Multi-K - Potassium nitrate (13-0-46).
AN - Ammonium nitrate (34% N).
MAP – Mono-ammonium phosphate (12-61-0).
Magnisal – magnesium nitrate (10.8-0-0 + 15.8MgO).
Sp
ecial attention should be paid regarding iron chlorosis. Avoid calcareous soils and apply iron chelates frequently.
Excessive nitrogen can cause premature fruit drop.
Fall is an excellent season to prepare the tree to next season requirements in N, K and Fe. As long as foliage is green and active it will readily absorb these nutrients applied by foliar sprays.
