The best raspberry performance

Mivena develops specialised fertilization programmes for raspberries, both in field-grown and substrate cultivation. No generic formulas, but targeted solutions that match your growing system.

We recommend a combination of basic fertilization with Field-Cote CRF and fertigation with Granusol WSF and Granufert WSF. This approach ensures a balanced and continuous nutrient supply, supporting vigorous growth and consistent crop development.

Using Field-Cote CRF for controlled nutrient release, combined with the fast availability of Granusol WSF and Granufert WSF through fertigation, guarantees maximum performance and crop health for your raspberry production.

For tailored fertilizer advice, please contact your local Mivena dealer or distributor.

Step 1

Which growing system do you use?

Select your system to see the fertilization programme that matches your situation.

Field-grown

Open field or plastic mulch. Field-Cote CRF as base at planting, steered weekly by Granusol WSF fertigation.

Substrate

Peat, Coco, rockwool or perlite. Horti-Cote Plus CRF Toptress, steered via 1- or 2-tank Granusol WSF drip.

Step 2

Fertilization programme per growth stage

Based on Mivena’s official raspberry programmes. CRF provides stable base nutrition; Granusol WSF enables precise weekly steering.

Growth stage	Nutritional need	Recommended product	Target
🌱 Start growing / planting period	Stable base nutrition to support early root activity, plant establishment and a strong start to the season	Field-Cote CRF 4M 17+7+11+7MgO+TE 200–250 kg/ha Granufert WSF 16+6+16+3MgO+6CaO+TE (N:K 1:1) 20–40 kg/ha/week	Provides a controlled nutritional base and supports uniform plant establishment at the start of the crop cycle
🌿 Building the plant	Balanced vegetative growth with focus on plant structure, root development and steady nutrient uptake	Granufert WSF 16+6+16+3MgO+6CaO+TE (N:K 1:1) 40–60 kg/ha/week	Supports strong plant development and builds the foundation for a productive flowering and fruiting phase
🌸 Flowering	Consistent nutrient availability to support flowering, plant balance and the transition into fruit production	Granufert WSF 13+6+24+3MgO+6CaO+TE (N:K 1:2) 60–80 kg/ha/week Granusol WSF Micro High MgO 1–2 kg/ha/week Don’t mix with Calcium products	Maintains crop balance during flowering and supports efficient nutrient uptake and flower quality
🍓 Fruit setting	Higher potassium input to support fruit set, fruit development and overall crop strength	Granufert WSF 13+6+24+3MgO+6CaO+TE (N:K 1:2) 60–100 kg/ha/week Granusol WSF Micro High MgO 1–2 kg/ha/week Don’t mix with Calcium products	Supports fruit set, crop energy and uniform raspberry development during the early production phase
🧺 Harvest period	High potassium demand for fruit quality, colour, firmness and continued production performance	Granufert WSF 6+8+30+2MgO+TE (N:K 1:3) 60–100 kg/ha/week Granusol WSF Micro High MgO 1–2 kg/ha/week Don’t mix with Calcium products	Promotes fruit quality, firmness and consistent harvest performance throughout the picking period

Growth stage	Nutritional need	Recommended product	Target
🌱 Start growing / planting period	Stable base nutrition in the substrate to support early root activity, plant establishment and a balanced start	Horti-Cote Plus CRF 4–6M 16+6+11+2MgO+TE 1–2 kg / m³ Granusol WSF Green (N:K 1:1) 20–40 kg/ha/week *drip EC mS/cm 0.8	Provides a controlled nutritional base in the substrate and supports uniform plant establishment in the first stage
🌿 Building the plant	Balanced vegetative development with focus on steady growth, root activity and efficient nutrient uptake	Granusol WSF Green (N:K 1:1) 60–80 kg/ha/week *drip EC mS/cm 1.6	Supports strong plant development and creates the right foundation for flowering and fruit production
🌸 Flowering	Consistent nutrient availability with increased potassium to support flowering, plant balance and fruit initiation	Granusol WSF Green → Red (N:K 1:2) 80–100 kg/ha/week drip EC mS/cm 1.6–1.8 Granusol WSF Micro High MgO* 1–2 kg/ha/week	Maintains crop balance during flowering and supports a smooth transition into fruit setting
🍓 Fruit setting	Higher potassium input to support fruit set, fruit sizing and overall crop strength during early production	Granusol WSF Green → Red (N:K 1:2) 100–120 kg/ha/week drip EC mS/cm 1.8 Granusol WSF Micro High MgO* 1–2 kg/ha/week	Supports fruit set, plant energy and uniform raspberry development during the main production phase
🧺 Harvest period	High potassium demand for fruit quality, colour, firmness and continued harvest performance	Granusol WSF Red → Blue (N:K 2/3) 100–120 kg/ha/week drip EC mS/cm 1.8 Granusol WSF Micro High MgO* 1–2 kg/ha/week	Promotes fruit quality, firmness and consistent production performance throughout the harvest period
