Effect of the ground-water regime and nitrogen fertilizer on the yield and quality of apples : results of a ground-water level experimental field with the apple varieties golden delicious and cox's orange pippin on a young calcareous marine clay soil
Results are given of a 12-year experiment with Cox's Orange Pippin and Golden Delicious apples on M9 rootstock. A 5-ha field on calcereous clayey soil recently reclaimed from the sea (Eastern Flevoland) was laid out to give two replicates of each of eleven drainage/subirrigation regimes. Three levels of nitrogen treatment were superimposed on this. Results are given of soil physical changes (structure, subsidence and compaction), of root and shoot growth of the trees, and of yield and quality of the fruit.
