June has already begun, summer is near and the increase in temperatures is starting to be considerable in the fields of Bajo/Baix Cinca
Once again, we have consulted our partner AgroStock , a company specializing in plant nutrition and a leader in fertilizer development, to find out the recommendations for this time of year for the crops in our region.
As their technical director, Marco Pardo, explains, to protect plants from heat and water stress due to high temperatures, it is important to apply formulations that improve water absorption and retention , as well as provide nutrients to the tissues. This company from Fraga has developed Kaliter GB 30 , recommended for foliar applications at this time of year. These recommendations are especially important for young, growing trees, as well as cherry and apricot trees in post-harvest , to improve flower induction for the following year.
However, for fruit varieties to be harvested in the next 4-5 weeks, Pardo recommends Elicitech Increase as a foliar application, a product that improves fruit color and size. And for cleaning honeydew caused by psyllids or aphids, the most effective formulation is Pampercrop Fosfonet as a foliar application, which can be mixed with standard plant protection products.
No aspect of plant nutrition should be neglected, as AgroStock always reminds us . That's why they recommend consulting with experts in this field to get advice and learn the best recommendations for each crop.
