Efficacy of Cytoplant-400 For Improved Fruit Set and Calibre in Walnuts
Aerial view of the test site. In green, the 3 rows of 5 plants (each repetition) of
treatment T1 and in blue, the T0 treated plants, both separated by a space of 3 trees.
Methodology:
2 treatments with 3 repetitions each
5 trees per repetition
Foliar and phytosanitary fertilizers were applied to the Control (T0),
according to the production program
Treatment 1 (T1): those same applications + 3 applications of Cytoplant-400:
1st in full flowering (17th October 2014)
2nd and 3rd with an interval of 17 days (3rd and 19th November 2014)
Dosage: 100 cm3/hl foliar spraying
Mixture volume: 1,500 l/ha
Start of the repetition applied with Cytoplant-400 End of the 3 rows (each repetition) applied with Cytoplant-400
Production in the field was also evaluated, where all the fruit on one tree per
repetition was harvested. It was dehulled and dried in the same way as the
previous samples, the dried fruit was weighed and the production value per
tree was calculated.
Fallen walnuts and those that did not fall were collected Picking with a harvester
