Most orchard managers stop foliar applications after harvest. However, this is the critical point where trees start to build the buds for the following year's crop. Growers who apply foliar nutrition between harvest and leaf drop profit with more robust buds, larger sized fruit, and more fruit per tree the following year. Growers have also noted increased disease resistance in the spring when trees are fully loaded with nutrition in the fall.

By monitoring tree nutrition through sap analysis, you can ensure that the tree has optimum nutrients to grow large energy filled buds for next year's crop.
