Almond Tree

Pre-Bloom

Delayed dormant season or bud break is the optimal time for application to act on the undifferentiated buds and help predispose them to forming strong flowering inflorescences, while increasing and enhancing silk strength. These balanced flowering structures tend to set and hold a greater percentage of shells and carry this fruit to maturity.

Bloom

Applying CYAN365® at 50 percent bloom (wide opened flowers) to first petals fallen is ideal and shifts the tree’s carbohydrate distribution system (carbohydrate partitioning) so that the flowering fruiting structures of the tree receive more of the tree’s resources (increasing the” silk strength” of flower fruit set). During this period of shell development (stage #1), cells rapidly divide, which determines the ultimate fruit size. During this period, CYAN365® enhances this process, allowing for potentially larger shell to develop. It is well known that faster-growing fruit set produces more shells to harvest, while slower growing shells abscise early in their development.

Post-Bloom

Applying CYAN365® at post-bloom continues trends established during the two first applications. There is an increase in the amount of carbohydrate partitioned to the developing fruit along with increasing silk strength. This spray is also fundamental to ensuring good-quality shell formation. It improves the intercellular communication speed. Meanwhile, it also improves the metabolic signal quality. This increases the crop’s ability to conduct its natural growth replication process (cell division).

These effects are also responsible for developing the canopy (photosynthesis) and decreasing the early shell drop.

Formation of the shell and shell hardening

Shell hardening and earlier maturity

Improves shell formation and shell hardening and helps shells to mature earlier.
