Agroqualità has just submitted to its distribution network in Spain the results of the trials of Efficient (slow-release nitrogen fertilizer) in citrus fruits and olive grove. Efficient demonstrated in field that can provide constant nitrogen that they need these crops at critical moments, increasing the caliber, weight, and the quality of the fruit.
In the multiple trials developed in these crops in foliar applications, the results have been very positive as Efficient, with two (one in bud and other) applications after fruit set has increased trade sizes of the obtained resultsas well as the rate of maturation and the average weight of citrus fruits. Olivar with several applications before and after fruit set, Efficient has improved the caliber of the fruits, the average weight of these and in olive oil mill improved fatty performance. These results have been submitted to distributors and technicians of the company in Andalusia and Extremadura, in order to move them to farmers this campaign.
Efficient is very suitable for fertilization of citrus and olive groves.
Efficient contributes 28 per cent of the total nitrogen, of which 60% is in the form of Urea formaldehyde, which is available for their assimilation, ensuring a progressive release of nitrogen during a period of 8 to 10 weeks. Foliar application, one of its advantages is that you can apply with major insecticides, fungicides and nutritional commonly used in citrus and olive groves, which prevents duplicate costs of implementation. Another huge advantage is that you can apply just at critical moments of the crop, ensuring a constant assimilation of nitrogen (even in conditions of drought and stress) and managing to increase the weight and quality of the fruit. The synchronization between the need of nitrogen in the plant and the availability of the same, through Efficient, is essential.
