A QUALITY FRUIT
To achieve a high-quality production level and protect the variety from the bacterial attacks that are now endemic in the region, Top Gold Yellow Kiwi is cultivated under tunnel coverings with anti-rain nets. This technique shields the plants from the elements, especially wind, rain and excessive humidity. It also creates a microclimate that reduces the need for specialised treatments. Weed control is done manually rather than using chemical herbicides, and cow manure is used for fertilization, emphasizing a more natural cultivation approach. Top Gold Yellow Kiwi is an easy-to-pollinate variety, as it has both male and female flowers that bloom nearly simultaneously. Pollinating insects such as honeybees and bumblebees are attracted to both genders, facilitating natural pollination that ensures high quality and size without the need for additional interventions. Harvesting, from early October, must be done gently to avoid damaging the skin of the fruit, which is much thinner compared to other varieties of kiwis.
