Honeyberry Nutrition Guide

Our LoveHoneyberry Nutrition Guide
Our aim is to help you improve your orchard’s soil fertility to allow you to grow high
yielding, dense nutrient Honeyberries with sweeter flavours and longer shelf life. Growers
can implement our nutritional strategies by including key products into your current
programs. Crop Phase
Key Nutrition Requirement
Suggested Products
Soil preparation
Determine soil nutrient requirements by taking a soil NTS Soil Therapy Report
test. Balancing the minerals in your soil will help
improve soil structure and increase general fertility.
Soil microbiology plays an essential role in nutrient Nutri-Life Micro Force - requires
solubilisation, nutrient recycling, carbon sequestration brewing
and root health. Building biological activity gives Dominate-F Organic (fungi)
growers the opportunity to reduce dependence on
chemical inputs.
Soil/fertigate - repeat every 2 to 4
weeks or as required
Mycorrhizal (VAM or AM) and Trichoderma fungi Nutri-Life Platform (soil/fertigate)
enhance nutrient delivery and root zone health. Apply
Nutri-Life Platform once early in the season or TrueHume Soluble Granules or
combine with your cover crop for effective root
DIY Liquid Humic Acid
colonization.
Cover Crop
Fall planting
There are many potential gains from including cover
crops in your fertility program The five species
involved in any successful cocktail include grasses,
cereals, brassicas, chenopods and legumes. A typical
cocktail might include a dozen different plants, but the
mix must contain all of the five species.
Five Family Cover Crop Mix
TrueBlend Soil Rejuvenator
Earth Boost
Zeolite
Provide an early plant boost with composted chicken Life Force P Plus (pellets)
manure pellets, fortified with extra P and K. This will
supply Phosphorus to help establish success, as well SeaChange KFT (soil/fertigate)
as Nitrogen, Potassium and trace elements.
Promote vigour root with a post plat fertigation or soil
sprays.
Pre Flowering
Maintain broad-spectrum nutrition, including NPK,
Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements, to ensure
strong early growth.
Nutri-Kelp
Soluble Boron
Cloak Spray Oil
Apply foliar spray just prior to

Key Nutrition Requirement
Bloom to Green
Berry
A leaf test during bloom and fruit-set will provide a NTS Plant Therapy Report
baseline for more accurate selection of further inputs.
Adjust general program according to report
Calcium is critical for cell-division and directly affects
berry size potential. It is also critical for fruit resilience
and extended shelf life. Boron is another essential
nutrient for fruit sizing and effective pollination.

Harvest
Adequate Potassium is critical throughout fruit fill, for Potassium Silicate
optimum fruit sizing and quality. Supplement with
Silicon for improved crop resilience
NTS Fast Fulvic (soil/fertigate) or
DIY Liquid Fulvic Acid
Young Honeyberries can be prone to fungal diseases Dia-Life Organic
such as power mildew. Ensuring excellent plant health Nutri-Tech Tricho-Shield
is the first step to combat this.
Alternated with applications of
Nutri-Life Micro Force - requires
brewing
Leaf tests during harvest will also be valuable to NTS Plant Therapy Report
determine the ongoing needs of your Honeyberry
plants
Post Harvest
Maintain broad-spectrum nutrition, including NPK,
Vegetative Growth Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements, to ensure
strong post harvest stem growth before the plant goes
into dormancy.
The plant will naturally go into dormancy without a
post harvest nutrition program.
