Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Higher calcium nitrate doses increased soil organic carbon, cation exchange capacity, nitrogen, potassium and calcium availability.
- Observation Postharvest soil organic carbon ranged from 0.788 to 0.852%.
- Observation Postharvest cation exchange capacity ranged from 15.0 to 18.0 cmol kg-1.
- Observation Available soil nitrogen ranged from 258.5 to 268.1 kg ha-1.
- Observation Available soil phosphorus ranged from 14.78 to 16.29 kg ha-1.
- Observation Available soil potassium ranged from 303.7 to 310.7 kg ha-1.
- Observation Available soil calcium ranged from 1276.5 to 1370.3 ppm.
- Observation Soil iron ranged from 43.778 to 47.552 ppm.
- Observation Available soil zinc ranged from 1.267 to 1.183 ppm.
- Observation Available soil boron ranged from 0.895 to 1.045 ppm.
- Intervention effect The 300 gram per plant dose was superior to 200 and 100 gram per plant in both apple varieties.
- Observation Golden Delicious performed better than Red Chief Camspur, without a significant difference.
- Recommendation The authors recommend micronutrient mixtures with calcium nitrate to maintain element availability to apple plants.
