Apple Peel Biochemical Changes after Foliar Application of Combined Boron and Calcium I. Phenolics and Physico-Chemical Attributes
Mwije, Anthony; Lotze, Elmi; Hoffman, E W (Scientific Research Publishing, 2020-06-30)Post-full bloom foliar applications of boron in combination with calcium (B+Ca) suppress fruit sunburn-browning incidence in apples (Malusdomestica). However, the mode-of-action is not yet explained and hence, protocols ... -
Apple Peel Biochemical Changes after Foliar Application of Combined Boron and Calcium II. Photosynthetic Pigments, Total Peroxides and Photochemical Efficiency
Mwije, Anthony; Lotze, Elmi; Hoffman, E W (Scientific Research Publishing, 2020-06-30)Understanding of the physiological effect of post-full-bloom foliar boron combined with calcium (B+Ca) on apple (Malus domestica) peel tissues is envisaged to give way to the unknown mode-of-action by which these mineral ...
