Apple is the most important species of fruit trees in the temperate climate zone.
The consumption of apples is increasing, and the consumer demands on the quality of the fruit and its taste are also growing. The fulfillment of these expectations is an important factor determining the development of apple orchards and the profitability of their production.
The first years after planting the trees, when the yield potential of the trees is formed, are an important period in apple cultivation.
One of the most important issues in apple cultivation at that time is providing trees with the right nutrients in the amounts needed for proper tree development and growth so that they reach high yield levels in the shortest possible time. Therefore, the method of plant nutrition and growth stimulation as well as the choice of fertilizers whose nutrients should be easily available to plants is of great importance.
Equally important is the date of application of fertilizers, so that nutrients are supplied to various parts of plants.
Presently, foliar treatments are an integral part of the mineral nutrition programs for fruit trees – even in young orchards.
They should be carried out in every orchard, also in those planted on fertile soils, maintained in good culture and grown under optimal weather conditions, to:
The proper development and growth of trees is determined by their good condition throughout the growing season.
Even a short-term deficiency of nutrients may have a negative impact on the growth of trees and reaching the full fruiting capacity.
Therefore, it is necessary comprehensive assessment of the requirements of the plants at any stage of their development. This will allow them to be properly fed and biostimulated. INTERMAG’s wide range of products, allows you to develop your own individual foliar fertilization and biostimulation program, considering local soil conditions, crop intensity, stage of plant development and availability of various products.
Particularly noteworthy are the highly alkaline fertilizer , which, in addition to the basic functions of bringing in nutrients, has shielding properties for plants: ALKALIN™ PK 10:20.
All the discussed activities significantly influence the proper growth of trees and the development of their yield potential.
