Our program for table grapes from sprouting to flowering seeks that the sprout has the right vigor and quality to generate the photoassimilates that the plant will need in the growth and maturation stage of the grapes.
Shoots and leaves should be of adequate size and canopy to provide adequate shade for the fruit, not be nutritionally deficient, and be formed prior to fruit set.
Micronutrients are not mobile elements, therefore, the plant requires them to be incorporated as the shoot and leaves grow. applications of Basfoliar® Zn Premium SL and Fetrilon® Combi 2 are key to supporting these new structures.
Magnesium, as a central element in chlorophyll, is also important to provide early by foliar route, so the plant can efficiently manufacture photoassimilates early in the season.
In conditions of cold springs, unbalanced reserves in favor of nitrogen (arginines), or orchard protected with plastic, the inclusion of foliar applications of Potassium are of important support, Basfoliar® K Premium SL can be incorporated at these key moments.
As biostimulants Basfoliar Amino® Premium SL and Basfoliar® Algae SL They are of great help to enhance the development of the shoot, the leaves and the growing clusters. The number of applications will depend on each reality, but it is reasonable to consider two applications in buds of 15 to 20 cm and repeat after 10 days.
In the case of vineyards with excess vigor that compromises the fruit set, applications of Basfoliar® Molybdenum SL plus Basfoliar® Boro SL They will help to balance the orchard and avoid over-thinning, apply at the beginning of flowering or when the problem is appearing.
In the new varieties that use little gibberellic acid to make the berries grow, adding calcium prior to flowering to nourish the rachis is an increasingly common option. Basfoliar® Ca Premium SL it is our recommendation to apply at low doses, but regularly.
Then, from fruit set to harvest, we go through a period where we need to grow the berries to what the market demands, but without losing the quality of the fruit’s skin and so that we can easily take on color and maturity.
