Effet des apports de bore sur l'aptitude à l'entreposage des pommes (Malus domestica Borth.).

Effect of boron fertilization on the storage ability of apples (Malus domestica Borth.).

Résumé

The experiment was carried out during three years (1994-1996) with Sampion cultivar grafted on M.26 rootstocks. Boron fertilizer was applied to the soil at a rate of 2 kg B per hectare in the form of boric acid. Boron foliage sprays were applied before of after bloom, using 0.4% boric acid solution. The results show that boron fertilizer did not influence fruit maturity at harvest. There were no significant differences between treatments during storage. However, sprays with boron after bloom increased fruit firmness and decreased incidence of bitter pit, internal breakdown and Glaeosporium-rot during storage.
