Macro and micro element requirements of young and bearing apple trees under drip fertigation

Regulation of Yield, Fruit Size, and Leaf Mineral Nutrients of the ‘Šumadinka’ Sour Cherry Cultivar with Help of Rootstocks

“…In the present work, it showed the lowest uptake capacity for K, Mg, Fe, and Cu, although 'Šumadinka' showed positive cropping results on this rootstock, satisfying health and good tree growth until now (data not shown). Probably, external factors such as leaching, nutrient buffer capacity, temperature, and soil moisture or oxygen content may affect the ability of Krymsk 6 roots to take up nutrients from the soil and disturb the content of leaf mineral elements, as reported in other works (Kangueehi et al 2011). Similarly, Archibald and Cline (1962) earlier found that sour cherry trees grown on soils maintained under sod contained more K in their leaves than those from clean cultivated soil.…”

Ripening season affects tissue mineral concentration and nutrient partitioning in peach trees

“…Annual nutrient removal and orchard nutrient requirements based on replenishing the nutrients removed from the tree have been estimated for different fruit tree species [orange ( Roccuzzo et al, ), apple ( Cheng and Raba , ; Kangueehi et al, ), olive ( Fernández‐Escobar et al, ), kiwifruit ( Boyd et al, ), and peach trees ( El‐Jendoubi et al., )]. Some of these studies estimated tree nutrient requirements in more than one cultivar but nutritional demands of fruit trees based on their ripening seasons have never been studied.…”
