Effect of Organic and Chemical Fertilizer Application on Apple Nutrient Content and Orchard Soil Condition

Apple cultivation in Japan typically involves the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides which can damage environment. Therefore, this study we investigated orchard soil biochemical characteristics as well fruit nutrient contents, pesticide residues apples grown either organically (organic + reduced pesticides) or with conventional rates. Compared fertilizer treatment, organic treatment produced significantly higher contents sugar, total carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus. There were also greater bacterial biomass N circulation fertilized treatments. Minimal detected fruits, but cultivated rates there levels propargite that was used to control spider mites. These residue from conventionally orchards exceeded European Codex standards. results indicate environmentally friendly arboricultural management practices, such enhance cycling soil, reduce burden on environment, promote food safety security.
