Enhanced Vine Strength and Fruit-Bearing Performance

Organifer Kiwi Liquid Fertiliser supports powerful growth in kiwi vines (Actinidia deliciosa and Actinidia chinensis), known for their vigorous climbing habit, heart-shaped foliage, and high fruiting potential. The balanced 2-1-8 organic formulation promotes strong cane development, healthier buds, and reliable fruiting on one-year-old wood. This ensures a stable growth rhythm throughout the season and helps maintain the structural strength required for heavy fruit production on trellises, arbors, and pergolas.

Suitable for Kiwi and Mini Kiwi

This liquid fertiliser is fully suitable for both traditional kiwi vines and mini kiwi varieties (Actinidia arguta). Mini kiwi plants produce smooth-skinned, berry-sized fruits but share the same demands for strong roots, balanced nutrition, and high potassium levels. The gentle organic formulation adapts effortlessly to both types, supporting consistent fruit formation, vigorous canopy development, and long-term perennial performance.

Improved Root Activity and Efficient Nutrient Uptake

Kiwi vines depend on a highly active root system to support their rapid vegetative growth and heavy fruit load. Organifer Kiwi Liquid Fertiliser enhances substrate life and improves nutrient mobility, while amino acids stimulate early root initiation, resulting in stronger anchorage and more efficient nutrient uptake. This supports better shoot development, improved flowering, and greater fruiting potential during the peak growing season.

Superior Fruit Quality, Firmness, and Shelf Life

High potassium availability is essential for kiwi fruit firmness, sugar accumulation, and flavour development. The organic formulation strengthens cell structure and supports optimal water balance within developing fruits. Amino acids enhance metabolic processes, contributing to uniform fruit sizing, improved skin quality, and reduced issues associated with nutrient-related fruit softness. This results in better post-harvest handling and longer storage stability.

Balanced Canopy Growth and Improved Airflow

Vigorous vines require balanced nutrition to prevent excessive leafy growth that can shade developing fruits. The 2-1-8 formulation maintains a controlled growth pattern that supports productive canes while preventing overly soft, nitrogen-driven growth. This leads to improved canopy structure, stronger fruit-bearing shoots, and better airflow through the foliage essential for reducing disease pressure in dense vine systems.

Dosage

Number of applications: 3–6
Start: At early growth
Repeat: Every 2–4 weeks
Foliar spraying: 3–9 ml per 1 litre of water
Fertigation: 1–2 ml per 1 litre of water
Standard dose: 5–9 L per ha

Maintain steady irrigation, as kiwi vines are sensitive to drought stress. Provide adequate calcium and magnesium to support fruit firmness and structural integrity. Support vines with strong trellising to handle the weight of fruit clusters. Avoid excessive nitrogen to reduce soft, overstretched growth. Maintain good airflow through the canopy to limit disease risk and improve fruit quality.

Storage

When stored under stable, frost-free conditions and protected from direct sunlight, this liquid fertiliser maintains its quality for an extended period. Closed containers preserve the formulation effectively, while any diluted solution should be used promptly to ensure optimal performance and purity.
