Summary

The effects of 13 years of soil fertilization were studied over a period of four years. In the experiment, trees, soil and apple fruit from 9 treatments with different doses of N, P, K and Mg were compared. The following attributes were evaluated; chemical and biological properties of soil and plants, and quality and yield of fruit. Fruit after harvest were stored in air at 2 °C for 5 months. After thirteen years of fertilization, no significant differences in growth, flowering, fruit set were found.
