Fraiburgo orchards enter flowering stage for upcoming harvest

Orchards in Fraiburgo, Santa Catarina, have begun flowering with peaches, plums, and nectarines, signaling potential for the upcoming harvest. The blooming period is a critical indicator for producers regarding fruit quantity, though final yields remain dependent on plant management and weather conditions, particularly rainfall levels.

Local producers utilize various techniques to support crop development, including disease prevention, pruning, and the use of anti-hail netting to protect plants from extreme weather. Researchers from Epagri note that while a strong flowering period increases expectations, successful production requires consistent care throughout the plant cycle.
