Georgian hazelnuts are very popular in the World Market due to high nutritional value of the kernel and many other factors, which is why hazelnuts are cultivated in all regions of Georgia. The number of plantations grows every year.
Unfortunately, the majority of farmers believe that production of hazelnuts requires less work and little expences, which of course, is not true. Each season management of a hazelnut plantation requires particular expences for application of mineral fertilizers, chemical treatment and other activities which is not performed nowadays because the farmers are not able to afford it.
On demonstration fields we also tested fertilizers soluble in water, defined their efficiency and worked out soil fertilization schemes for plants of different ages.
