Agrizest Reviews

Guy Cumming, Gisborne

Guy Cumming says Agrizest does everything claimed about it. Old grapefruit trees that once produced juicing fruit now have supermarket-quality fruit. His fruit grow with more vigor, the skins are cleaner, they taste better and they have improved colour. “The transformation has been quite remarkable. I’m scared not to use it now”.

Mike Lane, Clive River Vineyard, Hawke's Bay

The leaves are shinier and bigger, and the grape yields and ripeness are improved. "We're talking about 3 to 4 per cent riper, which is significant because a 0.1 per cent increase in brix [sugar content] can be worth $5 a tonne"​

Persimmon Growers, Auckland.Waikato

“I have to say our persimmons look the best I’ve seen them look in 37 years. The leaves are beautiful dark green and glossy. We have got the least rejects we’ve had in all our years of exporting which is extremely pleasing. Fruit quality is excellent.”

Paul Christey, Waikato

“My biggest problem this year is breaking branches and support posts from all the extra fruit!!! Nathan the crop this year is much cleaner from mites , woolly apple aphid, leaf curling midge, I have not seen any codling moth or leaf roller damage , insect damage is insignificant throughout the whole orchard.”

For New Plantings, Grafts and Early Season Growth:

Primazest

Use Primazest in newly planted/grafted orchards and on new grafts within established orchards to encourage strong growth and to help bring new varieties into production.

Primazest supports:

  • Healthy growth

  • Reduced damage

  • Recovery from stress caused by variable spring
    conditions such as high winds and frost.

Primazest encourages strong, healthy growth to set you up for a productive first crop.

When leaves are 2-4cm:
Rate: Primazest at 5ml/L with a knapsack sprayer
Timing: every 3-7 days. 

When growth has reached the stage where a sprayer with directed nozzles is necessary:
Rate: Primazest at 5ml/L, 
Timing: every 7-14 days.

With an almost full canopy/when more than 200L of water is needed to cover 1 hectare):
Rate:  Primazest at 1L/ha with an air blast sprayer
Timing: every 14-21 days until full canopy is achieved or your Agrizest programme begins.

Increase Plant Health & Performance

Agrizest reduces stress caused by pests, disease or environmental conditions. Agrizest ensures healthy, sustainable production.

Benefits include:

  • improved leaf size and health

  • improved cane replacement

  • reduced biennial production

  • overall improved plant/crop performance and increased returns

Increase Fruit Quality & Yield

Agrizest helps you produce high yields of high-quality fruit with excellent size, colour and flavour, fewer rejects and better storage.

Key results:

  • Green kiwifruit returns increased by $6,626/ha

  • Apple yield increased by 30%

  • Increased wine flavour compounds by 10%

  • Increased colour, firmness and fruit weight in apples

Cost Effective

Agrizest significantly increases orchard gate returns. In green kiwifruit orchards, for example, just four sprays (total cost: $368) increase orchard gate returns by at least $5000 per hectare.

Additional cost savings: e.g. Agrizest reduced the incidence of mite infestation damage in an apple orchard by over 80%. 3 miticide applications were necessary for the Control block while the Agrizest treated block did not need any miticide treatment. This is a significant cost saving for the orchardist.

Backed by Science

There is no other product “just like Agrizest”.  The technology was developed by us and has been tested and proven in multiple districts, seasons, and crops.

Agrizest is an entirely new technology (an elicitor of the phenylpropanoid pathway) that enables a big leap forward in productivity.

Phenylpropanoids are naturally produced by all plants & are responsible for plant and fruit quality characteristics e.g. lignin and suberin to harden cells and produce crunchier fruit, flavanoids for improved flavour, anthocyanins for high colour and coumestrol and other oils to repair damage.  Phenylpropanoids support the repair, growth and defence systems of plants.

The science of phenylpropanoids and the plant response to Agrizest is covered in our paper which has been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal https://rdcu.be/cGRgc.
