Achieving consistency in set and minimizing alternate bearing cycles is the key to consistent yields and higher profits. The secret is ensuring the tree has the right nutrients at the right time in the right forms and right mix. Agro-K’s carbohydrate based foliar line including Vigor-SeaCal, Vigor-Cal-Bor-Moly and Zinc Plus +4 DL, are designed to help growers meet peak nutrient timings in the crop cycle. Nut set can be influenced by boron which enhances pollination. Calcium is synergistic with boron and enhances its affect. Molybdenum plays a direct role in nut set and retention. Agro-K’s Vigor-Cal-Bor-Moly is the perfect mix to apply from pink bud to early bloom. Applying Vigor-SeaCal with AgroBest 9-24-3 just prior to and during the bloom period provides rapid penetration, uptake and translocation of calcium and phosphate to help drive cell division setting the stage for large, dense nuts with maximum weight. The energy requirements to maximize cell division and nut fill is significant and requires large, healthy, and efficient functioning leaves. Zinc is essential for maximum leaf development, vascular function and root growth. Magnesium is critical for chlorophyll. Manganese is required for proper root development and nitrogen utilization. Agro-K’s Zinc +4 D.L. provides these key nutrients helping maximize leaf surface area, chlorophyll and root growth. Yield results of two consecutive years of replicated data, on the same trees, are shown in the charts. The increases on the treated plots equaled 486 and 514 lbs./ac in 2015 and 2016 respectively. These nut meat yields were statistically different from the grower standard practice at the 5% level (P=.05) and 1% level (P=.01) respectively. The trial was replicated six times on 4th and 5th leaf Independence variety almonds using the same replicate plots in both years to demonstrate not only efficacy of a complete foliar and soil nutrient program but also the cumulative benefits of the Agro-K program built on sound agronomic principals and designed to maximize yield and minimize alternate bearing. Almonds naturally tend towards alternate bearing. Meeting peak nutrient demand at all stages of crop growth and tree development is critical to maximizing tree growth and health in the current year and to set the stage for next year’s production. Achieving consistent above average yields year over year requires a thorough understanding of plant physiology and nutrient demands, the right tools to address the nutrient requirements on a timely basis, and the commitment to stick to a long-term science-driven driven approach to nutrient management.
