Abstract
Abstract Incorporating high Ca lime with the soil in the planting hole for trees of ‘Sturdeespur Delicious’ apple ( Malus domestica Borkh.) on Malling-Merton 106 rootstock increased leaf Ca for the first 2 years. Annual soil applications of NH 4 NO 3 for 8 years, in comparison to applications of KNO 3 or Ca (NO 3 ) 2 , increased acidity of soil to depths of 50 to 61 cm. Soil Ca levels were reduced by NH 4 NO 3 but were not increased by Ca (NO 3 ) 2 . The trees were fertilized either 1 month prior to bloom or at bloom. Time of application or N source had no appreciable influence on tree growth, leaf nutrition, yield, fruit Ca levels, bitter pit and cork spot, or internal breakdown after storage.
