Studies on the soil fertility of apple orchard
Engei Gakkai zasshi, 1967 The study was conducted to find the relationship between the incidence of bitter pit and the exchangeable cations in soil of apple orchards which divided into three groups; (group A), severely affected, (group B) slightly affected, (group C) unaffected by bitter pit.

Pollination success in apples is dependent upon wild bees and orchard design
Journal of Pollination EcologyInsect pollinators are important drivers of fruit quality and yield in horticultural systems. The global reduction in wild bee populations has increased the demand for managed honeybees, despite honeybees relatively low pollination efficiency.

Estimation of Soil Evaporation in Apple Orchards Based on Hydrogen and Oxygen Isotopes
AgronomyAccurate estimation of soil evaporation and plant transpiration is crucial for the scientific and effective management of water resources in apple orchards. Using apple orchards of varying ages as research subjects, the Craig–Gordon model was employed to

Apple orchards feed honey bees during, but even more so after, bloom
Ecosphere, 2022 Many of the fruits that add diversity and nutrition to our diet are wholly or partially dependent upon flower‐visiting insects. For example, apples (Malus spp.) are self‐incompatible and therefore rely on insect pollinators for fruit development and seed

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT EU member states have exhibited varying rates of apple production growth. Technical efficiency (TE) estimation is suitable for identifying best‐practice farm performance. This study examined whether the development of the apple sector in Germany, Italy, and Poland was influenced by production efficiency, access to technology, as well as ...

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT European agriculture is increasingly exposed to economic instability driven by extreme weather events, market volatility, and geopolitical tensions. To manage these growing risks, farmers are encouraged to adopt innovative risk management strategies such as the Income Stabilization Tool (IST), which offers protection against severe income ...
