An eye on next season's second year woody crops
Post fruiting plants dedicate much of the later part of the year to bud development for the following years crop so good late season nutrition is vital for next season's crops.
YaraVita BUD BUILDER FL a wettable powder, was developed with the grower base to perform exactly this task. Feeding the developing new buds and surrounding leaves, with good mixture of Phosphorus, Magnesium, Boron and Zinc. These key minerals are required for making good and strong buds. It is important to get as much feed into the plant buds at the end of the year as it is difficult to feed the buds in the start of the following year, without running the risk of waking them up early. Feeding dormant plants has always held the risk of starting them from the winter sleep. The key issue being that once the plants have started though they can slow in growth, they can’t go backwards. This means a late frost can badly damage early waking plants, as happened earlier this year with the grape crop that were woken by early heat in February.
Once buds have woken in Spring YaraVita BUD BUILDER FL can be applied again as it continues to help the plant bud opening and early development.
