POC Stimulates Off-Season Mango Flowering: Field Trial Results of Flower & Fruit Trigger Formula

Mango farmers in Indonesia often face challenges in stimulating flowering off-season to get higher selling prices. The right liquid organic fertilizer (POC) can be a solution. Biosolution presents the Flower & Fruit Trigger POC Formula, an organic product specially formulated to stimulate off-season mango flowering. This article discusses the field trial results of this product on mango plantations in East Java, complete with its mechanism of action and application guidelines.

Why is POC that Stimulates Off-Season Mango Flowering Important?

Off-season mangoes have the potential for profits 2-3 times higher than normal season. However, off-season flowering is often not simultaneous and prone to failure. Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and nutrient availability greatly influence flower initiation. This is where the role of POC containing natural growth regulators and micronutrients becomes crucial.

Biosolution's Flower & Fruit Trigger POC Formula contains:

• PGPR consortium (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria) that produces hormones such as cytokinins and gibberellins, and increases micronutrient availability.
• Seaweed extract rich in natural cytokinins and essential micronutrients (Zn, Cu, Fe).
• Humic and fulvic acids act as nutrient carriers and root stimulants, making nutrient absorption more efficient.

These three components work synergistically to trigger the generative phase simultaneously, reduce flower/fruit drop, and improve harvest quality.

Field Trial Results: Increased Weight and Reduced Drop

The field trial was conducted from August to November 2024 on the land of Biosolution partner farmers in Pasuruan Regency, East Java. The mango varieties used were Gadung 21 and Arumanis, each with 50 trees aged 5-7 years. Treatment: spraying Flower & Fruit Trigger POC Formula at a dose of 4 ml/L water every 10 days from the emergence of generative shoots until the fruit reached walnut size. Commercial foliar fertilizer was used as a control.

Main Results:

The data shows an increase in yield weight per tree of 15-25% (average 22%) and a reduction in flower/fruit drop of up to 30%. This aligns with the product claim that easy foliar application provides tangible results.

Mechanism of Action in the Field

The PGPR consortium in the product produces cytokinin hormones that stimulate cell division in flower meristems. Meanwhile, seaweed extract provides natural cytokinins (zeatin) that stimulate simultaneous flower initiation. Humic acid increases the soil's cation exchange capacity, making micronutrients like Zn and B more available – two key elements in pollen formation and flower viability.

Farmers also reported that the resulting fruit had brighter color and longer shelf life (7-10 days longer than control). This is because natural antioxidants from seaweed extract and PGPR strengthen fruit cell walls.

Proper POC Application for Maximum Results

For the POC that stimulates off-season mango flowering to work optimally, follow these guidelines:

Dosage and Timing

• Dosage: 3–5 ml per liter of water (for spray or drench).
• Frequency: Every 7–10 days, starting when the plant enters the generative phase (flower buds appear).
• Application time: Morning before 10:00 AM local time to avoid evaporation and sun scorch.

Application Method

1. Foliar spray: Spray evenly over the entire leaf surface, especially the underside where stomata are open.
2. Drench: Pour the solution onto the root zone (1-2 liters per tree) to support nutrient absorption.

Additional Tips

• Combine with adequate irrigation (not waterlogged).
• Avoid application together with harsh chemical pesticides; allow a 2-3 day interval.
• For optimal results, perform light pruning and balanced NPK base fertilization.

Farmer Testimonials: Earlier and More Uniform Harvest

Mr. Suyanto, a mango farmer in Pasuruan, expressed satisfaction with the trial results. "After using the Flower & Fruit Trigger POC Formula, my mango trees flowered more uniformly. Usually only 30% of trees flower off-season, now almost 70%. Harvest came 2 weeks earlier than usual schedule."

Mrs. Siti, a farmer from Probolinggo, added, "The fruit is bigger and doesn't drop easily. I can now harvest 3 times a year."

These testimonials reflect that the product works effectively in the field, not just in laboratory claims.

Advantages of Flower & Fruit Trigger POC Formula Compared to Other Products

The main advantage is its organic and environmentally friendly nature, making it safe for organic certification and not damaging the soil ecosystem.
