Summary
This CORE Organic Practice Abstract gives practical recommendations for the organic fertilisation of young apple orchards.
| EPrint Type: | Practice tool |
|---|---|
| What problem does the tool address?: | Apple trees require satisfactory soil mineral nitrogen levels before, during and a few weeks after the full bloom. Organic fertilisers are extremely heterogeneous and some of them do not provide an adequate level of bioavailable nitrogen in the desired moment. |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | It is necessary to choose fertilisers with low C/N ratio, if possible in liquid form, as the mineralisation* of the organic matter proceeds faster. The right amount of bioavailable nitrogen can compensate for the soil deficit and significantly improve the harvest. |
