Micro elements
The fruit trees bud, in spring, using the reserves they have in the wooden parts. That is why it is important to nourish them in autumn after harvest with all the essential elements such as Boron and Zinc (with Chelal® B, Chelal® Zn or Hyberol) in order to assure a good development of the flowers and a homogeneous growth in spring.
Hyberol is a product specially developed for this purpose. It contains the essential elements Boron and Zink which the plants will keep in its wooden organs (stems and branches) in reserve in the winter. Hyberol contains also algae extracts (contains sugars and nitrogen in the form of amino acids) and poliols, all metabolites that the plants will need during the winter period or for an optimal budding in spring.
After the bloom, it is also crucial to accompany the development of the young fruits from fruit set during the period of intense cell division up to the beginning of the hardening of the stone.
Chelal® B and Chelal® Alga are recommended during this period.
Fructol NF®, a complex foliar fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and chelated trace elements, will guarantee a homogeneous and balanced growth of the cells.
Meso elements
The shelf life and the firmness of the fruits is influenced by the calcium in the fruits. Chelal® Omnical will improve the calcium nutrition of the fruits.
Applications of Chelal® Omnical are recommended from the start of the hardening of the stone up to 10 days before harvest.
Meso elements
After the harvest the preparation of the next season can already start.
