Culture Tips
CROP TIME
From planting to harvest: 11 weeks.
PLANTING DENSITY
100 plants / m2 net
PRE-PLANTING
Soil: Well drained, loose soil. At least 25 cm deep. (10 in.) Avoid any hard packed soil.
pH: 5.5 to 6.5
Netting: 2-3 levels
PINCH
At week 8-9, pinch the apical flower bud once well defined (to form the spray). Must be carefull to not remove the side shoots during this work, as it can affect the formation of the spray. This work should be verified in the following week to ensure that all the stems were pinched.
IRRIGATION
After transplanting, irrigate with overhead irrigation and one week after transplanting, switch to drip irrigation with 4 to 5 L / day / m2. If necessary, overhead irrigation reinforcements can be carried out according to organoleptic sampling and atmospheric conditions. Avoid excess water. Soil saturation conditions can promote diseases such as damping off, botrytis, sclerotinia.
FERTILIZATION
Begin fertilization one week after transplanting and continue fertilizing until the end of the crop time.
A general fertilization formula can be the following:
N: 120 ppm; P: 40 ppm; K: 160 ppm; Ca: 120 ppm; Mg: 60 ppm; S: 50 ppm; Fe: 2 ppm; Mn: 2.5 ppm; Cu, Zn y B: 0.2 ppm.
Gilberic Acid
Optional. Spray if flower height needs improvement. Up to 3 applications can be done with 150 ppm each at weeks 3, 5 and 7 after planting.
HARVEST
Harvest when stems have 3-5 opened flowers or depending on the client’s needs.
POSTHARVEST TREATMENT
Hydrate in AVB solution (0.5 cm3 / Lt of Water) and AVB Booster (1 cm3 / Lt) for 4 hours. Subsequently hydrate in Chrysal Professional 2 at a dose of 10 cm3 / Lt for 4 hours.
