Roles of nutrients in nuts by crop growth stage
Roles of nutrients in nuts by crop growth stage
Nutrients play essential roles throughout a crop growth cycle. Find out the role of specific nutrients in nut growth and development by growth stage.
Budburst - flowering
Nitrogen
and
potassium
– reactivate and promote the early growth of new plant tissues leading to maximum tree productivity
Phosphorus
– to build tree reserves and maintain root development
Calcium
- boost reserves and provide a strong platform for high yields
Boron
and
zinc
* – if not already applied post-harvest - to maximise flowering and strong fruit set
Iron
– If deficiencies are seen
Fruit set
Nitrogen
– maintain leaf development and fruit development
Potassium
– to maximise growth and early fruit uptake
Calcium
– maintain strong growth of healthy tissues
Sulphur
– to maximise nitrogen efficiency in the tree and improve oil and fat content of the fruit
Boron
and
zinc
* – to maintain growth and development of the flower and developing fruit tissue
Fruit fill - maturity
Potassium
– to build fruit quality during this critical phase
Nitrogen
– in lesser amounts to maintain growth alongside higher rates of potassium
Calcium
,
zinc
and
boron
* –to help improve fruit integrity and improve quality and storability
Post-harvest - prior to leaf senescence
Nitrogen
and
potassium
– to build tree reserves and hence be available for new growth once it commences in the following season
Calcium
and
phosphorus
– to revitalise rooting and ensure strong availability for the following season
Boron
and
zinc
* – to build levels in tissues and produce strong spring budburst and flowering in the following crop
*

How to influence nut yield and quality
Aiming for high yields - with minimal variation between seasons - and superior quality nuts ensures maximum profitability.
How to influence nut health
There is strong evidence to link good crop nutrition with improved tolerance to disease.
Roles of nutrients in nuts by crop growth stage
Nutrients play essential roles throughout a crop growth cycle. Find out the role of specific nutrients in nut growth and development by growth stage.
Nut agronomic principals
Most nut species grow more readily on loamy or even sandy soils than they do on heavy clays. They also prefer well-drained soils, but pecans can tolerate heavy soils that flood occasionally.
Nut nutritional summary
A correct balance between macronutrients and micronutrients is essential to obtain the best results possible from any crop. A deficiency of any single nutrient is enough to limit crop yield
Nut crop nutrition programme
Yara's nut fertiliser recommendations and crop nutrition programmes can help you to achieve excellent growth and maximise the yield and quality of nut species.
