Poly-Cacao™ nutritional program considers the specific needs of the cacao
Time of application: “Young fruits grow slowly during first 40 days after pollination and are prone to wilting (average loss about 50 %); subsequent growth is more rapid up to 75 days; full maturity is reached in 150-180 days depending on climate”. (source: IFA)”.
