e0“First-year shoot growth, the number of blossoms in the second year (inmost orchards), and first-year trunk cross-sectional area increment (TCAI) in 50% of test orchards were increased by monoammonium phosphate (MAP) fertilizer+ peat, MAP+ mancozeb, or MAP + peat + a bacterial antagonist.”

- Intervention effect MAP combinations increased second-year blossoms in most orchards.
- Intervention effect MAP combinations increased first-year trunk area increment in half the orchards.
- Intervention effect Treatments generally did not affect apple trunk area increment by year three.
- Intervention effect Treatments increased third-season blossoms in two of seven orchards that blossomed in the second season.
- Intervention effect Three-year cumulative yield increased significantly in only three orchards.
- Observation MAP plus peat recovered treatment cost in only one orchard.
- Mechanism Inadequate K or Cu nutrition may have reduced apple growth in some orchards.
- Observation Orchard yields varied widely independently of planting-hole treatment.
