the last tomatoes of the season to ripen naturally.
In warmer southern climates, tomato plants become exhausted in summer. By administering ethylene to your plants at night, you also improve the yield of these crops.
Key benefits of ethylene gas
Residue free
Your tomatoes ripen on the plant, retain their natural flavour, have a long shelf life and take on a beautiful red colour. Restrain leaves no residue on your tomatoes and therefore complies with the strict residue legislation.
OK in all greenhouses
The ethylene gas gets inside your crops. It can therefore be used in all types of greenhouses. Whether you grow your tomatoes under glass, plastic or net, the Restrain generator always spreads the ethylene evenly over your plants.
Cost effective
Thanks to Restrain, you need to use less heating and lighting at the end of the growing season. You benefit from a final harvest that is suitable for commercial sale. This makes Restrain a cost-effective ripening method to get the most out of your crop.
User friendly
The Restrain generator is very easy to use and you can install the generator in less than 5 minutes. Connect the generator to a power supply, press play and you are ready to start ripening your tomatoes.
