Effects of crop load on tree water use in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.)
Sap flow rate measurements were carried out during two consecutive ('on' and 'off') years in an apple orchard cv. 'Florina' M.26 to analyse the effects of various crop load on tree water use.

Quality of ‘Fuji Suprema’ apples influenced by long-term annual addition of phosphorus to the soil
: Fertilization of apple orchards with phosphorus (P) has received less attention than with nitrogen and potassium. In Brazil, the information about apple response to soil P addition is meager.
