What is the recommended liquid fertilizer for fruit development? I know it needs to contain higher P and K amounts but is N also needed during the fruiting stage?

What is the recommended application rate for foliar spraying?

without knowing what the major/minor nutrient levels are in your soil how can you really tell whats needed?

we use a granular form of 0-0-50 in small quantities in with our myco/root shield products when vine burying.
( approx--5 parts myco/4 parts rootshield/1 part 0-0-50.

you must be carefull not to over do the potash products as they will force the fruit to abort and or stop growing early. ( another reason why i dont believe in using wood ashes in the soil )did it once many years ago----will never do it again

Pap....I am trying to follow the Holland's fertilizer schedule so I just purchased Nuti Aid 0-52-34 Blossom Booster and Fruit Finisher.

Their fertilizer schedule for late June through August calls for weekly applications of sea weed powder, Nutri Aid, and Biomin Calcium.

But it doesn't state the application amount.....I'm guessing foliar over the plants and that's all.
