In orchard fruit cultivation, a number of planting processes play a crucial role that determine the final yield and grading. These important processes are: the sprouting and development of the leaves, flowering, fruit setting and the ripening of the fruits. A grower can positively influence these processes by applying the right fertilisers and biostimulants at the right time.
