Organic fertilization for almond
Almond is an emblematic Mediterranean crop, especially sensitive to water stress and late frosts. A well-designed organic fertilization program should prioritize fruit set with biostimulants at pre-bloom, calcium supply during shell hardening and fruit bulking with potassium in the final phase.
Recommended products for almond
Fertilizers and biostimulants certified CE 2018/848 + NOP USDA.

FAQs about almond fertilization
Why is fruit set so important in almond?
+
Almond blooms very early in the year (January-March depending on variety and location), exposing it to late frosts and cold conditions that limit pollinating bee activity. Fruit set is the most critical moment of the cycle. Applying Ecoganic BOOST UNIVERSAL or UNIVERSAL POWER at pre-bloom and full bloom significantly improves the percentage of set fruit.
How does water stress affect almond production?
+
Almond is drought-tolerant but very sensitive to water stress at specific moments: during fruit set, shell hardening and kernel filling. During these critical periods, Ecoganic unicellular algae biostimulants reduce the impact of water stress by improving water use efficiency.
Which Ecoganic products are suitable for certified organic almond?
+
All products in the Ecoganic range are certified CE 2018/848, NOP USDA and JAS. For certified organic almond, the complete program (BOOST UNIVERSAL + CALCIUM 40 + K-FLOW 20 + NITROTECH) can be used in operations under any recognized organic certification scheme in Spain and Europe.
