BIOTORF Recommendations – FRUIT AND BERRY CROPS

FRUIT AND BERRY CROPS

APPLE TREE, PEAR TREE, PLUM TREE, PEACH, APRICOT, CHERRY, CHERRY TREE, SEA BUCKTHORN, QUINCE, CHERRY PLUM, WALNUT, DOGWOOD, CITRUS FRUITS

AGROTECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS. It is permissible to apply mineral and organic fertilizers together, as well as to combine them with a urea‑ammonium mixture. This helps reduce the overall chemical load on the soil and decrease the amount of fertilizer applied compared to standard norms without compromising yield.

TREATMENT CONDITIONS. Recommended time: morning (before 10:00) or evening (after 18:00). Temperature limits: from +12°C to +25°C. In hot weather (above +25°C) — only in the evening hours.

NOTE. When applied as a foliar treatment, the concentration may be increased to a 3% solution (3 L of concentrate + 100 L of water) in cases where the crop has higher nutritional requirements. Under adverse environmental conditions, the concentration may be increased to a 4–5% solution (4–5 L of concentrate + 100 L of water), provided that preliminary testing is carried out on a small area before large-scale application.

APPLICATION RATE of the working solution varies from 300 to 1,000 L/ha, depending on the area and density of the leaf canopy: for vegetable crops – from 300 to 600 L/ha depending on the growth stage; for fruit and berry crops – from 600 to 1,000 L/ha to ensure complete and uniform wetting of the leaf surface.

SEEDLING TREATMENT; Soaking for up to 12 hours. For mechanized sowing, it is allowed to apply together with a seed treatment in the same tank mixture; stimulates the development of the root system and creates a nutrient reserve for the young plant; 5–10% solution; BIOTORF CONCENTRATE 5–10 L + 100 L of water. 1ST FOLIAR APPLICATION; early vegetation phase (early spring); foliar spraying. Activates bud awakening; 1% solution; BIOTORF CONCENTRATE 1 L + 100 L water. 2nd FOLIAR APPLICATION; budding phase (before flowering); improves growth and fruit set; 1% solution; BIOTORF CONCENTRATE 1 L + 100 L water. 3RD LEAF APPLICATION; 5–7 days after flowering; stimulation of growth and consolidation of ovaries, reduction of stress after flowering, improvement of fruit formation; 1% solution; BIOTORF CONCENTRATE 1 L + 100 L water. 4TH LEAF APPLICATION; Period of flower bud formation; general strengthening of immunity; 1% solution; BIOTORF CONCENTRATE 1 L + 100 L water. SUPPORTIVE SPRAYING; during the fruit growth period (at intervals of 10–14 days); increases yield and improves fruit quality (taste, size, sugar content), enhances their shelf life; 1% solution; BIOTORF CONCENTRATE 1 L + 100 L of water ADDITIONAL SPRAYING; As needed; To stimulate vegetation and increase plant resistance to adverse factors (drought, frost); 1% solution; BIOTORF CONCENTRATE 1 L + 100 L of water SOIL TREATMENT; September – October; To create favorable conditions in the topsoil for seed germination in advance. An increase in concentration is required in cases of severe soil degradation, low organic matter content (<2%), after many years of intensive pesticide use, and on eroded and saline soils; 10–50% solution; BIOTORF CONCENTRATE: 10–50 L + 100 L of water per 1 hectare. PRE‑SOWING; 1–3 weeks before sowing; additional soil preparation, activation of soil microflora, enhancement of the nutrient background. It is advisable to apply it in the rows to form the soil structure; 10–50% solution; BIOTORF CONCENTRATE 10–50 L + 100 L of water per 1 hectare.
