Solanaceous crops constitute a major chunk of vegetable crops grown around the word. In last fifty years advanced breeding techniques have brought about a revolution in cultivation techniques and quality. How ever having said this the challenges in cultivation of these crops have also increased many fold. The challenges are arising from inadequate of crop rotation and ever changing climate is throwing up newer challenges in form of disease and pest susceptibility . This has rendered many of more popular older and even newer molecules less effective. Being 100% natural and OMRI compliant many of Hi cell products can assist the farmer to achieve better results.
Nursery: Seed priming with 5% Hi Cell Bellator solution has shown to enhance seed germination percentage. There after regular application of 0.2-0.3 % of Hi Cell Belator has shown to develop healthy seedlings extensive root system. Hi Cell Rubigo has very potent bactericidal properties thus can control “ Erwinia “ and Pithium infections.
Growth: Our extensive demonstrations have shown that application of HI Cell Eradico /Hi cell Bellator @ .25 % in drench ( every week ) has a systemic action and can control most of the early season pests and diseases in tomatoes and capsicums in out door CEA cultivation. For any type of fungal infection farmers are advised to use Hi cell Rubigo ( 0.25% )
Maturity: Application of “ Hi Cell Renova“ ( 0.25%) will enhance consolidate the plant growth develop an extensive root system and stronger shoots. For any type of fungal infection farmers are advised to use Hi Cell Pugnator ( 0.25%).
Flowering: Application of Hi Cell Incrementum (.25%) will induce flowering and pollination. Application of Hi Cell Bellator ( .25%) in drench will control most of the pests including aphids jassids and thrips.
Fruiting: advisable to use Hi Cell Bellator / HI Cell Eradico in drench will control most of the sucking pests. Application of “Hi Cell Pugnator” ( .25%) will control fungus infections and enhance fruit quality.
PROCESSING TOMATO COLOR: Due to various reasons many times processing tomatoes do not produce adequate uniform color pigment. Hi Cell Laetus application @ .25% two weeks before harvest will ensure uniform color development in Tomato fruits.
CHERRY TOMATOES: To improve the brix and keeping the quality of cherry tomatoes use Hi Cell Suavis @ .25%
SOS: In case of viral infection application of Hi Cell Renova (.25%) will suppress adverse effect of virus for some time thereby facilitating some more harvests ( pl note that application of Hi cell Renova can delay the fruit ripening process) .

Bud Breaking : Hi Cell Florentia is a groundbreaking solution for the critical bud-breaking stage in table grape cultivation, offering a safe and effective alternative to the widely used toxic Hydrogen cyanamide. Specially formulated for grapes, cherries, and kiwis, Florentia goes beyond bud breaking, addressing issues like uneven sprouting, varied shoot vigor, and flower/bunch development. During the 2022-23 season, extensive testing demonstrated its superiority over Hydrogen cyanamide controls, showcasing slightly delayed but robust sprouting, enhanced vigor, larger bunch sizes, and a notable 15-20% increase in the number of bunches.. This innovative formulation represents a paradigm shift, ensuring accelerated Bud/Berry/Fruit development and promising advancements in improving overall grape quality on a global scale.
Berry Development : In contemporary viticulture, the utilization of growth hormones such as GA3, GA7, CPPU, and Brassino steroids has become widespread for enhancing grape berry size. However, the application of these hormones is not without consequences, as observed side effects include reduced pedicel strength leading to increased berry drop with excessive GA3 use, and the potential for CPPU[ N-(2-Chloro-4-pyridyl)-N′-phenylurea] to promote lignification in bunch stems and pedicles, hindering the attainment of optimal brix levels and other organic attributes.
In response to these challenges, Hi Cell Suavis emerges as a noteworthy non-hormonal and non-nutrient-based alternative, designed to expedite berry development naturally. Remarkably, Hi Cell Suavis demonstrates compatibility with GA3, delivering favorable outcomes when applied at a rate of 40 ounces per acre, particularly in instances involving seeded grapes like Red Globe.
Critical observations suggest that substituting GA3 with Hi Cell Suavis promotes natural berry development without inducing undue elongation. Moreover, the resultant improvements in brix levels, flavor, berry firmness, and keeping quality are notably superior to control conditions.
Ongoing scrutiny of these applications is essential to comprehensively assess the long-term impact on grapevine health and fruit quality. The pursuit of sustainable and natural methodologies in viticulture remains a priority, and the promising performance of Hi Cell Suavis warrants continued investigation and consideration within the industry
Shoot Growth : Combatting slow shoot growth due to low temperature, abiotic or biotic stress, and nutrient deficiencies, Hi Cell Renova @35-45 ounces per acre offers a targeted solution. Applied in these conditions, Renova efficiently restarts shoot growth and safeguards grapevines from abiotic stress, ensuring resilient and healthy grapevine development.
Grape Pest In the course of grape cultivation, the presence of various pests poses a considerable challenge. Hi Cell Crop Sciences offers a targeted solution with Hi Cell Eradico, designed to effectively address common issues related to sucking pests, bugs, and worms affecting grapevines. For optimal results, we recommend application through an electrostatic sprayer (ESS) at a rate of 40 ounces per acre, leveraging the precision of this method. In instances of persistent pest infestations or the need to control grape mealybugs, Hi Cell Evello stands as a potent option, demonstrating high efficacy when applied at a recommended rate of 40 ounces per acre . These professional-grade solutions aim to ensure the health and vitality of grape crops while mitigating the impact of pest pressures during their growth cycle.
Powdery Mildew : Sulphur is chemical of choice to control powdery mildew on grapes; however, its application is ill-advised in humid climates or during berry development due to potential damage to the berries. Limited options exist for registered chemical molecules applicable on grapevines post-50 days of pruning, considering Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) concerns. Introducing Hi Cell Rubigo, a highly effective formulation applied at 30 ounces per 100 gallons, providing a MRL-safe solution with a zero Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI). Rubigo stands as an exceptional product for controlling powdery mildew on grapevines, ensuring efficacy without compromising MRL compliances.
Downy Mildew: A potentially destructive affliction for grapevines, demands swift and effective intervention to safeguard plantations. Hi Cell Pugnator emerges as a precise and professional solution, applied at 50 ounces per 100 gallons. As a zero Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) product, Pugnator ensures highly efficacious control against downy mildew at any growth stage of grapes, providing a reliable defense mechanism for the longevity and protection of grape plantation.
Berry Drop : Mitigating grape berry drop induced by abiotic stress or nutritional deficiencies requires a targeted approach. Hi Cell Renova, applied at 40 ounces per 100 gallons, emerges as a professional and precise solution. By strengthening the grape pedicel, Renova effectively addresses the factors contributing to berry drop, ensuring the resilience and retention of grape clusters.
