Combination of right K and P source on apple fruit yield and economic income in Shaanxi

IPNI-2017-CHN-SN01

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of the combinations of potassium (K) and phosphorus (P) fertilizer sources on apple yield and their economic benefit to provide the scientific basis for selecting the right P and K source for apple production. Two P sources, MicroEssentials® (SE, N-P2O5-S-Zn 12-40-10-1) and diammonium phosphate (DAP), and three K sources, crystal granular potassium chloride (CGMOP), potassium sulfate (K2SO4), and MgK2(SO4)2 were studied.
