- Intervention effect Yardwaste compost had greatest soil extractable K.
- Intervention effect Full-rate compost increased soil extractable Mg.
- Intervention effect Full-rate compost increased soil extractable Mn.
- Intervention effect Compost increased soil extractable Ca and B.
- Intervention effect Compost raised soil organic matter and carbon by year three.
- Observation Potentially mineralizable N and microbial biomass were similar among treatments.
- Intervention effect Fertigation performed similarly to granular calcium nitrate.
- Observation Soil differences did not increase tree size.
- Observation Soil differences did not increase leaf N content.
- Recommendation Fertilization of fine-textured high-OM soil may not improve early apple growth or productivity.
