Olive Tree & BROTOMAX®

BROTOMAX®

APPLICATION TIMES, MODES AND DOSE

1st foliar application: throughout the process of differentiation of vegetative budding. Can be done together with treatment against repilo. Dose: 0,3% (3 L/ 1000L).
2nd foliar application: from flowering until the end of fruit setting. Can be done together with treatment against repilo. Dose: 0,3% (3 L/ 1000L).
3rd foliar application: approximately one month before harvesting. Dose: 0,3% (3 L/ 1000L).

Can be applied through the soil at the same times.

Dose: 5 L/Ha.

POST-HARVEST TREATMENT

Heals micro-wounds caused by harvesting, slowing down the entry of vascular diseases and bacteria such as Tuberculosis.
Induces the lignification of plant tissues, hindering the penetration of the bark mosquito.
Less leaf fall

Dose (foliar): 0,3%.

BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES

FIRST APPLICATION:

Higher number of dormant buds sprouted.
Stimulates the vegetation. Better tree lining.
Increases polyphenol content, thus increasing self-defence capacity and helping to cope with vascular diseases.

SECOND APPLICATION:

Increases the length of the year’s shoots. An important factor to determine the following year’s flowering, helping buds to grow. Overcomes imbalances that are produced by the capacity of organs.
Enhaces fruit anchorage..

THIRD APPLICATION:

Accumulates reserves preserving winter output.
Greater resistance to cold (strengthens the stem without softening it).
Boosts potassium absorption..
Key treatment to help plant cope with Verticilosis

Related to the quality of the oil, the second and third applications:

Increase the oil’s antioxidant capacity, stabilising it and prolonging its life.
Increase the oil yield of the olive.
Enhance the varietal’s organoleptic properties.

RECOMMENDATIONS

To effectively prevent or correct deficiencies of Zinc, Manganese and Magnesium a foliar application of LANZADERA®3 is recommended.

Dose: 0,2% – 0,3% (2-3 L/1000L).

A third application of BROTOMAX® together with LANZADERA® POTASIOis recommended to encourage maturation and fattening of fruit.

Dose (foliar): 2,5 – 3% (2,5 – 3 L/1000 L).

In cases of strong attacks of Verticillium, Phytophthora, etc. we recommend applying BROTOMAX® wetting the trunk and branches well.

Dose (foliar): 5 L/Ha.

NEW PLANTATIONS

With the aim of achieving:

Better rooting (fewer losses).
More vigorous plants.
Reduced time before entry into production.

In new plantations we recommend two soil applications of CORRIZ·AM®, one at transplantation and another 7-10 days later.

Benefits:

Causes proliferation of absorbent hairs and a larger root mass.
Generates a vegetative improvement and a larger trunk diameter.
Promotes multiplication and lengthening of the roots.
Stimulates mycorrhization.

Dose: 5 L/Ha ( ±10 cc/foot).

After these applications two consecutive soil applications of BROTOMAX® is recommended, at intervals of 7 and 10.

Benefits:

Boosts sprouting, producing a greater number of more vigorous buds.
Better lining of the seedling.
Greater plant height.
Strengthens the stem without softening it (plant more resistant to cold).

Dose: 5 L/Ha ( ±10 cc/foot).

At the end of the aforementioned Establishment Programme, a monthly soil application of BROTOMAX® is advisable during the plant’s vegetative activity period (between March and October). When the plant reaches a stage where it is well leafed, this application can be foliar.

Dose: 5 L/Ha. (irrigation application) – 0,3% (3 L/1000 L) (foliar application).

This treatment is perfectly compatible with amino acids, nutritional supplements, phytosanitary treatments, etc.
