The F-750 Produce Quality Meter uses near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to estimate quality metrics such as dry matter, Total Soluble Solids (TSS or brix), titratable acidity, and color.

The F-750 has a wide range of applications, from determining optimal harvest timing by assessing fruit maturity, to providing an objective analysis of produce quality of fruit in packing houses and upon import.

The F-750 is a handheld, fully integrated system, allowing users to operate it out in the orchard or inside the QA lab. Its simple, intuitive user interface makes it easy for anyone to use, while its model building software makes it customizable and versatile.

Specifically designed to meet the highest requirements in organic culture, Fafard^® O series includes a wide variety of high-performance substrates, all ECOCERT certified. Each mix is made of carefully selected natural ingredients, such as our unique fibrous peat moss, and provides the ideal conditions for plants to grow healthily in a well-balanced environment with living microorganisms.
