Impact of fertilisation strategies at planting on apple trees in their fi rst and second year

Covering the tree strips with organic material can
improve the vegetative growth of apple trees in
the year of planting. In addition, results of a 2017
trial indicate that the eff ect of such measures is
strongly infl uenced by weather conditions. Further
evaluations in a two-year-old orchard of Braeburn
Mariri Red revealed, growth-promoting effects
of organic fertilization in the fi rst year had no
sigifi cant eff ect on growth or yield in the second
year under the 2017 weather conditions.
