“…This cultivar differed in fruit yield per tree from 'Gala Schniga'. The 'Topaz' variety was characterised by an average fruit yield, which was better than that obtained by other researchers [32] when using standard NPK soil fertilisation (9.79 kg). Sturm [33] studied the yield of five different mutants of the 'Gala' variety, among them 'Gala Schniga', which in the same year of cultivation (third year), gave a fruit yield 1/3 lower (6.8 kg).…”

The technology of producing fruits containing an increased amount of elements essential for the health of the human body, including silicon, has become very important in recent years. Due to the popularity of apple tree cultivation in Europe, appropriate research has been undertaken. The aim of the experiment was to determine the advisability of foliar silicon nutrition in apple tree cultivation. Apple cultivars ‘Gala Schniga’, ‘Ligol’ and ‘Topaz’ were studied and treated with three different doses of silicon (100, 200, 300 mg·L−1). The treatments were performed five times during tree growth in the third year of cultivation from early June to late July. Foliar application of silicon did not improve the evaluated tree growth parameters. It significantly influenced, in the highest analysed concentration, a better fruit yield (12%), a higher yield coefficient, depending on the concentration, from 16 to 18%, a better fruit quality (weight and size) and a more extensive red blush. The considered cultivars differed in the growth and yield of trees in the third year of cultivation. ‘Topaz’ grew strongest and ‘Ligol’ yielded the best. The highest yield coefficient was found for the Topaz’ cultivar. The fruit of ‘Topaz’ had the biggest blush and ‘Gala Schniga’ the biggest sugar content. Macro- and micro-nutrient nutritional status of trees were no better, except for iron and copper in leaves, and at some concentrations of applied silicon also zinc and copper in fruit.

“…Debreceni Bötermö. Mosa et al (2016) reported that the tree trunk cross-sectional area of 'Topaz' apple trees was increased with Vinassa, Florovit Natura and Florovit Eko combined with Pantoea spp., Pseudomonas fluorescens, Kleb- Obtained results in our experiment showed also that fruit yield expressed as the number of fruits and fruit weight was greatly increased by the addition of bacteria to Fertigo (Manure), Humus UP, Humus Active + Aktywit PM, Biofeed Amin and Yeast as compared to NPK and this may be because these treatments increased the amounts of N, K, Mg, and Ca, in the roots. Moreover, these results are in accordance with the findings of Abdel-Nasser and Harhash (2002).…”

Apple trees which grafted on M.M. 106 stocks were planted at the beginning of spring 2014 in pots at the Research Institute of Horticulture in Skierniewice, Poland. The used treatments in the experiment were: NPK fertilization and bioproducts: Fertigo (Manure), Micosat, Humus UP, Humus Active + Aktywit PM, BioFeed Quality, BioFeed Amin, Vinassa, Florovit Natura and Florovit Eko. In the spring, these treatments were applied to apple trees alone or enriched with Pantoea sp., Pseudomonas fluorescens, Klebsiella oxytoca and Rhizobium sp. bacterial strains. Growth, yield and fruit quality parameters were evaluated. The results revealed that photosynthetic rate was greatly improved by the addition of bacteria to Fertigo (Manure), Micosat, Humus UP and Humus Active + Aktywit PM as compared to NPK. Tree trunk thickness was significantly enhanced with Vinassa, Florovit Natura and Florovit Eko enriched with bacteria. The application of bacterial strains increased the effectiveness of Fertigo (Manure), Humus UP, Humus Active + Aktywit PM, Biofeed Amin and Yeast in increasing significantly number and weight of fruits as compared to NPK.

“…Other authors have also not observed any significant effect of this biostimulant on the growth of plants [7,36]. However, a biostimulant with a similar composition as Aminoplant (BioFeed Amin) improved the growth of maiden sour cherry trees [26] as well as the growth of apple trees in an orchard [27,37]. According to Walch-Lui et al [38], the foliar application of plant amino acids results in the formation of root branches.…”

An experiment was conducted to compare the effect of applying half a dose of a mineral fertiliser combined with a foliar treatment with four biostimulants and two fertilisers in relation to a full dose of a mineral fertiliser. The M.9 rootstock stoolings were sprayed four times during their growth. Each year of the experiment, the height, the diameter, the fresh weight of leaves and the leaf surface area of all stoolings were measured. The efficiency of rootstocks from one mother plant was assessed. Some parameters of physiological processes as well as the content of micro- and macronutrients in the leaves were also assessed. The research results showed that the reduced dose of the mineral fertiliser with foliar treatment did not significantly decrease the growth parameters of the M.9 rootstock stoolings. Some foliar treatments, especially Bioamino Plant and Bispeed, resulted in higher fresh weight and larger leaf area of the stoolings. The treatment with the Bioamino Plant biostimulant and two foliar fertilisers resulted in parameters of the physiological processes of stoolings that were the same as or better than those in the control plants. After the foliar application of two fertilisers, the content of macronutrients in the leaves of the stoolings was usually the same as in the control. The treatment with the biostimulants resulted in a lower content of most macronutrients in the plants (N, K and Ca). The only exception was the higher magnesium content than in the control after the treatment with all biostimulants and the same phosphorus content after the treatment with most of the biostimulants. The Aminoplant and Bispeed biostimulants increased the accumulation of iron in the leaves, whereas the Basfoliar 6-12-6 fertiliser resulted in higher zinc and copper content than in the control plants.
