Apple: products indicated and the dose on each data sheet

The apple tree does two things at once during the summer: it fills out this year's fruit and forms next year's flower in the buds. That is why fertilisation is split between spring, from budbreak through fruit set and thinning, when demand is highest; fruit fill, in which calcium weighs on the quality and storage life of the apple; and late summer and post-harvest, when the tree builds reserves for the following budbreak. What decides the season is that balance between this year's fruit load and next year's flower.

On this page we bring together the products in our catalogue whose data sheet names the apple tree in its list of crops. In the dose line, our data sheets do it in two ways: some write apples by name within the list of fruit trees, and most publish a dose for fruit trees —or for fruit trees, vegetable crops and arable crops at once—, almost always with two routes, foliar and fertigation, and often with two regimes, maintenance and severe deficiency. Some data sheets name the apple tree but do not publish a dose for fruit trees: in that row we write nothing and refer to the data sheet.

The table has three columns: the product, linked to its data sheet; the family it belongs to; and the doses the data sheet states for fruit trees. Each dose line begins with the use as the data sheet writes it —the route, the regime and the crops it refers to— and continues with the quantity. What is not in the table is in the data sheet: the timing of application, which every data sheet publishes in its dose block, the precautions and the mixing incompatibilities. We do not order the products by crop stage because our data sheets do not publish the dose by stage, and here we do not write what the data sheet does not say.

If the question on your farm is which of these data sheets fits the soil, the water and the state of the apple tree, the technical enquiry exists for that: we reply with the data sheet in hand.
