Apples and Other Tree & Vine Crops

Less stress. Better Fruit. Better returns

An Elicitor of the Phenylpropanoid Pathway

Not a fertiliser. Not a hormone. Not a generic biostimulant.
A better way to grow.

Agrizest is a New Zealand–made elicitor of the phenylpropanoid pathway, designed for tree & vine crops.

It helps plants handle stress, recover faster, and produce the compounds that drive fruit quality — including colour, finish, flavour, and skin integrity.

What That Means for Your Orchard

Cleaner fruit with improved finish and colour
Stronger skins and reduced damage
Better recovery after frost, wind, and stress events
More consistent crops across blocks and seasons
Higher packout and fewer rejects at harvest

All contributing to better orchard gate returns.

For Apples, Pears, Citrus, Berries, Stonefruit, Grapes and Vineyards, Kiwifruit, nuts, olives and all other woody vine and tree crops.

Why Orchardists Use Agrizest

Orchards are constantly under pressure:

Frost and cold stress
Environmental and physical damage
Pest and disease pressure
Heavy crop loads
Increasing cost of inputs/historic over-fertilisation

Agrizest helps trees respond more effectively to these pressures — improving resilience, reducing losses, and optimising fruit quality.

How it works

Agrizest activates the plant’s internal phenylpropanoid pathway — the system responsible for producing key compounds involved in plant health and fruit quality, for example:

Cell wall strength (lignin)
Colour development (anthocyanins)
Flavour and antioxidant compounds (flavonoids)
Natural defence responses

By switching this system on at the right time, Agrizest helps produce healthy plants and fruit that is:

Cleaner. Stronger. More marketable.

Think of it as building resilience and quality from the inside out.

Proven by Growers

Paul Christey, Waikato

My biggest problem this year is breaking branches and support posts from all the extra fruit…the crop this year is much cleaner…insect damage is insignificant throughout the whole orchard.
Guy Cumming, Gisborne

Old grapefruit trees that once produced juicing fruit now have supermarket quality fresh fruit. “The transformation has been quite remarkable”
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”
Persimon Growers, Auckland.

“Our persimmons look the best I have seen them look in 37 years. We have got the least rejects we’ve had in all our years of exporting Fruit quality is excellent”
