The Mugavero color protocol for extra-early productions Strawberry of the South

The Mugavero color protocol

With the imminent Christmas holidays, the campaign in southern Italy for strawberries obtained under greenhouses is about to begin. The Mugavero color protocol comes into play to ensure balanced ripening of the fruit and uniform coloring, and to do so you need to start off on the right foot by intervening in nutrition from the early stages of plant development. The qualitatively appreciable final result can be achieved with balanced fertilization and correct irrigation shifts; an error in the management of the plant by the operator can postpone the collection of fifteen days with respect to the expected collection date.

Starting from the planting out of the plant, regular foliar applications of STATIA, a “zero residues” resistance inducer, help to intervene in the vegetative-productive balance of the plant, strengthening the plant without enhancing the vegetative vigor.

Upon completion of the enlargement phase, when the strawberry begins to “whiten”, the application of NIGER 700 and UPPER GROW in fertigation provides the plant with the correct push to accelerate the “ripening” processes and compensate for some nutritional deficiencies of the fruit.

NIGER 700 is a water-soluble fertilizer with a sub-acid reaction with humic and fulvic acids, which combines organic acidification with the right amount of potassium readily available for the plant; UPPER GROW, on the other hand, is a biostimulant with organic acids enriched with macroelements which improve the consistency and shelf-life of the harvested product. UPPER GROW can also be used for foliar application, helping to increase the sugar/acid ratio of the strawberry; mixed with GEL MATUR, NPK fertilizer in an exclusive gel formulation with chelated microelements, it ensures an improvement in the consistency and final organoleptic qualities of the fruit.

The expectations of extra-early strawberry productions are often not very high, especially in terms of flavor: when harvested, strawberries must have a “fragrance” and a “strawberry flavor”: this is what the Mugavero protocol guarantees, in addition to color and ” in the post-harvest.
