Foliar feeding of hops with «ECOORGANIC» fertilizers
Hops are a specific crop because they grow in the same place for many years. This can lead to deficiency of individual nutrients. For normal growth and development hop plants need macroelements and a whole range of microelements: boron, manganese, copper, zinc, molybdenum. Hops respond very well to feeding with organic fertilizers, and when these are scarce, green manures can be an alternative.
As for foliar feeding of plants, ECOORGANIC suggests applying the following fertilizers in the most important growth and development phases of the crop:
- During the formation of 5–7 leaves - to activate the growth of the root system and of the plants as a whole - GROS Phosphito-NP 2.0 l/ha.
- Start of side shoot formation – to activate photosynthesis in the plant - a complex of ECOLINE Magnesium (Chelates) 1.5 l/ha + ECOLINE Zinc (Chelate) 1.5 l/ha.
- Before flowering - to raise yield and improve its quality - GROS Quicelium 1.5 l/ha + ECOLINE Phosphite (K) 1.0 l/ha.
- After flowering - to improve cone quality - ECOLINE Magnesium (Chelates) 2.0 l/ha
