Insure Your Crop With SureSet - Apex
SureSet- Apex
SureSet—Apex is a powerful patented pollination aid that offers a key food source to help increase bee activity and helps them focus on pollination the blooms where SureSet was applied. Key nutrient ratios present in SureSet are also important for pollen tube germination to help the probability of crop set.
SureSet-Apex was developed by Dr. Tom Yamashita to assist and increase the otherwise haphazard process of almond pollination. Nothing is guaranteed, especially ideal weather and targeted activities of pollinators. This is where the use of SureSet—Apex comes in. Powering the flower to initiate the pollination process, SureSet—Apex also provides nutrients for on of agriculture’s greatest ally’s, the bees.
Pollen: Where can you find a quality source?
Controlled pollination have become an industry tool in recent years. There are many companies that offer quality pollen and application services to all crops requiring pollination. Dr. Tom made many key contact and he has come to trust the pollen services provided by:

Foliar PG-31: Meeting Your Bloom Nutritional Needs
The bloom period involves a rapid growth phase of reproductive and vegetative tissues. Thus, to avoid imperfect areas of tissue formation, it is imperative that constant supplies of calcium and boron are available to secure stabilization of membranes and cell walls. This is even more important as the spring push occurs in cool, moist weather. This is because the transpiration of blossom tissues, the sole means by which calcium and boron are moved from the soil to various canopy tissues, is minimal during this period.
To compensate for this, light concentration of a full array of balanced nutrients (not just boron or calcium) should be sprayed onto the blossoms. Foliar programs that have proven to have an impact on pollination and set always include; nitrogen, balanced carbohydrates, chelated calcium, and boron, all of which are present in our Foliar PG-31.
