When it’s time to shift a crop from growing leaves to setting fruit, high phosphorus and potassium with zero nitrogen is exactly what’s needed.
No nitrogen, on purpose
Nitrogen pushes leafy growth. Removing it and loading phosphorus and potassium redirects the plant’s energy into flowers, fruit set, colour and sugar — and hardens the crop before harvest.
Dosage
| Application | Rate | Stage |
|---|---|---|
| Foliar spray | 3–5 ml per litre | Flower initiation to fruiting |
| Drip / Fertigation | 2–3 L per acre | Fruit development |
👉 Pro tip: Start 00-50-62 at flower initiation for better set, then continue through fruit sizing for colour and Brix.
