IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHOOSE WELL THE TYPE OF FERTILIZER TO USE
We are already on a few dates in which, Once past the coldest part of winter, We begin to raise the subscriber. When we think fertilization, almost always involves the use of a product that contains Nitrogen in its composition, as it is necessary for the correct growth and development of the shoots during the spring, Among other functions. It is, by its nature, It is very soluble in water so it can be easily washed in the rains without what the olive tree takes.
If applied during the colder months, usually December and January, there is a greater risk of losing a good part of it due to this washing since the olive tree is in winter standstill and does not take it from the ground. With this also the money and the time invested in paying. further, there is a risk of late frosts, that affect more if fertilizer with nitrogen has already been applied, because it is more tender and sensitive to the cold. From elsewhere, by regulations of Conditionality and Environment, It is forbidden to apply this type of fertilizer in the olive grove in December and January; and this is mandatory for all.
Another point to keep in mind is the type of fertilizer to use.. This decision depends on its composition and its price.. To choose an appropriate payment to our needs is necessary to observe the ratio of the cost of the fertilizer per unit of nitrogen fertilizer, Phosphorus and Potassium. So we can avoid a credit seemingly "cheap", but low wealth, we find it expensive.
In view of what has been the fall and winter it is coming, from the technical services we recommend a foliar fertilization with amino acids, together with the application of copper, when temperatures rise to over 15 degrees continuously, something that is normally given in February. Its objective would help the olive reactivated after cold.
Later, in March, and if it is recommended fertilizer complex to the ground, having both nitrogen and phosphorus and potassium. You can also choose to use Compost Cooperative. Right now the tree is already active and can take appropriate nutrients, Also watching in the days following the subscriber is given some rain.
For any doubt consult technical cooperative.
