Autumn fertilization in pear trees helps regenerate roots, activate soil life, and restore the reserves the tree will need for the next season. It is a key practice to ensure balanced sprouting and uniform flowering in spring. Protogama® is an excellent tool for this purpose due to its high content of active organic matter and its ability to improve soil structure and vitality.

In pear cultivation, autumn marks a turning point. After harvest, the tree begins an internal reorganization process: the still-active leaves continue photosynthesis, and much of the sugars and organic compounds produced are directed toward forming reserves in roots, trunks, and buds. During this stage, the root system remains active as long as soil temperatures stay above about 8 °C, allowing autumn fertilization to regenerate roots and restore nutritional balance before winter dormancy.

The goal of post-harvest fertilization is not only to replace what the tree has consumed but also to prepare the soil and the plant for the next budding phase. Applying an active organic source at this time helps keep soil microbiology alive, improves its structure and moisture retention, and allows for the gradual release of nutrients during the cold months. A well-nourished pear tree with balanced soil enters winter with greater reserves, functional roots, and higher-quality differentiated buds.

Protogama, autumn fertilization for pear trees.

Protogama®:

Protogama® is a liquid fertilizer of protein origin that provides nutritional balance and strong organic activity. It improves soil structure and vitality, stimulates microbiology, and helps pear trees recover after harvest. Its organic compounds and amino acids promote the formation of young roots, wood maturation, and a balanced transition into winter dormancy, ensuring vigorous sprouting and uniform flowering in spring.

It is recommended to apply between 40 and 60 l/ha of Protogama® in one or two irrigations before vegetative dormancy.

These recommendations are indicative and should be adjusted according to specialized technical criteria. For optimal management, consult an agronomic advisor or contact our technical department.

In pear trees, the best spring begins in the previous autumn with Protogama®.

Autumn fertilization with Protogama® does not seek an immediate response but rather to create the right conditions for a more balanced and productive spring. Each application strengthens the soil, stimulates biological activity, and helps the pear tree maintain its natural renewal capacity. In fruit growing, the best spring always begins in the previous autumn.

To maximize the efficiency of the fertilization program, it is essential to perform soil and leaf tissue analyses, adjusting doses according to crop needs. Proper irrigation management ensures optimal nutrient uptake. Foliar applications should be made during the coolest hours of the day to increase efficiency and reduce losses by evaporation.
