1. Soil improvement before planting
DCM VIVIMUS® a soil improver that has already proven its worth, increases the soil’s humus content. The added beneficial bacteria protect the weakened root system from damage by harmful soil fungi.
2. An organic fertiliser to feed
DCM VIVITREE® is an ideal organic basic fertiliser to work into the soil when planting. It is 100% organic and releases its nutrients slowly. This stimulates soil life and converts the fertiliser into nutrients that can be absorbed by the plant.
The nutrient amounts needed when planting will depend on the diameter of the trunk and the organic matter content of the soil. After planting, it is important to monitor soil moisture. Especially in spring there is a risk of water shortage. This is when the trees form their leaves, which requires a lot of water. However, the roots that can absorb the water deeply enough have not yet been formed by then. Excessive watering is also harmful. When the soil pores are completely filled with water, there is not enough oxygen for the roots, so they die.
3. Liquid organic fertiliser for extra stimulation
To further stimulate growth, DCM has developed DCM PROLICO® TREE. This liquid organic fertiliser can be given simultaneously with water. It has the ideal composition for giving trees an extra boost in the first year. It allows the roots to grow faster and explore the soil in search of water and nutrients. DCM PROLICO® TREE dissolves well in water. You can add about 100-150 cc to the water per tree. When a tree receives 50 litres of water, the dosage is 1:500.
