APPLICATION ON ORCHARDS (APPLE TREE)

Treatment of grafts and saplings with the formulation for planting material treatment VIMPEL^®-K (2-3% solution) with stimulant properties and complex micronutrient ORAKUL^® seeds (5% solution) results in:

• increase of successful grafting percentage;
• active recovery of root system after sapling transplanting;
• increase of sapling survival ability by 10-12%.

Treatment with plant growth stimulator VIMPEL^® (1 kg/ha) of young garden, mother plants, grafts and clonal seedling rootstocks 2-3 times during the period of active shoot growth:

• increases annual amount of shoot growth and stem diameter of saplings and rootstocks;
• ramification of yearling plants is enhanced;
• reduces the period of young garden coming into fruition.

Treatment with plant growth stimulator VIMPEL^® (1 – 1.5 kg/ha) of fruit garden before flowering, after flowering and during fruit development period (apple has walnut size):

• accelerates the metabolic processes in tissues, increases absorption by trees major nutrients from the soil and micronutrient fertilizers in the case of foliar treatment;
• enhances the biological efficacy of fungicides by 26-33%;
• photosynthetic activity is improved due to increase of chlorophyll content in leaves;
• enhances heat and drought resistance;
• increases fruit initiation by 35-48%;
• enhances winter hardiness of fruit buds by 25% (domestic varieties) and by 63% (foreign varieties);
• increases yield of marketable fruits by 15-20%;
• increases productivity and eating qualities of fruits.

Adding of the complex universal micronutrient ORAKUL^® multicomplex (application rate 2.0-5.0 L/ha) at this time provides trees with all the necessary nutrients, regardless of changes in weather conditions or the physiological state of the soil.

Application of micronutrient fertilizers ORAKUL^® colofermine of ferrum (3.0-4.0 L/ha) and ORAKUL^® colofermine of boron (1 – 1,5 L/ha) is determined by an increased demand of orchards in ferrum and boron. Deficiency of ferrum leads to chlorophyll destruction, chlorosis can be observed on young leaves. Boron has a positive effect on plant growth, and improves pollination of flowers.

Application of micronutrient fertilizers ORAKUL^® (S, Zn, Cu, Mn, Mg) is conducted when there is deficiency of the corresponding elements.

According to the data of leading Ukrainian research institutions:

• 3-stage application of plant growth stimulator VIMPEL before flowering, after flowering and during fruit development period (apple has walnut size) increases productivity by 2970 kg/ha;
• if adding to the previous scheme treatment with the micronutrient fertilizer ORAKUL^® multicomplex, extra yield amounts to 8390 kg/ha, together with ORAKUL^® colofermine of boron from 9450 up to 32300 kg/ha.

Combined application of VIMPEL^® growth stimulator with microfertilizers from ORAKUL^® series in cultivation technology of horticultural crops (application before and after flowering as well as when apple acquire walnut size) leads to the highest economic return. Yield increase is from 8800 to 32300 kg/ha with improved quality index.
