A 2021 study, performed in partnership with a Midwest grower, was designed to test Hazel 100’s effectiveness in maintaining pressure/firmness in a “treated” sample of apples vs. an “untreated” control sample.
The study measured the “Flesh Firmness” of each set of apples at 0, 7, 10 and 14 days after they were transitioned from a cold storage environment to ambient storage.
Simply toss a sachet (packet) of Hazel 100 into the bin or box of produce. Requiring no additional training, equipment, or infrastructure, Hazel 100 is the simplest way to effectively treat your crop with 1-MCP.
Hazel CA enables users to easily treat large-volume CA rooms in
half time time of traditional 1-MCP fumigation.
Hazel Datica monitors and reports on the status of every run, verifying treatment completion or intervening if the treatment goes off-course.
Customer Testimonials
"In a typical year we might ship 2 million boxes of apples, ranging from the core varieties like Honeycrisp to proprietary varieties, like Kiku and Lemonade apples. With each variety comes different challenges. We have found that Hazel’s range of technologies can help to keep the fruit fresh and attractive which is why we’ve added Hazel 100 to our process this year, alongside Hazel CA and Datica."
- Leighton Rice, Rice Fruit Company
"The most important feature of the Hazel 100 for apple technology is the ease of use. It works great for the speed at which we fill rooms. (There is) no need to do partial applications. We get the same positive results with this new treatment."
- Brian Ruhoff, Wescott Orchards / Honeybear Brands
