The natural evolution of plant fortification
Instead of conventional protective agents based on synthetic chemicals, SecoFend Vital relies on plant-based, food-safe ingredients. The formula uses bioactive components that occur naturally in fruit to promote the fruit’s own resistance – for greater quality assurance along the supply chain, in harmony with the environment and future standards.
Why SecoFend Vital?
integration
SecoFend can be smoothly integrated into existing processes – without any adjustment effort or interruption to established workflows.
SecoFend complies with all MRL (maximum residue level) standards and does not contain any pesticides. The formulation leaves no residue, meaning that fruit and vegetables remain completely edible – a bonus for the environment, consumers, and processing staff.
economical
SecoFend impresses with its ease of use and economic efficiency – while also offering high user safety and plant-based sustainability.
Secondary plant compounds are an integral part of plants' adaptation mechanisms to abiotic stress factors. Scientific studies have linked them to processes that support the stability of cellular structures under cold stress. Their use can help reduce the physiological stress on fruit during storage at low temperatures.
Polyphenols are natural plant compounds that can help plants revitalize themselves under abiotic stress. Their antioxidant properties help buffer reactive oxygen species (ROS) and maintain physiological balance. Polyphenol-based plant fortifiers thus contribute to more robust growth and increased stress resilience.

the growth of plants and crops
How SecoFend Vital works
- Forms a natural structure on the fruit – and supports the stability of the outer fruit surface.
- Promotes the plant's own defense processes, which are related to freshness, taste, and external quality.
- Contains bioactive phytochemicals, as found in natural plant defense mechanisms.
Frequently asked questions and answers
Does it affect the taste or appearance of the fruit?
SecoFend has no effect on the sensory properties or texture – the peel remains edible and undamaged.
Is additional conservative treatment possible?
Waxing treatment remains possible if desired or necessary.
What is the shelf life?
SecoFend helps preserve natural freshness for up to 2 months after harvest.
Are there any effects on humans and the environment?
SecoFend is biodegradable and free from harmful chemicals. This means it has no impact on humans or the environment.

Why protection is important
In addition to fungal infestation, environmental conditions such as drought, intense sunlight, or nutrient deficiency also act as stress factors on plants. Targeted support helps to reduce stress reactions and promote plant resilience. This makes the plant more resistant to external influences.
Without adequate natural resistance, plants and fruits can be significantly weakened within a few days and spoil, contributing to considerable economic losses and reduced food availability. The aim of modern methods is to preserve quality for as long as possible and reduce losses in a natural way.
