Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Trunk growth and yield were sensitive to potassium and early-season nitrogen.
- Recommendation Annual spring potassium at 124 g per tree was required to sustain the stated crop.
- Observation Split nitrogen applications at bloom, 42 days later and autumn gave the best results.
- Recommendation At higher crop loads, 300 g potassium per tree per season may be needed.
- Recommendation Higher nitrogen rates may also be required at high crop loads.
- Association Leaf and fruit nutrient concentrations reflected high and low potassium and nitrogen rates.
