Cherry
The sweet cherry (Prunus avium) is a premium fruit species highly valued for the commercial and sensory quality of its drupes. Grown in temperate climates, it requires cold winters to satisfy its chilling requirement and dry, mild springs to ensure good flowering and fruit set. Flowering is early and very abundant, but it can be compromised by late frosts.Although some cultivars are self-fertile, cross-pollination remains essential to improve fruit set and achieve more abundant and uniform yields.The fruits, rich in sugars, minerals, and anthocyanins, require careful nutrition management, particularly regarding calcium, boron, and potassium—key elements for firmness, post-harvest performance, and aesthetic quality.
Dormancy Break for cherries
In cherry trees, uniform and well-distributed flowering is essential to ensure good fruit set and balanced production. However, irregular winter weather and reduced chilling hours can lead to uneven, staggered flowering, compromising both yield quality and uniformity.
To ensure uniform flowering, BLUPRINS K™ is recommended. It is designed to anticipate and synchronize flowering processes. BLUPRINS K™ stimulates metabolic reactivation, promotes regular vegetative regrowth, and improves flower quality—and therefore flower fertility.

Flowering and Fruit Set for cherries
Flowering and fruit set are decisive phases in cherry production, directly influencing yield and fruit size. In many areas, the species may face conditions that compromise flower fertility: spring frosts, sudden temperature shifts, rain during flowering, or water and nutrient deficiencies may reduce pollen vitality and impair fertilization, leading to flower drop and poor fruit set.
FOLICIST® supports cherry trees during these sensitive phases by optimizing osmotic and hormonal balance and improving tolerance to abiotic stress. The product enhances flower functionality, supports effective fertilization, and promotes regular fruit set.

Environmental Stress for cherries
The ability to withstand environmental stress is essential for balanced plant development and to preserve cherry production quality. Temperature fluctuations, water excess or deficit, dry winds, or high solar radiation can disrupt physiological balance, negatively affecting flowering, fruit set, and fruit growth.
FYLLOTON® acts directly on cherry plants by stimulating root growth, supporting uniform vegetative development, and strengthening plant physiology during critical growth phases. Its application promotes strong, healthy, uniform trees capable of delivering high-quality fruit.

Fruit Sizing for cherries
In cherry, promoting proper fruit growth is essential to achieve uniform size, high yields, and excellent organoleptic quality. After fruit set, the tree requires support for cell division and expansion in developing fruits.
KRISS® for conventional farming and KRISS® BIOLOGICO for organic farming stimulate cell multiplication in newly set fruits, promoting natural size increase without compromising shape or storability. To further enhance fruit quality, Biolchim recommends combining KRISS® with calcium-based foliar formulations.

Fruit Coloring for cherries
In cherries, intense and uniform coloration—combined with adequate Brix levels—is essential for successful commercial positioning. However, unfavorable conditions such as low temperature fluctuations, excessive shading, or vegetative–productive imbalances may limit natural pigment synthesis, compromising fruit appearance and overall quality.
To effectively stimulate pigmentation, SUNRED® is recommended. The product activates the biosynthesis of anthocyanins and carotenoids—responsible for red coloration and shine—without negatively affecting internal fruit ripening.
