Providing trees with adequate nutrition after harvest has been proven to dramatically increase the performance of next year's crop.
At the onset of a new season, trees use only stored energy to break buds and flower.
It isn’t until the first leaves have developed that the tree can begin to photosynthesise and start using nutrients from the soil.
This means that if we have substantial stored nutrition from the previous season, the tree will have good momentum at the start of the season and a good chance to form bigger and stronger spur leaves, resulting in highly efficient photosynthetic activity to improve fruit-set, tree growth, fruit quality and fruit size.
Robust post-harvest program
A robust post-harvest program addressing both micro and macronutrients will ensure the most energy possible is stored in the buds to set the trees up for a great start to the next season.
