KIWI SIZE
Fruit Size & Growth
NATURAL BIO-STIMULANT TO ENHANCE CELL DIVISION
NutriChem's Kiwi Size is a liquid foliar biostimulant spray. It comprises a natural, protein based formulation, manufactured using a highly specialised technology.
-
Kiwi Size is a precise blend of specific amino acids & nutrients to encourage increased cell division in Kiwifruit.
-
After cell division 4-6 weeks post fruit-set, there is a huge demand for nutrients. During this crucial cell division stage, applications of NutriChem's Kiwi Size helps encourage larger fruit size.​
-
Apply 25-30 days after fruit-set. Follow label application timings 10-14 days apart.
-
NB: Results dependent on implementation of standard orchard management practices (including girdling), as well as the correct application of Kiwi Size in December, & Kiwi Control in January/February (Southern Hemisphere) - environmental conditions considered
KIWI CONTROL
Canopy Management
INCREASE FRUIT SIZE & REDUCE SUMMER PRUNING
NutriChem's Kiwi Control is a natural-based liquid foliar fertiliser spray, using a proprietary formulation of magnesium, amino acids & pentose.
NutriChem's Kiwi Control is manufactured using highly specialised technology with a unique agent that directs nitrogen energy into enhancing fruit growth, & away from growing canes & tips
How Kiwi Control's mechanism affects growth;
-
It slows down the growth of canes & tips.
-
Redirects nitrogen away from vegetative growth to help enhance fruit sizing
-
Increases the production of chlorophyll, which in turn facilitates photosynthesis, increases carbohydrate & dry matter.
-
NB: Results dependent on implementation of standard orchard management practices (including girdling), as well as the correct application of Kiwi Size in December & Kiwi Control in January/February (Southern Hemisphere) - environmental conditions considered
​​Application Instructions for Kiwi Control​
-
Kiwi Control is a great canopy management tool. Used prudently, it can substantially help reduce summer pruning costs.
-
Optimal results are achieved when a comprehensive, industry standard, summer pruning regimen is implemented. (Kiwi Control cannot substitute substandard summer pruning & girdling practices)
-
Aim for at least 2 rounds of opening the canopy up by removing all blind shoots, along the main leader & tipping (where needed) to allow light penetration.
-
The key is to keep an open canopy before you begin spraying. Aim to achieve this prior to, or just after Christmas (Southern Hemisphere)
-
The time to begin spraying Kiwi Control is when replacement canes are the length you'd want to tie down in the winter. This is usually around mid January (Southern Hemisphere)​
