Culture Tips
CROP TIME
From planting to harverst: 12 -13 weeks
PLANTING DENSITY
12 plants /m2 net
PRE-PLANTING
Soil: Loose soil well drained with a level surface and t least 25 cm deep..
Netting: 3 levels. The plants grow between 1.5 and 1.8 m and therefore require a good tutored system.
CE: 1.2
PINCH
Between two and three weeks after pinching it is recommended to de-sprout each stem, removing the axillary shoots. Re-do the task as the plant grows. It does not require light or gibberellins.
IRRIGATION
The daily volume of drip irrigation can be between 5.0-5.5 l / m2 / day, according to daily evaporation and organoleptic sampling. Avoid excess moisture in the soil to avoid the appearance of diseases.
FERTILIZATION
The supply of high amounts of Nitrogen increases the susceptibility of plants to Botrytis. A general fertilization formula can be the following:
N: 120 ppm , P: 50 ppm, K: 150 ppm
Ca: 120 ppm, Mg: 50 ppm, S: 50 ppm
Fe: 2 ppm, Mn: 2.5 ppm, Cu,: 0.2 ppm
Zn: 0.2 ppm, B: 0.2 ppm.
HARVEST
It is recommended to harvest when 80% of the flowers of the umbel are open. If it is cut with less than 50% of the open flowers, hydration is difficult.
POST-HARVEST TREATMENT
Use AVB (0.5cm3 /Lt of Water). Mix very well and add AVB Booster (1 cm3/Lt of Water. Keep the flower in this solution for 4 hrs. Then hydrate for 4 hrs in CHRYSAL PROFESSIONAL 2 (10 cm3/Lt of Water).
