Solutions for Durian Care During the Fruit Development Stage To Meet Export Quality Standards From Baconco

The durian fruit development stage plays a crucial role in determining crop yield and quality. Farmers should focus on providing sufficient and balanced nutrients to ensure well-rounded fruit growth, enhance commercial value, and meet export standards.

Why focus on nutrition instead of growth-stimulating products?

"Durian fruit-shaping stimulants" usually only affect the external appearance without improving internal fruit quality. Moreover, overusing growth stimulants can negatively impact consumer health and the environment.

On the other hand, providing balanced and sufficient nutrition, combined with proper irrigation practices, promotes comprehensive fruit development—from shape, size, and pulp quality to flavor and color. Properly nourished durian trees are healthier, more resistant to pests and diseases, and produce higher yields.

Essential nutrients for durian during the fruit development stage

The durian fruit development stage lasts from fruit set to harvest. Nutrient deficiencies can lead to misshapen or deformed fruit and even mass fruit drop.

Some essential nutrients for this stage include:

• Nitrogen (N): Important for growth and increasing fruit size. Avoid excessive nitrogen application.
• Phosphorus (P): Promotes flowering, fruit set, and root development.
• Potassium (K): Enhances disease resistance, produces larger, more uniformly shaped fruit, and thickens the pulp.
• Calcium (Ca): Strengthens fruit, reduces cracking.
• Magnesium (Mg): Vital for photosynthesis and improving fruit color.
• Micronutrients (S, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, B, Mo): Essential for overall plant development.

Heavy rainfall during the durian growth phase can hinder pollination, causing uneven, deformed, or misshapen fruit, which significantly reduces market value.

Baconco introduces a premium foliar fertilizer series imported from France to help durian fruit develop uniformly and meet export standards:

CON CO COFOLI CALIMAG Foliar Fertilizer

Enriched with Calcium and easily absorbable organic Nitrogen, this fertilizer helps fruit become firm, well-shaped, and less prone to deformation, hollowness, or cracking.

Application (for fruit trees):

• Spray from fruit formation until one week before harvest.
• Reapply every 10–15 days.
• Dosage: 30–60 ml per 20 liters of water; 40–80 ml per 25 liters of water; 300–600 ml per 200-liter barrel.

CON CO COFOLI MAX36 Foliar Fertilizer

CON CO COFOLI MAX36 foliar fertilizer provides a full range of macro, secondary, and micronutrients, supporting comprehensive durian fruit development, increasing size and quality.

The product is free from chlorine, sulfate salts, and sodium, making it very safe for plants, preventing leaf burn, promoting quick recovery, enhancing flowering and fruit set, and improving resistance to drought, salinity, and pests.

Application (for fruit trees):

• Spray regularly: Spray COFOLI MAX36 throughout the growth and development stages of durian trees, especially during fruit set, fruit development, and pre-harvest periods.
• Dosage: Use 30–60 ml of COFOLI MAX36 per 20 liters of water; 40–80 ml per 25 liters of water; or 300–600 ml per 200-liter barrel.
• The dosage can be adjusted from 500–1000 ml/ha depending on tree age and growth condition.

CON CO COFOLI AMINO foliar fertilizer

Contains seaweed extracts, herbal amino acids, and polysaccharides, which penetrate the leaf epidermis effectively and translocate quickly, delivering nutrients rapidly to cells. The product provides essential amino acids, stimulates rapid fruit development, and reduces nutrient shock.

Usage (for flowers, fruit trees, rice, industrial crops, pepper, coffee, and vegetables):

• Dosage: 30–60 ml per 20-liter sprayer; 40–80 ml per 25-liter sprayer; 300–600 ml per 200-liter barrel.
• Spraying stages:
  • Spray before and after flowering, during fruit development, and when fruits are maturing.
  • Spray after drought, salinity exposure, or waterlogging.

To achieve the best yield and quality for durian, applying a scientific care process is extremely important. In addition to providing adequate nutrition with the COFOLI foliar fertilizer series from Baconco, farmers should also focus on combining other cultivation measures such as proper irrigation and timely pest control. Wishing farmers a bountiful harvest!
