Hazelnut
Hazelnut (Corylus avellana) is a tree species belonging to the Betulaceae family, valued for its high-commercial-value nuts. It has a bush or tree-like growth habit and good productive longevity. It flowers between late winter and early spring, with pendulous male catkins and small female flowers located at shoot tips or laterally, which determine nut set. The fruits, enclosed in a leafy husk, ripen between late summer and autumn. Hazelnut prefers deep, fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic soils and temperate climates.
Flowering for hazelnuts
During hazelnut flowering, fruit set is limited by varietal self-incompatibility and the temporal mismatch between male and female flowering (dichogamy). Fertilization is not immediate because the female stigma remains receptive for a limited period, and viable pollen must coincide with that window. Selecting compatible and synchronous varieties is essential to maximize fruit set and uniformity.
The application of FOLICIST® supports cell division in floral tissues, carbohydrate mobilization toward flowers and ovules, and enzymatic activity, increasing female flower fertility and the success of fertilization, with positive effects on yield and nut quality.

Fruit Sizing for hazelnuts
During hazelnut fruit formation and growth, it is essential to ensure adequate water and nutrient supply and a balanced metabolism to support cell division and expansion. Water or nutritional stress can reduce fruit size, kernel fill, and nut quality, negatively affecting yield.
RIZAMMINA® 42 promotes cell expansion, protein synthesis, and energy metabolism in developing tissues. The product improves carbohydrate and nutrient translocation to the fruit, supporting nut fill and the accumulation of reserve substances in the seed.

Environmental stress for hazelnuts
While the plant grows and fruits, environmental stress such as temperature fluctuations, drought, and excessive solar radiation can compromise photosynthetic activity and metabolic efficiency, increase the risk of fruit drop and reducing productivity in hazelnut orchards.
FYLLOTON® supports recovery from abiotic stress by rapidly restoring metabolic balance. Its components help reduce oxidative damage to cell membranes, improving tissue stability and functionality. The application of FYLLOTON® supports vegetative growth and contributes to improved yield and quality.

Tissue Strengthening for hazelnuts
Throughout the entire growth cycle, hazelnut plants must cope with various adversities that can compromise growth, fruit quality, and overall orchard productivity.
LOKER® AID supports the plant by promoting lignification and the synthesis of structural proteins, strengthening cell walls and tissues. Copper stimulates the formation of phenolic compounds and lignin, while plant extracts and bioactive metabolites enhance antioxidant activity and cellular metabolism, promoting more balanced growth.

Post-harvest for hazelnuts
After nut drop and harvest, the hazelnut plant directs its metabolism toward replenishing energy reserves needed for vegetative regrowth the following year. Supporting residual photosynthetic activity and promoting metabolite translocation toward buds and storage organs is therefore essential.
NUTRI-GEMMA B-Zn™ nourishes the buds through its supply of boron and zinc, promoting the accumulation of reserve substances in the buds and preparing the plant for more vigorous and uniform vegetative regrowth the following spring.
