Valeria Lepe: “Each barracks has its own needs, especially in a context of tighter budgets.”

The plant nutrition consultant participated in CherryTech 2025, as a member of the forum where the use and impact of calcium in cherry cultivation was discussed.

The agricultural engineer and academic mentioned that since calcium is such an important mineral for the quality of this fruit, it is necessary to balance this component, along with potassium, magnesium, and sodium, in soil analysis to achieve balanced management.

In addition, he recommended that calcium be used as a base sum for at least 75% of the calculation, emphasizing that knowledge of the districts is vital to determining where to perform certain operations.
