The Effects of K and Mg Fertilization on Some Quality Characteristics and Mineral Nutrition of Fig

Cattle manure fertilization increases fig yield

“…In the Small Meander Valley (Aegean Region of Turkey), where dried fig production is concentrated, Eryuce et al (1995) selected a lowland orchard cropped with a ten-yearold Calyrmina cultivar, receiving conventional chemical fertilization, and did not observe any effect on fruit length, width and weight. In the Jiangsu Province (Eastern China) where the annual average temperature ranges from 13ºC to 16ºC, the climate is semi-humid and subtropical, and the annual average rainfall is 800 to 1200 mm (Jinseng et al , 1997) studied the effects of supplementary fertilization with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium on one crop cycle fig trees.…”

Sustainable Management of Frutis Orchards Using Organic Matter and Cover Crops: A Case Study from Brazil

“…However, the obtained data does not allow the assessment of how such effects occurred and which mechanisms were involved (LEONEL & DAMATTO JÚNIOR, 2008). In Small Meander Valley, Aegean Region of Turkey, where dried fig production is concentrated, Eryuce et al (1995) selected an orchard in a lowland area where the trees were ten-year-old, cultivar Calyrmina receiving conventional chemical fertilization, and did not observe any effect of fertilization on fruit length, width and weight. In Jiangsu Province, situated in eastern China, where the annual average temperature ranges from 13ºC to 16ºC, the climate is semi-humid and subtropical, and the annual average rainfall is 800 to 1200 mm, Jinseng et al (1997) studied the effects of supplementary fertilization with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium on fig trees in one crop cycle.…”
