Why apply resistance inductors on kiwifruit? When looking at the kiwi plant, it is essentially the well-being indices to monitor: vegetative vigor and root development. Also in consideration of the fact that we must not forget that the vegetative activity is due to the reserves accumulated in the permanent portions of the plant.

Therefore, if the conditions of the soil-plant-climate system (rootstock activity, variety, fertile soil, climatic trend) are favorable to promote vigor, it may be necessary to intervene in the vegetative-productive activity, shifting the sink-source balance. in favor of the strongest sinks which are the flowers.

If, on the other hand, the plant has not satisfied its own needs in cold weather or if the application with dormancy switches did not give the hoped-for uniformity of budding, it is important to intervene to contain the development of distal shoots and provide more energy to the more buds. backward. And considering that the sprout in distension needs energy for the flowering and fruit set phases, to achieve the best productive result it is essential to limit the development of the sprouts in the case of very vigorous varieties.

States and Tocuzin to disinfect the epigeal organs of the kiwi plant

After the removal and selection of the flowers, another aspect not to be underestimated is the need to disinfect the epigeal organs of the kiwi plant. This is why Mugavero recommends the application of two resistance inductors, such as Statia and Tocuzin.

Statia

Composed exclusively of readily assimilable nutrients, Statia is a “zero residue” liquid formulation, which is ideal for promoting the thickening of the leaf plate and promoting the healing of younger tissues. And, thanks to its high penetration capacity, it can be applied regularly throughout the vegetative-productive cycle of the kiwi plant, helping to keep it healthy and to contain the number of active ingredients used in defense strategies.

Tocuzin

Being an organic fluid mixture of Zinc (Zn) and Copper (Cu) with a low pH reaction for foliar and soil applications, the microelements of Tocuzin are assimilated by the plant tissues by the kiwi plant within a few hours both by foliar application. than radical, thanks to the low molecular weight of the organic complex.

This aspect, of course, allows you to plan foliar interventions with serenity even in the presence of unstable weather. In addition, in addition to having a nourishing action, Tocuzin also has a stimulating action on the vegetation that continues over time. And going into detail, when dealing with the kiwi plant, Mugavero recommends four treatments of Tocuzin, by foliar application from the post-flowering phase to veraison at the label doses. On the other hand, being a resistance inducer, it is also effective against various plant diseases by carrying out a secondary disinfectant action of the lymphatic vessels of the crop, fungicidal and bactericidal.

To counteract the tired ground or the root system with a compressed functionality, Mugavero deploys Niger 650 in the initial budding phase of the kiwi. An effective solution is characterized by a particular formulation containing total humic extracts (2.1%) with a sub-acid reaction

When to give Niger 650 for kiwi

To support the kiwi on the tired ground, Niger 650 is administered by fertigation in two applications 10 days apart. As the radical treatment immediately induces the emission of new roots, stimulating a response that is visibly milder on the epigeal part. In this way the kiwi plant gradually regains vigor and in the long term, in production, it releases an extra boost.
The vegetation of the kiwi plant treated thus becomes darker and takes on greater brilliance. Providing a definitely guaranteed production result. But that is not all. To improve the effectiveness of Niger 650, Mugavero recommends adding Aswell to fertigation. It is an organic product that allows to improve the absorption of soil micro and macronutrients and, at the same time, enhances and improves the cation exchange capacity of the soil.

Concluding the kiwi harvest campaign does not mean completing one’s work, quite the opposite. A series of cultural interventions are necessary that the farmer must take into consideration. Among these, for example, those aimed at phytosanitary protection of the plant and the accumulation of reserve substances to ensure production in the following campaign stand out.

First of all, if summer meteoric events (such as excessive exposure to the sun) are responsible for hydration problems of the plant, on the other hand, we must not forget that autumn meteoric events (such as wind, rain and/or hail) also contribute to creating micro-lesions on semi-woody tissues not yet well lignified of the plant. In both cases, therefore, wounds are created on the kiwi plant which becomes a potential “preferential entrance” for fungal and bacterial infections.

Treatments for the kiwi plant

Before seeing what are the solutions proposed by Mugavero for the cultivation of kiwi, we must, first of all, remember that the characteristics of porosity and roughness of the kiwi wood, compared to that of other fruit crops, increase the susceptibility of the crop to abiotic agents, Furthermore, even the occurrence of nutritional imbalances due to excessively high fertilizations has repercussions on the integrity of the permanent organs of the plant and the maturation of the wood.

This is why, in the conventional management of the plant, we turn to cupric fungicide treatments with a healing and disinfectant action and with concentrations of copper and dosages per unit of surface in most of the times high. Which, however, do not always have positive repercussions on the vegetative development of the plant. So much so that even if they tend to harden the plant, they have no nutritional effect on it. The nutrition of the permanent and productive structures of the plant, immediately after harvest, is, on the other hand, a fundamental phase to complete the accumulation of reserve substances and promote pyroptosis.

Mugavero’s solutions for kiwi cultivation

For the cultivation of kiwi and other deciduous fruit crops, Mugavero has foreseen the post-harvest application of the Gran Riserva. As it promotes pyroptosis and the subsequent entry into the dormancy of the buds. In addition, the lignosulfonates present in the Gran Riserva gives the product marked surfactant and sequestering properties concerning the microelements present (Zn and Mn) responsible, on the treated plant, for a better resistance to cold and defence against pathogens (fungi and bacteria) inhibiting its development.

The kiwi plant treated with Gran Riserva has a better degree of lignification and significant swelling of the buds that can be appreciated with the naked eye even by a non-professional farmer. At the time of winter pruning, which consists in removing the shoots of the plant that was produced the previous year and shortening the shoots next year to bear fruit, the goodness of the lignification of the wood is appreciated.

Mugavero also offers Tocuzin, to be applied in winter pruning and also in green pruning in April and June, immediately after setting. Containing Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn) with a low pH reaction, Tocuzin can be applied by foliar application and by fertigation and, thanks to the low molecular weight of the organic complex, it is assimilated by plant tissues within a few hours; this allows you to plan foliar interventions with serenity even in the presence of unstable weather. Finally, in addition to having a nutritional, fungicidal and bactericidal action on plant tissues, Tocuzin also has a stimulating and invigorating action on vegetation.
