Effect of Tierra-Sorb® And AminoQuelant-K application (Bioiberica) on production and fruit size in avocado
Avocado is a very important crop wordwide, wich adapts to very diferente edaphic and climatic conditions.
The characteristics of this crop, spcecially it’s great vigos, it’s slow production start and the adverse factors to wich flowering and fruit setting are subject to, entail a high production variability.
Thus, crop management is very important un order to ensure a targer harvest. This trial has evaluated the application of Terra-Sorb®Marco radicular (application throught drip irrigation) and AminoQuelant®-K (foliar application)to determine whether they can be helpful to increase production in this crop.
Trial data
Organism: Agrogest
Location: Salvador Heredia’s estate, Vélez-Málaga. Málaga
Variety: Hass
Platation area: 8 x 4m
- Control: untreated
- Terra-Sorb® marco radicular +
AminoQuelant®-K: 43l/ha + 12 l/ha
10 trees each, two repetitions for each treatment
Terra-Sorb®4 marco radicular is applied radiculary by microsprinkler irrigation in 8 applications and AminoQuelant®-K by foliar srpay, 3 applications before harvest.
Conclusions
- Applying Terra-Sorb® in avocado crop from flowering until fruit development has a very positive effect on fruit setting and fruit retention
- The important production increase thanks to Terra-Sorb® and AminoQuelant®-K treatment is observed in all commercial categories.
- AminoQuelant®-K application seems to have a positive effect on fruit size and production; however, a correction of the fertilization program is recommended to adjust it to the number of fruits set.
