Persimmon
Persimmon (Diospyros kaki) is a fruit crop appreciated for its fruits rich in sugars, vitamins, and antioxidants. Grown in temperate climates, it requires moderately cold winters for good flower induction and stable spring conditions to support flowering and fruit set. Its abundant flowering may be parthenocarpic or fertilized depending on the variety.
Balanced nutrition—especially potassium, calcium, and microelements such as boron and zinc—together with careful management of irrigation, pruning, and fruit thinning promotes regular production and high-quality fruits with juicy flesh and good storability.
Flowering and fruit set for persimmon
In persimmon, the flowering and fruit set phases are crucial for productive success. Abundant, vital, and well-synchronized flowering is essential for achieving uniform and high-quality fruiting. However, during this period, the plant may face environmental stresses such as temperature fluctuations, dry winds, or nutritional deficiencies, which compromise flower fertility and pollen functionality.
In this context, the use of FOLICIST® provides valid support for the plant. Thanks to its biostimulant and anti-stress action, FOLICIST® protects floral tissues, improves pollen vitality, and promotes optimal hormonal balance.

Fruit sizing for persimmon
The fruit sizing phase is crucial for defining persimmon size, firmness, and commercial quality. During this stage, the plant needs adequate energy and nutrient reserves to sustain rapid cell division and expansion, but may be stressed by environmental factors, heavy crop load, or nutritional imbalances, which limit fruit growth potential.
The use of RIZAMMINA® 42 is particularly suitable for supporting this phase, thanks to its targeted physiological action that stimulates metabolic processes involved in fruit development, improving nutrient absorption and translocation efficiency.

Fruit drop reduction for persimmon
Fruit drop in persimmon is a recurring issue that can significantly reduce production quantity and uniformity. Causes may include environmental stress, nutritional or physiological imbalances, or insufficient hormonal activity in fruit tissues, which limits the fruit’s ability to stay active and continue growing.
K-BOMBER® 56, formulated with a high potassium concentration, helps regulate vegetative development and supports fruit retention. Its application in the final stages of the cycle reduces physiological fruit drop, stabilizes crop load, and promotes a more complete fruiting process, with direct benefits on yield and final product quality.

Fruit Coloring for persimmon
As with other fruit crops, persimmon must reach adequate visual and taste quality to succeed on the market. Uniformity and intensity of color, as well as sugar content, are key factors. However, environmental stress, suboptimal light conditions, or nutritional deficiencies may compromise color development, negatively affecting appearance and market value.
SUNRED®, applied before harvest, promotes more intense and uniform fruit coloration by stimulating metabolic processes involved in anthocyanin and carotenoid synthesis. It also enhances sugar accumulation, increasing Brix and improving organoleptic characteristics. Thanks to more uniform ripening, the product helps reduce the number of harvests, optimizing time and operational costs.
