Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines apple orchard fertilization practices that have been employed in West Virginia since the 1910s. The author has compiled data from four separate experiments comprising 368 trees of various ages and conditions. All trees in the experiments received clean cultivation and cover crops. The results of the individual experiments varied widely, though some general insights can be gleaned from the cumulative data. No conclusive evidence suggested that commercial applications of potassium had any effect on apple orchard yields in West Virginia. Phosphorus also appeared to have little direct effect on fruit quality or yield, although it did promote the growth of cover crops and sod coverings. Nitrogen, on the other hand, was shown to increase both the size and yield of apples, especially when combined with phosphorus. However, it had some negative effects as well, delaying fruit and tree maturity and diminishing the development of red coloration. The author concludes that while nitrogen fertilizers can be beneficial in some situations, especially for reviving neglected or starved trees, they must be used with care and in conjunction with adequate sunlight to avoid diminishing the quality of the fruit they produce.
