Orange
Orange (Citrus sinensis) is an evergreen species characterized by a broad canopy, shallow root system and high sensitivity to waterlogging. It flowers in spring, producing white, nectar-rich blossoms. The fruits are berries known as “hesperidia”, with an outer peel rich in essential oils. It requires temperate climates and well-drained soils to ensure regular fruit set and ripening.
Flowering and Fruit Set for Orange
For orange, flowering is a crucial phenological phase that determines the future productivity of the orchard. Flower induction and subsequent flower sprouting are influenced by climatic, nutritional factors and by the vegetative status of the tree. A proper balance between carbohydrate reserves and nutrients promotes abundant and uniform flowering. The subsequent transformation of the flower into fruit is often affected by adverse environmental factors. To support this process, it is important to stimulate hormonal activity regulating ovary growth and retention of young fruits.
To support these delicate stages, the use of FOLICIST® is recommended. It is specifically formulated to stimulate physiological activity related to flower development. Application of FOLICIST® helps improve both the quantity and the quality of flowers, ensuring optimal yield potential and greater uniformity of fruit set.

Fruit sizing for Orange
Fruit growth depends primarily on cell division and subsequent cell expansion, which occur after fruit set and are influenced by photosynthetic efficiency and the availability of nutrients and water. A good balance between vegetative growth and fruit load favors regular growth of the hesperidia, helping avoid undersized fruits.
At this stage, KRISS® in conventional farming and KRISS® BIOLOGICO in organic farming promote cell multiplication and expansion, supporting uniform pulp enlargement and achievement of appropriate fruit size. The result is a more uniform production, with firm, larger fruits characterized by high pulp quality, in line with the demands of the supply chain.

Tissues strengthening for Oranges
Strengthening plant tissues is essential to increase the resilience of the tree to environmental adversities. Copper, in addition to its traditional role in plant protection, participates in numerous enzymatic processes and contributes to structuring cell walls.
PROTAMIN® Cu 62, formulated with organically bound, readily assimilable copper, helps improve tissue firmness and enhance the plant’s natural resilience. Its use promotes greater tolerance to adverse factors and supports the development of more vigorous and productive trees.

Environmental Stress for Oranges
Citrus trees are particularly sensitive to environmental stresses such as late-season frosts, high solar radiation and elevated temperatures, which can impair photosynthesis and cause damage to leaves and fruits. Preventive management and strengthening of physiological defenses are key to reducing these risks.
FYLLOTON® helps the plant maintain metabolic balance even under adverse conditions, preserving osmotic equilibrium in tissues and supporting cellular activity. This approach improves the overall resilience of orange trees and helps safeguard both yield and fruit quality.
