Why it matters
Colour drives grade, shelf appeal, and price; it forms during ripening and depends on leaf health, light, and potassium, so a finishing program lifts it.
When it appears
During fruit ripening — the finishing window.
What drives it
- Lycopene development, inhibited by high heat
- Potassium supply and balance
- Even light and load across the plant
- Consistent water during ripening
How to manage it
- Protect leaf health and light exposure; avoid late nitrogen.
- Apply Color Boost through ripening.
Recommended Vegalab program
Color Boost — encapsulated nutrition and potassium cofactors released during fruit ripening to support even colour.
Results you can mention: in citrus field trials, Sun Boost increased tree vigour and bloom; the firmness, cracking and stress products are positioned on cell-wall/calcium and biostimulant modes of action — keep this copy educational where specific-crop trial figures aren't yet available.
| Role | Product | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Colour enhancer | Color Boost | Enhances fruit & flower colour |
| Potassium | Potassium Pro | Supports colour & sugar movement |
Apply from early colour through ripening on the label interval; manage heat, potassium and irrigation consistency together.
