Historical technical evidence; protocol varies by production system.
Tomato illustrates why FruitQ+ recommendations should be stage-based rather than calendar-only. Earlier technical records use mature-green/breaker cues and include firmness comparisons; protocols vary between once-over and greenhouse production systems.
Historical once-over programs place treatment around 2 weeks before harvest at mature-green to breaker stage, while greenhouse programs may repeat at roughly 2-week intervals depending on crop load and harvest cycle. Final public guidance should follow the current crop-specific recommendation.
Historical trial protocols and current recommendations are kept separate. Always follow the latest Nutra-Park technical guidance and local label requirements.
