Abstract
Abstract The effects of 4 late‐season dilute tree sprays (3741 liters/ha) containing Ca and B on corking severity and nutrition of ‘Yorking’ apples was studied in 1972. Corking severity was observed after slicing the fruit and is expressed as the mean number of cork spots per fruit. Non‐treated fruits had 4.6 spots, 410 pg/g of peel Ca, 110 ug/g of flesh Ca, 31 jig/g of peel B and 10 jig/g of flesh B. Four sprays of CaCl2‐2H2O that applied a total of 55 kg/ha, reduced the spots to 1.4, raised peel Ca to 570 ug/g and flesh Ca to 130 ug/g. Four sprays of Solubor that applied 3.7 kg/ha of B reduced the spots to 2.4 and raised peel B to 138 μg/g and flesh B to 65 μg/g. Calcium nitrate sprays of 80.7 kg/ha Ca(NO3)2’4H2O increased fruit Ca to 520 μg/g (peel), 120 μg/g (flesh), but increased spots to 7.9. The 1973 study conducted on ‘York Imperial’ apples involved the application of 374 liters/ha of spray in each of 8 alternate row‐middle applications. Non‐treated fruits had 2.6 spots, 370 μg/g of peel Ca, 100 μ...
