Analysis of Petiole Sap Nutrients Using Rapid and Standard Methods and Its Rela...
Mota, Mariana; Martins, M.; Sprey, Layanne; Maurício, Anabela; Rosa, Cristina; Faria, João; Martins, Miguel; Sousa, Miguel L. de; Santos, RicardoCurrently, fertilization decisions in apple orchards are based on soil and leaf analyses while the leaf material is sampled after the growing season, usually in June–July (90–110 days after full bloom). This approach is inefficient, as the information becomes available later than the growing season and is therefore only useful in supporting fertilization decisions for the next year, not the current one. To esta...
Nutrient Content with Different Fertilizer Management and Influence on Yield an...
Mota, Mariana; Martins, Maria João; Policarpo, Gonçalo; Sprey, Layanne; Pestaneira, Mafalda; Almeida, Patrícia; Maurício, Anabela; Rosa, CristinaAssessing a plant’s nutritional status and fertilizer rates and types that can optimize fruit quality and yield are critical in intensive apple orchards. The aim of this work was to identify correlations between nutrients in the different organs that allow the early diagnosis of the nutritional status and to assess the impact on the optimal nutrient content in apple leaves, as well as in the yield and quality o...
