Melons
For greater transplant success plus better taste, freshness and appearance through storage, look to our proven pre- and post-harvest technologies.
Give melons an edge in the field and in storage, for greater success with consumers
AgroFresh gives your melon program an advantage from the field all the way to the consumer. To help seedlings survive the transition to the harsh environment of an open field, count on LandSpring™ technology for larger plants, earlier flowering and harvest, and higher yields. And with our SmartFresh™ technology, you can help provide cantaloupes and honeydews better taste, aroma, freshness and appearance than standard melons, with greener coloring in honeydews and less-watery flavor.
