Rootstock and Nutrient Imbalance Leads to ‘‘Green Spot’’ Development in ‘WA 38’ Apples

Abstract: ‘WA 38’ is a new apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) cultivar, released by Washington State University (WSU) in 2017. An unknown disorder, ‘‘green spot’’ (GS), dark green halos in the epidermis, with necrotic, corky, and oxidated cortical tissue underneath the damaged epidermis, leads to unmarketable fruit and has become a threat to the adoption and profitability of ‘WA 38’, with young and mature orchards exhibiting up to 60% incidence in 2020. Given the apparent susceptibility of ‘WA 38’ to GS, this research inves… Show more

“…Symptoms of GS emerge approximately three months after full bloom and worsen until harvest. Unlike other cork-like physiological disorders such as bitter pit and Jonathan spot [4,6], GS symptoms on 'WA 38' apples seem to develop exclusively preharvest; worsening of severity during storage has not been observed [46].…”

“…In the second year, we also evaluated whether the application of Parka ® [48], a phospholipid-and polysaccharide-based coating designed to promote plant cuticle health, would alter GS incidence or severity in 'WA 38'. Additionally, to further supplement the previous work of Sallato et al [46], we investigated the effect of rootstock selection and the role of mineral composition of peel on GS in 'WA 38' apples.…”
