Foliar fertilizers play a very important role in obtaining quality harvests and present more and more benefits that increase the resistance of plants to diseases and pests and implicitly to reduce the number of treatments with fungicides and insecticides that have a negative impact on the environment. In order to carry out the research, two lesser-known peach varieties, 'Piros Magdalenaʼ and 'Gold Dustʼ were studied. The varieties were treated with four foliar fertilizers in three different growth phenophases: the phenophase of intense shoot growth, the phenophase of fruit growth and before fruit ripening. The foliar products used were the following: Albit (organic product), Cropmax (organic product), Foliq N Universal and Solfert. Regarding the fruit mass, among the biological fertilizers, in both varieties, the best results were obtained with the Cropmax fertilizer, and among the chemical fertilizers, the best results were obtained with the Solfert fertilizer in the 'Gold Dustʼ variety, and with Foliq N Universal fertilizer in the 'Piros Magdalena' variety.
