Given the lack of rain, it’s enormously important to reemphasize the importance of POST-HARVEST applications. Post-harvest can account for 30% of the plant’s total nutrient uptake for an entire season. Dormancy is similar to a period of suspended animation — yet during this time proteins are broken down and re-made and cell membranes are created. It’s part survival mechanism, part housekeeping exercise, all meant to help plants gear up for warmer days ahead. Feeding them during this period will pay dividends in the spring and the following crop season.
