ANNEX
The following amendment to the specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Kiwi de l’Adour’ is approved:
Method of production
Instead of ‘The application of nitrogen (in the form of soluble fertiliser) must not exceed 6 kg per tonne of fruit produced,
or an application of nitrogen per hectare limited to 200 units of nitrogen or, for the exceptional orchards referred to
previously, 250 units of nitrogen’ read ‘The application of nitrogen (in the form of soluble fertiliser) must not exceed 70
units of nitrogen per hectare per year (necessary for the growth of the plant) plus 4 units per tonne of fruit produced per
hectare per year, subject to a limit of 250 units of nitrogen per hectare per year’.
The amendment relates to developments in how the young ‘Kiwi de l’Adour’ plants are fertilised, according to the needs
of the young plants and those of the fruit. In order to give growers more flexibility in fertilising the young plants and
particularly in the light of weather conditions, the amendment made takes greater account of the division of inputs.
