Abstract

The experiment indicated that use of biogas slurry watering apple tree root and spraying on leaves could effectively increase the propotion of fruiting branches,improve the growth of new branches and survival of the buds,enhance the fruit-shaping index and fruit commercial ratio,and making the leaves dark green and thicker with low incidence of diseases and insect pests.
