“…By adding 1 ml of 30% H2O2 and repeating the heating process for 12 minutes, samples were further digested. The containers were allowed to cool in the device for five minutes after the microwave procedure was finished before being removed [21,7]. Additionally, each vessel was weighed with an approximation of 0.1 g and the samples were chilled to room temperature.…”

Bioactive compounds are found throughout the cherry fruit and these compounds give the fruits their antimicrobial properties. The objective of this study was to determine the mineral profile of M. emarginata for four maturity stages. The mineral potassium (K), phosphorus (P), and magnesium (Mg) content was evaluated by spectrophotometry. The highest amount of K was found in the half-green (HG) stage and the lowest in the full-ripe (FR). The highest concertation of P and Mg was found in the full-green (FG) stage and the lowest in the full-ripe. For P, there was an increase from the FG to the HG maturity stage, then the concentration declined until maturity, as it related to the concentration of Mg and K, there was a decline in the concentration as the fruit progressed maturity. Additionally, the antibacterial activity of the fruit extract was conducted on E. coli and S. aureus using the Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method at different concentrations of plant extracts. The ethanolic extracts (EE) (zone of inhibition 13.4 ± 1.9 to 21.8 ± 0.6) showed more antimicrobial activity than the aqueous extract (AE) with zones of inhibition diameters (mm) which ranged from 0 ± 0 to 18.2 ± 0.8. Both AE and EE were effective against S. aureus bacteria strain except the AE (crude) which had no zone of inhibition. All tested microorganisms were susceptible to the antibiotic ciprofloxacin. This study suggests that other types of solvents were used to investigate the antibacterial activities of the M. emarginata extract on a wider array of bacteria as the fruit demonstrated antimicrobial properties.

“…The essential role of potassium in the processes of the long-distance transport of sugars and water is well known [2]. Thus, the optimization of potash nutrition leads to the increase in fruit weight and fruit size for various fruit crops such as sweet cherry [11,57], pear [29] and apple [28]. However, a positive influence of mineral fertilizer on the size and weight of fruits is unstable, whereas the effects of meteorological conditions, yield load and varietal features are more noticeable [58].…”

This research aimed to study interannual and seasonal dynamics of different potassium compounds in orchard soil and the potassium status of sour cherry trees affected by the application of nitrogen and potash fertilizers. Afield experiment was started in 2017 at an orchard located in the forest-steppe zone of the Central Russian upland. Urea and potassium sulfate were applied to the soil once a year in early spring with rates from N30K40 to N120K160 kg/ha. The content of exchangeable and water-soluble potassium compounds was determined in soil samples five times throughout the growing season from May to September 2018–2020. The content of non-exchangeable potassium was determined twice, in 2017 and 2020. The interannual and seasonal dynamics of plant-available potash in unfertilized soil depended on the weather patterns and the uptake of potassium by trees. In the unfertilized plots, the first signs of potassium nutrition insufficiency appeared, such as low leaf and fruit potassium status and a decrease in the non-exchangeable potassium reserves in the20–40 cm soil layer. The annual fertilization led to the gradual accumulation of exchangeable potassium in the root zone. The accumulation was accelerated with increasing rates. When the exchangeable potassium level in the topsoil reached 200 mg/kg, the intensification of both the seasonal fluctuations in potash content and the potash leaching into the depths of the soil occurred in all treatments. In the conditions of our experiment, one-time treatments with superfluous potassium rates (over 80 kg/ha) did not provide an enlarged stock of plant-available potash in the soil but caused unreasonable losses of it due to leaching. An increase in fertilizer rates was not essential for normal metabolic processes and did not manifest itself as an increase in potassium content in leaves and fruits or as an increase in yield.
