Mature tomatoes are necessary for good ripening results.
Temperature range of 60° - 65° should be used when ripening.
Ripener I Concentrate should be used in ARCO Ethylene Generators to produce ethylene for proper ripening. Maintain 100 - 150 PPM of ethylene.
Tomatoes should reach "breaker" stage within 24 - 36 hours.
Room should be vented every 6 to 12 hours or use "flow through" ventilation to keep the CO₂ levels less than 2%.
Maintain high humidity, ideally 90%.
Provide sufficient airflow to maintain uniform temperatures in the room.
Tomatoes should be ripened as soon after harvest as possible.
Check equipment periodically. Use smoke candles annually to test rooms for tightness.
Do not use ethylene generators in rooms less than 1500 cubic feet.
