Batallón
Blueberry variety Aurora
Mangualde, Portugal
Plants treated with BATALLÓN show a tendency to increase production especially in the first and second harvest, in addition a more balanced growth has been verified which culminated with an increase in the precocity of the production.
Additionally, the plants showed a concentrated and homogenized maturation, which implies a reduction in harvest costs since it is not necessary to pick ripe fruits within the plant, this reduces harvest times and it results in higher economic performance.
