Nutritional Needs and their Supply Improvement for Cherries Project leader Ilze Vircava Team of project Ieva Erdberga Ginta Helmane Duration 2019 - 2022 Research focus 4. Development and adaptation of technologies for obtaining high-value agricultural and forest products, as well as in veterinary medicine Source of funding National grant Project partners Institute of HorticultureFarm "Tauriņi"Farm "Vārkļi"Farm "Kalna Rūdupes"Farm "Pļavnieki" Description of project The aim of research To determine the nutrient requirements of cherries and optimize their supply using various fertilizers and application methods. The tasks of project: To determine the nutrient uptake of cherries when growing them on different rootstocksTo evaluate fertilization technologies for growing cherries in soils with low plant-available phosphorus and potassium content Results Soil analyses for determining agrochemical properties should be carried out according to the relief - in the lower, middle and upper parts of the slope. Soil fertilization and improvement measures should be carried out according to the actual situation, including taking into account the characteristics of soils in hilly areas.
