Nut trees
Nut crops include almond, pistachio, walnut, and hazelnut, cultivated for edible kernels. They are widely grown in Mediterranean and continental regions and have expanded due to high market demand.

Almond trees are demanding when it comes to soil management and nutritional planning, especially under rainfed conditions or in farms with water limitations. Their productive behaviour largely depends on having an active, well-structured soil with good exchange capacity, able to sustain root activity throughout the entire cycle. A well-designed fertilization strategy is not only about replenishing nutrients, but about fostering an environment that stimulates budbreak, evens out flowering, supports fruit set and maintains the crop load without compromising the tree’s reserves. Proper fertilization management —both as base dressing and complementary applications— helps improve production regularity, water-use efficiency and the final quality of the fruit, particularly in areas with climatic stress or poor soils. > Learn about Agricotec fertilizers recommended for almond tree. |

Pistachio fertilization needs a balanced, long-term approach. It is a slow-developing crop with deep roots and high sensitivity to excess nitrogen. It primarily demands potassium and phosphorus to support productivity and nut quality, while nitrogen must be carefully managed to avoid excessive shoot growth and alternation. Frequent establishment on dryland, low-organic-matter soils calls for fertilizers that improve soil structure, biological activity and real nutrient availability. > Learn about Agricotec fertilizers recommended for pistachio. |
