This is the most agriculturally diverse industry in both nutrient and climatic requirement, yet fundamentally, be it mango, bananas or avocado in Northern Australia to cherries, apples, nectarines or blue berries in the South, the balance between yield and vitality cannot be separated.
Physically "crop yield" finds its origin at fruit set, nutrient availability will determine the extent of fruit abortion, which can be directly attributed to the trees receptability to uptake and translocate essential mineral elements at critical stages in fruit developement, which can only be achieved by addressing soil nutrient deficiencies associated to the tree's vitality requirements.
In established orchards, the absence of essential minor elements like copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), boron (B), iron (Fe), and molybdenum (Mo) can be critical for crop growth and yield as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) or potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), and sulphur (S). In their available forms, all these minerals are essential plant nutrients for the manufacture of chlorophyll, carbohydrates, fats and lipids, amino acids, proteins including enzymes, hormones, vitamins, and many secondary metabolites.
Humate Fertilisers have nutrient suspending characteristics allowing soil micro-organisms to convert major and minor mineral elements to available forms which is then transported to the root zone and absorbed by the plant roots.
