Prepare your Strawberry Crop for the Unpredictable Winter Months
Along the central coast of California it is not uncommon to experience really warm daytime temperatures, followed by periods of extreme cold nighttime temperatures during this time of the year. Early season plant growth is critical and sets the stage for the crop potential for months to come. It is crucial to have proper, readily available nutrition as we move forward into the winter season for a successful crop.
Cold soil temperatures usually mean a limitation in the nutrients available in the soil. Having increased nutrient availability during drastic temperature changes encourages root production and allows greater soil exploration. This reduces plant stress and promotes above-ground plant health, improved water relations and root health, which lead to increased yields, and crop quality. Improved plant health will promote greater supply of carbohydrates to the roots, critical for root health and functioning. The key to a successful winter crop is improving tolerance to and recovery from stresses such as drought, heat, cold, salinity, etc.
How can you help your crop manage environmental stresses
How do you ensure that your crops have all the nitrogen and calcium they need to manage environmental stresses? YaraLiva Calcium Nitrate is an ideal choice to provide your crop with a highly soluble and a consistent source of calcium. Fertilizers like YaraLiva® CAN-17™ or YaraLiva® CN-9® have typically been used early in the season to provide crops with readily available nitrate-N when soil and air temperatures are cool. However, the soluble calcium in YaraLiva CAN-17 and CN-9 also plays a key role in helping crops overcome environmental stresses such as heat, water, salinity and sodicity. YaraLiva products need to be part of your season-long fertilizer program in order to reach optimal yield and quality.
