Changes of chemical composition of fruit of cherry cultivated on different water and fertilizer conditions

Field experiments were done in 2002–2004 on sandy soil. Crop productivity of cherry (cv. ‘Kelleris’ i ‘Łutówka’) was tested on different water regime (O – con-trol, W – under-crown- irrigation) and various level of nitrogen doses: 0NPK, 1NPK – 130kg N.ha-1 (40+ 30+60), 2NPK – 260 kg N.ha-1 (80+60+120). The ex-periment was designe by split-plot method in 7 replications. Among the trees was the lawn but in the rows the selective herbicide was used. Irrigation was applied when tensiometer show that potential of soil water was lower than 0,01 MPa. De-pending on rainfall the amount of supplemental irrigation equel 27,5–61,3 mm of water during vegetation period. The paper also presents the results of study on the effect of rainfall and total irrigation rates during vegetation on the content N, P, K,Ca, Mg, sugar, vit. C and dry matter of cherry. The cultivars had similar production capabilities. Irrigation significantly increased the yield, by 1,96 t.ha-1 (36,5%). The highest yield of cherry (6,78 t.ha-1) was obtained from plants, which had been fertilized with 260kg N.ha-1. After three years of the research the content of N, P, Mg, sugar, vitamin C in fruit decreased compare to control plots. Higher mineral fertilization caused ...

Analysis of the use of water by cherry, in different conditions of water and ferti-lizer

A field experiment was conducted in 2003 and 2005 at the Experimental Station Lipnik near Stargard, on acid brown soil. The soil is classified as quality class IVb, good rye complex, and for cultivation of light soils with low water re-tention useful. We evaluated the use of water for cherry grown under different water and fertilizer. The experiment was randomized block design in the system dependent (called a split-plot), in seven replications in the experiment. The research was conducted on trees in the fourth year after planting, fall within the third year of fruiting. Maintained grass between the trees, and rows of trees - herbicide fallow. The factor I was watering under-crown: O-control (without irrigation), W-irrigated sites, where soil water potential fell below 0.01 MPa. Irrigation system was used under-crown in which water was distributed by type of Hadar sprinkler scale spraying for cherry-1m. Second factor was the mineral fertilization NPK 0 - control (without fertilization), 2 NPK - 260 kg NPK. ha-1 (80 +60 +120). Nitrogen fertilizers applied in early spring, before moving the vegetation, while phosphorus and potassium in the autumn according to the agrotechnical. Based on water intensity ratio of photosynthesis to transpiration and photosynthetic rate were ...

Effect of microirrigation and mineral fertilization on the cherry yield and selected chemical properties of the light soil

The paper presents the results obtained from field experiments conducted in 2002-2003. They evaluated the effect of irrigation and fertilizationof cherry on the yield and mineral content of some macro-and micronutrients in the soil.Years in which the study was conducted were varied in terms of rainfall-thermal conditions. The growing season in 2002 was characterized by a moderate amount of precipitation and air temperature,while the year2003 was clearly dry and warm. In the study of fruit crops increased under the influence of irrigation, an average of 2.5 kg in terms of a single tree. Similarly, applied fertilizer increased yields of cherries, but the biggest influence was spreading at 1NPK. Under the influence of a higher dose 2NPK fertilization, fruit yield has not increased. Agrotechnical used modified the soil chemcal properties. The most affected was N in the layer of topsoil and under. ...

Effect of irrigation and fertilization of nitrogen and potassium on photo-synthetic activity of cherry

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of microsprinkler and nitrogen-potassium fertilization on photosynthetic activity and quality of two varieties of cherry crop.The study was conducted in 2008-2009 (in the tenth year after planting), the varieties of cherry trees 'Łutówka' and 'Kelleris'. The experiment was a randomized block design in the system dependent (called split-plot) in seven iterations. Trees grown in the span of 4 x 2 mThe use of irrigation and nitrogen and potassium fertilization effect on physiological processes. Trees irrigated intensively assimilated carbon dioxide and water transpired. But had no effect on the concentration of CO2 in the stomatal apparatus. Irrigation has contributed to the reduction of nitrogen index and greening leaves on each tree crown height. The increase in fertilizer N and K increased the value of both indicators.Significantly more efficient photosynthetic apparatus of leaves found in the variety 'Kelleris'.Under the influence of irrigation increase in average fruit yield of the two varieties was 10.3%.Among the larger yielding varieties showed 'Kelleris', although the difference in yields was not large.The use of additional nitrogen-potassium in a dose of 160 kg ha-1 increased fruit yield, as compared to the control was 12.5%.No significant effect of experimental ...
