  • The Essential Role Post Harvest Nutrition Plays in Future Yield and Quality

    —Sponsored Content—

    The almond and pistachio seasons have delivered a tale of contrasts. Market improvement and a near-record crop were positives for almond growers, while poor pollination, blanking and sharply lower production challenged the pistachio season.

    The endurance required to finish the season should be matched by foresight in taking the right steps after harvest. The work that pays off next fall starts now. Your trees have expended tremendous energy, and an effective post-harvest nutrition program is an important part of their recovery and preparation for the season ahead.

    At Redox Bio-Nutrients, our focus is helping growers get more from their nutritional programs. RAM Technology is the cornerstone of our product line and functions as a plant performance support system rather than a single product or quick fix. By supporting the natural processes plants use to manage energy, maintain balance and use available nutrition, RAM Technology helps orchards recover after harvest and prepare for the season ahead.

    Here are strong building blocks to a post-harvest recharge for your orchards:

    TriPlex® Zinc Flowable

    • Is a rich source of L-amino acid, chelated zinc that supports plant health, yield, nutrient assimilation and essential metabolic processes.

     

    Rx Platinum™

    • Provides a comprehensive nutrient package with biostimulants that support soil health, stress resilience and root growth. This post-harvest nutritional infusion helps replenish the plant and prepare it for the season ahead.

     

    RDX-N®

    • Uses patented botanical-extract technology to support nitrogen metabolism inside the plant. By supporting the natural processes that assimilate nitrogen and convert it into amino acids and other essential compounds, RDX-N helps plants make more efficient use of available nitrogen – supporting yield potential, crop quality and overall plant performance.

     

    BanX®

    • Supports carbohydrate storage and utilization for continued plant performance. With zinc and boron, it supports cell structure, sugar metabolism, stress response and long-term orchard productivity.

    These products are easy to store, blend friendly and effective at very low rates – built to fit into the operation you already run, not complicate it.

    You put in the long hours, early mornings, late nights and weekend labor that got this year’s crop across the finish line. Give your orchards the recovery they’ve earned and give next season the head start it deserves.

  • Jumpstart your Growing Season with Redox during Bloom and Post-Bloom

    —Sponsored Content—

    Bloom is upon us and it is time to pick a quality product to increase crop set. Nutrition decisions made now will have a major impact on your yield and quality during harvest.

    Redox Bio-Nutrients technology has been specially formulated with Redox Active Molecules (RAM), to keep plants in balance, allowing them to increase yield. When plants are balanced, they focus on reproductive and vegetative processes.

    Here are specific ways Redox can help:

    Supreme™ delivers RAM derived complexed mineral and bio stimulant properties. These specifically drive early season movement of sugars and nitrogen metabolism in our crops. Applying Supreme™ during bloom and shortly after bloom improves crop set and size, depending on application timing. Here is some data to back that up.



    Material was applied with an air blast sprayer at a spray volume of 100 gallons per acre. Nuts from each tree were isolated and field weights were taken. Each sub-sample was hand cracked for quality evaluations. Supreme™ was applied three times and 2 lbs./acre, with applications at pre-bloom, petal fall and at five weeks. Nut weight, kernel size and percent of blank kernels were evaluated. The results were impressive. Supreme™ increased yield by 30.3% and decreased blanks by 38.1%.

    Supreme Product

    Improve Nitrogen Metabolism with Velox™ (formerly V-55).

    Velox™ is specially formulated to improve general reproductive energy in plants. This product uses complexing technology to improve mobility of phosphorus, zinc and boron in the plant.

    As with the Redox product line, a little goes a long way. Suggested application is 1-2 lbs. per acre. This product has been proven to increase the set of fruit, nuts, and other crops!!! Check the data for yourself.

    Don’t forget Calcium and Silicon at Bloom – Redox sets the standard with These Nutrients

    Calcium plays a pivotal role in cell division and defines quality of cell structure. Silicon has symbiotic relationship with Calcium since it helps organize the strong cells that have adequate calcium. This “STACKING” that Redox is known for is a way to increase your crops integrity. Reducing space taken up by oxygen and replacing it with carbon sources. Less air, more fruit, more weight, and more money in your pocket per unit of crop!!! Check data below to see how we will prove it to you!

    Apply 16-32 ounces of Mainstay® Si starting at pink bud, along with Supreme™ applications.
