Apricot
The apricot (Prunus armeniaca) is a fruit species belonging to the Rosaceae family, widely cultivated in temperate and warm-temperate regions thanks to its early fruiting. The tree flowers very early—often already at the end of winter—and is therefore exposed to the risk of late frosts, which may compromise production.Apricot is sensitive to excessive nitrogen, which can promote vegetative growth at the expense of fruiting; for this reason, balanced nutrition—properly distributed throughout the crop cycle—and the use of biostimulants during critical phases are essential.
Flowering and Fruit Set for Apricots
Flowering and fruit set are particularly delicate phases in apricot cultivation, directly affecting both the quantity and quality of production. The species’ naturally early bloom exposes flowers to the risk of late frosts, while stress factors such as temperature fluctuations, water stress, or nutrient deficiencies can reduce flower vitality and interfere with fertilization.
FOLICIST® supports the plant during these critical phases by helping regulate osmotic and hormonal balance, improving tolerance to abiotic stress, pollen fertility, and fruit-set efficiency. Its application results in more vigorous and uniform flowering, promoting more consistent fruit set and a more stable, higher-value production.

Plant Tissues Strengthening for Apricots
During plant growth, it is essential to support the development of strong cellular structures to make tissues more resilient and less susceptible to stress factors. The development of strong, vigorous plants is the foundation for high yields and quality fruit.
PROTAMIN® Cu 62 acts by promoting tissue lignification and stimulating endogenous stress-response processes. Its copper complexed with organic components improves absorption and translocation, enhancing treatment effectiveness. The application of PROTAMIN® Cu 62 helps improve the plant’s overall resilience under difficult conditions.

Fruit Sizing for Apricots
The fruit sizing phase is crucial for determining the final quality of apricot production, particularly in terms of size, firmness, and uniformity. It is essential to provide adequate physiological and nutritional support to promote the development of well-sized, high-quality fruits.
KRISS® stimulates cell multiplication during the early stages of fruit development and enhances the plant’s metabolic efficiency, supporting increased fruit size. In organic farming, KRISS® BIOLOGICO ensures comparable high-level performance. These solutions do not alter fruit shape or quality and are particularly effective when combined with foliar calcium, contributing to improved firmness and extended shelf-life.

Environmental Stress for Apricots
Environmental stresses such as temperature fluctuations, excess water, drought, or high solar radiation are critical factors that can compromise plant development and production quality. To prevent yield losses, it is essential to adopt strategies that strengthen plant tolerance and recovery mechanisms.
FYLLOTON® acts directly on plants by stimulating root development, supporting uniform vegetative growth, and strengthening physiology during critical phases. Its application promotes robust, healthy, and homogeneous plants ready to deliver high-quality production.

Fruit Coloring for Apricots
Apricot flavor and commercial value depend heavily on sugar content (Brix level) and skin color. Intense, uniform, and bright pigmentation is not only a sign of optimal ripening but also of balanced physiological development.
SUNRED® promotes the biological processes responsible for the synthesis of anthocyanins and carotenoids, as well as the corresponding degradation of chlorophyll. When applied a few days before harvest, it enhances fruit coloration, improves sugar accumulation, and promotes more uniform ripening without affecting shelf-life.
