Verbatim
e0“Apple (Malus domestica, Borkh) and pear (Pyrus communis, L.) trees responded to nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) fertilizers.”
e1“In low P soils, leaf, and fruit P concentrations were increased and yield was improved with moderate rates of mono‐ammonium phosphate (MAP) fertilizers.”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Moderate MAP rates increased leaf phosphorus in apple and pear trees in low-P soils.
- Association Calcium nitrate fertilization was frequently associated with firmer fruit in apple and pear.
- Association Calcium nitrate fertilization was frequently associated with improved red fruit color in Delicious apples.
- Association Calcium nitrate fertilization was frequently associated with lower bitter pit incidence in apples.
- Association Calcium nitrate fertilization was frequently associated with lower alfalfa greening and cork spot incidence in pears.
- Intervention effect N-P-K or MAP fertilizers often improved yield.
- Association Long-term N-P-K or MAP use could increase fruit disorder incidence relative to CN at equivalent nitrogen rates.
- Association Long-term N-P-K or MAP use could be associated with lower soil pH relative to CN at equivalent nitrogen rates.
