🍎 APPLE TREES

🍎 AQUASOL AGRO for Apple Trees

Apple trees are fruit trees whose healthy development depends largely on adequate water availability during the critical periods of flowering, fruit set, and fruit enlargement.

AQUASOL AGRO helps maintain available moisture in the root zone, promoting more efficient use of irrigation water and helping reduce water stress during the driest periods of the year.

🌱 Root characteristics of apple trees
Apple trees have much more superficial roots than almond trees, and their behavior depends largely on the rootstock: dwarfing rootstocks (such as M9) have a fine, shallow root system. They are more water-demanding fruit trees and more sensitive to water stress, which directly affects fruit size.

Consequence for AQUASOL HYDRO: this root distribution makes the apple tree highly suitable for localized application of HYDRO in the shallow root zone, maximizing contact between the hydrogel and the absorbing roots, especially in dwarfing rootstocks with fine roots.

🌱 Recommended application

  • Young and mature trees.
  • New plantings.
  • Replanting.
  • All common rootstocks (seedling and clonal).
  • Sandy soils or soils with low water retention.

✅ Benefits

💧 Greater moisture retention
🚿 Irrigation optimization
🌱 Improved root development
☀️ Reduced water stress
🍎 Improved fruit size and uniformity
💰 Potential water savings

📦 Recommended dose

Young tree (0–2 years):
12 g per tree

Developing tree (2–5 years):
120 g per tree

Mature tree (+5 years):
12 g per cm of trunk

Example: 50 cm trunk = 600 g

Very dry, sandy soils or soils under severe water stress:
The dosage can be adjusted according to the plot conditions, water availability, soil texture, and irrigation system.

📋 AQUASOL AGRO recommendation
Given its shallow root distribution, incorporating AQUASOL AGRO into the near-surface root zone during planting or applying it locally around the tree is recommended.

🚜 Compatible application methods

AQUASOL AGRO can be applied manually or using agricultural machinery compatible with granular products.

Manual application:
Mix the product with the soil near the root zone during planting or around the tree.

Mechanized application:

  • 🚜 Centrifugal fertilizer spreaders.
  • 🚜 Localized fertilizer applicators.
  • 🚜 Granular fertilizer spreaders.
  • 🚜 Mechanized planting equipment.
  • 🚜 Band applicators.
🔧 Technical recommendation
Lightly incorporate the product into the soil and carry out an initial irrigation to activate its water absorption and retention capacity.

🚿 Irrigation frequency

AQUASOL AGRO helps maintain moisture for longer. Irrigation intervals should be adjusted gradually according to the soil type, tree age, climate, and irrigation system.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Is it only suitable for apple trees?
No. It can also be used on pear trees and other fruit trees with a similar root system.

Is it compatible with drip irrigation?
Yes, it is compatible with drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, and other agricultural systems.

Can it be used in intensive farming?
Yes, it can be used in both intensive and traditional farming.

Where should it be applied?
Near the shallow root zone, where the apple tree’s absorbing roots are concentrated.
