Abstract
The effect of applying different doses from 0 to 2 kgs of potas­sium sulphate/tree, divided in four applications, was investigated on Anna apple trees on M.M. 106 stock grown at newly reclaimed sandy soils under a drip irrigation system. No significant effect in leaf N and P content occurred in response to fertilizer addition yet, K, Fe. 7n and Mg content were increased by application of 1.5 or 2.0 Kgs of K2 SO4 Like­wise, obvious increases in leaf total soluble and non soluble carbohy­drates were evident. Significant increase in fruit set and decrease in fruit drop were also noticed. Fruit weight, volume, flesh firmness and T.S.S. values were increased by 1.5 and 2.0 Kgs rate of the fertilizer rendering higher values of T.S.S. /acidity that caused earlier fruit ripening. Howev­er, acid content was not affected. Yield was highly increased by the high rates of potassium sulphate additions.
