Berries
Elderberry, redcurrant, blackcurrant and gooseberry growing technology
Application conditions: Soil pH 6–7.5, organic matter min. 1.5%. In summer: early-evening and morning hours.
Soil treatment
Microbiological soil inoculation and organic-matter supply
| # | Recommended timing | Product | Dose | Water |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Before establishment, over the whole surface | Natur Fertil | 50–100 g/m² 5–10 kg / 100 m² | — |
| 2. | At planting, mixed into the hole | Natur Fertil | 30–80 g/hole | — |
| 3. | Incorporated with pruning residues | Natur Micro T | 3 L/ha bacteria + 1.5 L/ha fungus | 200–300 |
Mix the bacterial and fungal components before application. A total of 4.5 L/ha is to be applied.
Application method
Apply the soil treatment as a water-diluted solution by spraying, then incorporate it into the topsoil. It can be applied together with herbicide and liquid N fertilizer.
Foliar fertilizer / Crop treatment
Biostimulant and foliar treatments by season
| # | Recommended timing | Foliar fertilizer | Dose | Water |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | After bud break | Natur Power + MONO Zn | 2 + 1 L/ha | 300–1000 |
| 2. | Leaf development, at the onset of flower formation | Natur Power + concentrated MONO B | 2 + 0.5 L/ha | 300–1000 |
| 3. | After flowering | Natur Power + concentrated MONO B | 2 + 0.5 L/ha | 300–1000 |
| 4. | Green-berry stage, at the onset of ripening | Natur Active + MONO Potassium | 5–7 + 1 L/ha | 300–1000 |
| 5. | During ripening | Natur Power + MONO K + MONO Ca | 2 + 1 + 1 L/ha | 300–1000 |
Potassium increases sugar content and calcium increases resistance to cracking.
Application conditions
Weather suitable for spraying (below 25 °C, calm conditions). In summer heat, spray in the morning or evening hours. Tank-mixable with plant-protection products — always add the foliar fertilizer last. Allow at least 10–14 days between two treatments.
