e0“red fruit color of ‘Delicious’ apples”
e1“Improved fruit quality including fruit firmness, red fruit color of ‘Delicious’ apples, and a lower incidence of fruit disorders of apples (bitter pit) and pears (alfalfa greening and cork spot) was frequently associated with trees that were fertilized with calcium nitrate [Ca(NO3)2] (CN).”

- Intervention effect Moderate MAP rates increased leaf phosphorus in apple and pear trees in low-P soils.
- Intervention effect Moderate MAP rates improved apple and pear yield 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 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.
