Olive Flowering and Fruit Set Improves with AGRIMOBI OLIVE-P

AGRIMOBI OLIVE-P is a high-phosphorus foliar fertilizer specifically formulated to prevent and correct phosphorus deficiencies in olive trees during flowering, fruit set, and early fruit development. By improving nutrient absorption and supporting energy transfer, it enhances flower density and pollination, ultimately promoting a stronger fruit set and increasing overall grove productivity.

As the olive grove enters the flowering phase in April, it undergoes a brief but decisive period for crop success. During this time, the tree’s demand for phosphorus increases considerably. It is essential to prevent and correct any deficiency to promote both flowering and fertilization, ensuring an optimal fruit set percentage. To support olive nutrition during this vital phase, ICL has developed a specific formula: AGRIMOBI OLIVE-P (11-40-11).

What Makes the AGRIMOBI Range of Suspensions Unique?

The new range of AGRIMOBI suspensions is characterized by very high nutrient concentrations. Thanks to an exclusive micromilling process and the addition of specialized surfactants and adjuvants, these formulations are highly stable. They combine the advantages of liquid foliar fertilizers with those of solid fertilizers, offering:

• High nutrient concentration.
• Easy dosing (measured by volume rather than weight).
• Simplified logistics with streamlined handling and storage.
• Dust-free application.
• A neutral pH that promotes foliar absorption.
• High rewetting capacity.

How Does AGRIMOBI OLIVE-P Prevent Phosphorus Deficiencies during flowering?

Within this range, AGRIMOBI OLIVE-P (11-40-11) has been developed to be the ideal solution for preventing and correcting deficiencies, particularly phosphorus, during the flowering phase. This concentrated NPK suspension is applied via foliar spray, optimizing adsorption onto the leaves and penetration through the cuticle. This process activates metabolic cells that translocate nutrients directly to the target organs.

When Should AGRIMOBI OLIVE-P be Applied for Best Results?

AGRIMOBI OLIVE-P should be applied throughout the stages of flowering, fruit-set, and early fruit ripening. Phosphorus is an essential component involved in most biochemical processes related to energy transfer within the plant. By supplying the energy necessary for the proper development and flower density, it plays a decisive role in pollination, fruiting, and the initial stages of fruit growth.

How Does the AGRIMOBI OLIVE-P Formula Maximize Nutrient Absorption?

Thanks to its specialized formulation, this foliar fertilizer has a high capacity to re-solubilize with ambient humidity. This maximizes the absorption rate by increasing the duration that nutrients remain available on the leaf surface.

The benefits of this technology have been proven in the field, with key highlights including:

• A formulation specific to the nutritional needs of olive groves.
• Support for vegetative activity, development, growth, and productivity.
• Prevention and correction of nutrient deficiency, specifically phosphorus.
• Superior solubility and re-solubilization capacity.

What is the Recommended Dosage for AGRIMOBI OLIVE-P?

Due to its high concentration and purity, only small quantities are required. A general dosage of 300-450 ml/hl is recommended. This dose should be adjusted based on the specific conditions of each plot and the overall fertilization program. Applications can be repeated depending on the nutritional status of the tree and the expected harvest. The ICL technical team is available to advise on developing a tailored fertilization plan to ensure nitrogen is applied at the most suitable time for the olive trees.

What Other Solutions are Available in the AGRIMOBI OLIVE Range?

The AGRIMOBI OLIVE range offers several solutions tailored to different critical cultivation phases:

• AGRIMOBI OLIVE-K: Specifically designed to prevent and correct potassium deficiencies, especially during the pit hardening, fruit sizing, and ripening phases.
• AGRIMOBI OLIVE-TOTAL: High in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients; recommended between pre-flowering and post-fruit set.
• AGRIMOBI OLIVE-N: Featuring a high nitrogen content to promote vegetative growth.
