Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertigation increased extractable soil phosphorus near drippers.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertigation raised cumulative yield by 20% over five fruiting seasons.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus application did not affect fruit size, soluble solids, titratable acidity, or red coloration.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus treatment reduced water core incidence at harvest.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus treatment increased resistance to browning in harvested fruit in some years.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus treatment elevated antioxidant content of harvested fruit in some years.
- Recommendation The authors recommend annual bloom applications of 20 g phosphorus as ammonium polyphosphate for adequately fertigated apples.
- Association Best apple performance was associated with leaf phosphorus above 2.2 mg per gram dry weight.
- Association Best apple performance was associated with fruit phosphorus between 100 and 120 mg per kilogram dry weight.
