Abstract
In April, 1990, `Smoothee Golden Delicious' trees on Mark rootstock were planted in a high density orchard, 1.5m × 3.0m = 2152 trees/ha (5′×10′ = 871 t/a), in an old apple orchard site. Soil treatments of preplant fumigation (F) with methylbromide, fumigation plus postplant Ridomil (F+R) in spring and fall and monoammonium phosphate (MAP) incorporated into the tree hole were included to evaluate their influence on tree vigor. In 1992, slender spindle (SS) training increased third season yield by +79% over HYTEC training; supplemental summer irrigation (Irr.) +4%, F +6%, F+R +20 and MAP -17% over no soil treatment. The HYTEC trained trees with no irrigation or soil treatment might roughly compare to a “check” or a typical grower technique, this treatment yielded 13,364 kg/ha (284 bu/a). Looking at some other selected treatments; SS w/no irr. or soil trt. increased yield by +27% over the HYTEC (check) trt.; SS+F = +63%, SS+Irr. = +107%, SS+Irr.+F = +112% and SS+Irr.+ F+R = +169% or 35,902 kg/ha (763 bu/a).
