Abstract
Application of fertilizer to fruit trees is essential to maintain adequate tree growth and good fruit production. Insufficient amounts of fertilizer result in a decrease in tree vigor, fruiting intensity and fruit quality. Excessive amounts of fertilizer may mean a loss of fruit quality, primarily due to shading and poor spray coverage resulting from the lush growth.
